Allinurl Question

Why is it giving me other results

[le_gber]

Hi,

I just tried:

allinurl:"www.mydom-ain.com"

and it's giving me results for www.mydom.ain.com as well as www.mydom-ain.com

Anybody knows why?

Also it seems that www.mydom.ain.com use to do a lot of 'fake' backlinking. Do you thing I coul be penilized for it if google can't defferenciate site?

Type in the two domains directly, and you'll see Google knows they are seperate unrelated sites.

It just indicates how the allinurl command works: treating hyphens and dots both as simple seperators of words.

ok it works (but had to remove the "" again), my mistake :).

But what if I want to find backlinks or sometinhg like that?

Hmm, what can I say - the advanced search options/special commands in Google are rather poor. *shrug*

>>advanced search options/special commands in Google

I second that. There are similar problems with some ATW advanced searches too.

Have the search engines spent so much time making sites for new visitors they've forgotten about the power users who made them in the first place?

Come on Google, give me some more buttons to play with! I'm bored with allinurl: site: and link: and related: was always rubbish anyway ;)

Me second that too - because google only gives you backlinks < 4, I tried ATW but no chances there either.
(I've only got a couple of backlinks yet so it doesn't really matter that much)

Can't see that. In ATW you just type your domain / www.example.com into the query box and get all links, as well as all indexed pages. Plus a whois and a wayback direct link.

get all links, as well as all indexed pages

the indexed page thingy works but the other no. It's taknig the mydom.ain.com with it.
I am sure I don't have 1492 backlinks - I've got 10 maximum.

I wasn't specifically talking about le_gber's search, but I have run into problems before with very complex queries. For instance after reading a post by Shaq regarding .iq domain names, I attempted to find urls on alltheweb that included 'iq' in the hostname, but did not include the other major tlds like .com .org .net. My search is not filtered correctly and so I still end up with the occasional .com etc.

Here's my search [alltheweb.com]

You can clearly see iq.com in 2nd place, even though the word 'com' is excluded from the hostname. Or am I just being a dumbass?

Looking up all sites indexed under a specific TLD in ATW you can use this syntax:
url.tld:xx

Example:
url.tld:ca
