site:domain.com -asdf?

Help a novice with this gem .....

[fatslogger]

I've just unearthed this gem from the depths of another thread.

What does it do (and what does it stand for)? Will it list all pages under that domain that are indexed?

Anyone got any other similar tips tricks I could use?

Hi fatslogger, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

that query will list all pages that are indexed in which that term (-asdf) is not on the page. It's one way to see all the pages that are indexed.

And try something like:

allintext:<domain> -etwewtewt -site:<domain>

which should give you a rough estimate of the sites linking to yours. link:<domain> only shows backlinks from PR4 sites and above, I believe.
