Who Is Linking to My Site?

If you want to find what links to your site exist on the web, some search engines provide a linkdomain operator. For instance, if I wanted to find links to support.moonpoint.com , I could search using linkdomain:support.moonpoint.com to find out who else is linking to my site.

Linkdomain Operator Supported

MSN Search
AltaVista
AlltheWeb

Linkdomain Operator Not Supported

Google
AOL Search
Ask.com
Gigablast
LookSmart

With MSN Search you can also use "links to", e.g. links to support.moonpoint.com. See Search Builder and advanced search options for other MSN Search operators.

Google does not provide a linkdomain operator, but I could search on " support.moonpoint.com" to find pages that contain pages that contain the "support.moonpoint.com", though that will find only instances where the website name appears on a page, not instances where a link points to the site.
