Problems in Google Cheat-Sheet

[Ruudi33]

hi all,
I'm having problems using Google-Cheat-Sheet's "link:",

when I type "link:www.mydomain.com" in Google Search, it gives me "Your search did not match any documents", & I'm SURE I've sites linking to my site because I designed these sites & all indexed in Google.

I dont know if it helps, but when I did the same in Yahoo "link:mydomain.com" it gave me "39 links".

have anyone had this problem ?

Google returns only a small sample of the actual links they have recorded when the link: query is used.
They don't want to tell us too much :(

If you want a bigger count of links Google is aware of, you should use Google Webmaster Tools.

There's lots of discussion of this over in the Google forum, and it's also listed in our Google Hot Topics [webmasterworld.com] section:

The link: Operator - it's not what you might expect [webmasterworld.com]

Receptional Andy, I ve signed up for Google Webmaster Tools, but can you tell me how can I find something similar to "link:".

In the menu on the left:

Links >> Pages with external links

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, btw, Ruudi33 :)
