Link Search

There are lots of ways in the internet that you can use to search for links – or what is more widely known as link search. Link search is usually done through advanced queries in search engines or using link search tools like SEOMoz Link Finder.

Link search is never easy – and don’t believe blog entries that tell you link search is easy. It’s not. Even when you get to find a link worth having, you’ll still have to negotiate with the webmaster in order to get it.

Advanced Queries

Or what we would like to call Advanced Link Search – is a method of link search using the search engines itself. When, for example, you are selling Bed Mattresses and you go to Google.com and type in a query such as ‘Bed Mattress links’ you won’t usually find websites where you can get bed mattress links from. That’ just won’t happen.

What is an advanced query for?

Advanced queries are used to narrow down your search into something more specific. Here are some of Google’s advanced query commands:

Search Service	Search Operators
Web Search	allinanchor:, allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, cache:, define:, filetype:, id:, inanchor:, info:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:, link:, phonebook:, related:, site:
Image Search	allintitle:, allinurl:, filetype:, inurl:, intitle:, site:
Groups	allintext:, allintitle:, author:, group:, insubject:, intext:, intitle:
Directory	allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, ext:, filetype:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:
News	allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:, location:, source:
Product Search	allintext:, allintitle:

Some of the search operators indicated will not work if you put a space between the colon (:) and the query word.

There are so many search operators you can play with in searching for links. Note: I only included the search operators I think you can use in Link Searching.

allinanchor:

This search operator limits your Google results to pages that has all the query terms you made in the anchor text on links to the page.

For example: [ allinanchor: best bed mattress philippines ] – this advanced search query will return pages in which the anchor text on its inbound links contain the words “best”, “bed”, “mattress” and “philippines”

Link Search: This is a good link search strategy when you’re looking to find other websites to extract good links from with your desired anchor text in it.
