link:URL backlink command

[gtate]

I normally check backlinks with the link:url command in the search bar of Google for their cached links and Yahoo for the toral amount of links. This still works in Google, but not Yahoo (or msn).

Anyone know what's going on, or can recommend a good way of checking total backlinks ?

On Yahoo
linkdomain:example.com -site:example.com

[nailah phoomee]

The results are different between link:www.domain.com and link: www.domain.com ( with one space ) .

Which command does give an actual or close to actual result of what google sees ?

None. None. None. Google never never ever shows what it recognizes as a link. It never has, it does not to this day. Use Yahoo.
