How do you search a domain for backlinks on specific linktext?

Meaning, if [domain.com...] has 10,000 backlinks, how would you get a list of all backlinks to that domain using only the keyword "kw" in their linktext?

[glengara]

allinanchor:keyword - you need to know the KW though.

Combining "link:bla" and allinanchor:"blaKW" doesn't seem to work on Google, does it work on alltheweb?

Try the "Advanced Search", then set it up as follows:

"Must include" your.domain.com "In the link to URL"
"Must not include" your.domain.com "In the URL"

This way you get the backlinks to your.domain.com. But I was not able to filter for those backlinks that contain a certain keyword from this result set. If you go further than this, please tell me.

I think I got it but I'm note sure if this is working correctly. So the idea is in this example I'm looking for how many backlinks yahoo has that have the word "homepage" in the link text. Here's what I type:

allinanchor:homepage yahoo.com [google.com]

Mods, I'm assuming that it's ok to link to this since it is to yahoo.com, if not feel free to pull out the url link.

If I'm correct, then from looking at KWs in my sector, link text has less of an impact then I thought. But maybe there's a mistake in my methodology.

P.S. it doesn't filter out the domain name itself...and isn't 100% accurate, but I think it does more or less give you some good ideas.
