I found a site that has a PR4 with no link popularity.
I didnt think this was possible given Googles heavy emphasis on incoming links.

Hi mrbrad,

Welcome to WW.

Are you sure it doesn't have any links? A search for backlinks on google will only show pages with PR of about 4 or higher, the site might have many links below the threshhold.

Best bet is to try a search on alltheweb.com. Use this syntax:

link.all:www.thatdomain.com -site:www.thatdomain.com

The results will show all links to any page on the site minus any of the domains internal links.

No they don't. When I put my PR4 site with a bunch of PR6 and a couple of PR7 links, I get NOTHING.

link.all doesn't work at all on Google. link:www.thatdomain.com gives me 242 links for my site. It should give a lot more, because every of about 1500 pages on my site is linked to the main page.

Best way I know to find MOST external links (not only >=PR4) on Google is to find a word that is on every page of your site (like your site name), and do this:

"thatdomain.com" -site:thatdomain.com

This query returns 210 external links to my site that mention "thatdomain.com" name (again, not all)

How would I get a list of external links to any page on my site? Say, I need to find a number of external links (only) to www.thatdomain.com/coolfolder/?
