A short, up-to-date summary to sit above this older thread: several replies here (for example from , , , , and ) describe tactics that were common a decade-plus ago. The current, practical approach is different — search‑operator tricks and public site explorers are no longer a reliable single source. For owned sites, use each search engine’s verified-owner reporting; for competitor or broad discovery use modern backlink indexes and treat every source as a sampled view, not the full web. (searchengineland.com)

Google: the authoritative “what Google has seen” view comes from the Search Console Links report — it separates external vs internal links and supports downloads; expect counts and rows here to differ from commercial crawlers because Google’s view is its own sample. If a link isn’t in Search Console it’s still possible Google knows about it (or not), so use the report as the primary verified source for your site. (developers.google.com)

Bing / Yahoo: Bing provides an Inbound Links (Backlinks) report for verified sites and export capabilities; Yahoo’s old Site Explorer was retired and Yahoo’s search has been tied into Microsoft/Bing workflows for years, so official backlink data usually requires a verified webmaster account on the engine that powers the index. (blogs.bing.com)

For competitor research and larger coverage rely on commercial link indexes (examples: Ahrefs, Majestic, SEMrush) because they run independent crawlers and maintain larger, searchable backlink databases. Typical workflow: export your official lists, pull the same domain from one or more commercial indexes, dedupe by referring domain, inspect anchor text and follow/nofollow, then remediate (contact webmasters first; disavow only as a last resort). Treat tool counts as complementary; cross‑check before taking action. (ahrefs.com)

For most of these, you just need to visit the search engine and type the following into the search box:
link:

Also as for bing it is not so easy. I remember reading some time ago that to get the backlinks for bing you need to register an account then log in to view the stats for the backlinks. So that makes it impossible for automated scripts to get the bing backlinks. I see a mod has answered how to get backlinks with google, yahoo and possibly a few others.

Member Avatar for crohole

To Jay : It just work for Google, but no others

To Mr. Cwarn23 : How about the others, can you reply me with the keyword wih the rest search engine except bing? Please.

Member Avatar for cwarn23

I tested the following keyword on google, yahoo and altavista and it seems to work perfectly.

link:google.com

The above search term will search for all pages that link to google.com Also it tells you how many backlinks exist simply by checking how many results occurred. Also another example is as follows:

link:daniweb.com

I just checked and gigablast has an advanced search option where you can search for backlinks although I can't seem to get it to work. As for ask, I can't see any function in the ask search engine for backlinks yet.

where does this site get data from?is it updated?

Member Avatar for fumnimda

i had a list of the phrases that find backlink in some SE. i couldn't find it now,but i know it for Google and Yahoo which i use more.
for Google : just use link: in search area.
it gets you backlinks for your index page.internallink (from other page of you site) is included. Google has no option to just get the external links. i mean backlink from other sites.

in Yahoo use linkdomain:yourdomain.com(or ) in search area.
if you want just external links use this : linkdomain:yourdomain.com(or ) -site:yourdomain.com(or )

i try to find the complete list.

Gigablast? What the hell is that?

link:url will do for the major SEs. Gigablast? I can't belive you mentionned that dinosaur. What do they get, less than .05% of web search traffic. Wake up! It's Google, then MSN (Bing,Live) and Yahoo in about that order. Get with the program.

What - Live, that's an extinct dinosaur. I believe MSN is Bing and Bing replaced Live. Live search nolonger exists and laughed when seeing Live in a year 2050 based film. lol

You could register an account with google, i.e., It would give you exactly what are all the links, it has taken into account.

Similarly for bing, if you have a live account, you can login to

oh,yes,Google webmaster tools is a great tool for SEO !
it gives you information about backlink,internallink,most keyword searched for your site and ....
Google Analytics is also a great tool.

Google Analytics is also a great tool.

At all costs do not use Google Analytics. The google analytics system has frozen a few times causing a few banks websites to not load. So if Google Analytics will cause banks websites to not load then why should you trust it with yours? However this only happens about once every 6 to 12 months. Google seems to be starting to freeze more frequently though as all of their system are controlled by the one mainframe (eg. Youtube, google search, google analytics, google webmasters, google maps, google earth, google street view) So those listed products with many more are controlled by the one mainframe setup instead of individual setups for each product and when that one mainframe crashes, boom - 5% of the internet is offline. Happened for about 52 hours in the past year over two separate occasions.

Member Avatar for cwarn23

It is more like the best 3 search engines which include Google, Bing and Yahoo. The reason, they hold the greatest market share with Google being the strongest and I think Bing might be the weakest in the market share.
