A little while back you could type in:

-link:www.example.com

and get the backlinks in page rank order. It was good while it lasted :(

Was this mentioned in any threads or was it general knowledge for all the pros? Anyways it's gone now. Thanks Nick.

Oh - that is pushing it dave. Someone got their numbers mixed. 100 variables in the g algo is where the 100 came from.

Check the threads on the -link thing from around mid month last month.
