Google gets with the program for backlinks, Now I can stop using Yahoo entirely

February 06th, 2007 | Category: Google, Marketing, SEO

Google has finally taken the only reason to use Yahoo out of the picture by adding link: back into their feature set of command line functions. According to Matt Cutts:

“In particular, for my site I was easily able to see more than 10x more links in this new tool than the link: command gave me. The link: command has always returned a small fraction of the backlinks that Google knows about, mainly for historical reasons (e.g. limited disk space on the machines that served up “link:” data).”
