Short answer: the old Yahoo Site Explorer era is over. Yahoo shut Site Explorer on November 21, 2011, so the quick “show me backlinks for any domain” option that many replies in this thread recommended no longer exists; today you use verified webmaster tools (and third‑party indexes) instead. See the announcement about Site Explorer’s closure. (searchengineland.com)

Practical steps (what works now): verify your site in Bing Webmaster Tools and in Google Search Console, then use their backlink reports to get lists you can export and audit. Google’s Links report lets you export “latest links” (up to large CSVs) and shows what Google has observed for your verified property. Bing’s Backlinks report includes “for your site” and “to any site” views and competitor comparisons. For broader coverage, cross‑check with independent crawlers such as Ahrefs or Majestic—each provider sees different links, so combine sources. ()

Important cautions and a simple workflow: no single tool shows every backlink. Export from GSC and Bing, dedupe and sort by referring domain quality, then contact webmasters to remove bad links or use Google’s Disavow tool if removal is impossible. Treat search-operator results as partial samples, not complete inventories. For details on the Links and Disavow tools see Google’s documentation and Bing’s webmaster posts. ()

Note: this updates posts by , , , and —those suggestions were correct historically, but the modern workflow relies on verified webmaster consoles and backlink indexers.

What does linkdomain: actually do? Does it actually find the backlinks?

In yahoo, you need to use the full url with the link command...link:http://www.yza.com

With linkdomain, it's done as stated above.

Hi g0rb4ch3v (and the rest of the Thread)!

You can find a very interesting article about Yahoo! Site Explorer, where you can learn how inlinks are calculated. There are also several tools available for counting and listing backlinks. Here's a rather long list of free tools
You may also want to try my PageRank Gadget tool (http://www.mt-soft.com.ar/2007/12/21/site-popularity-google-gadget/) which finds out your PageRank, Alexa ranking plus the number of backlinks to your site, as reported by Google. Altavista, etc.

Most of the free tools doesn´t show the backlinks on google. Is needed to create an account on google webmasters center and look for the backlins there.
