Advanced Google Operators

Google has a list of advanced operators popular among the SEO community. However, most web site owners are not aware of these, so I will take the time to explain what they are and how they work. These operators are used as part of your search, requesting certain information from the search engine: This one is popular. [ LINK: ]. Using this along with you domain name will show you who is linked to you. Typing "link:http://www.mysite.com" in the Google search bar will return links pointing to your site. This will show you who is linking to you. Do not place a space between link and the address, and be sure to add http:// to your domain name. Results may not show otherwise. Another great operator is [ INURL: ]. This will restrict your search to one site only. Typing "inurl:www.mr-seo.com Joe Balestrino" will return results for Joe Balestrino only on http://www.mr-seo.com. There you can request a free web design quote.
