I received a comment from Pam Pozniak at The Barnyard Inn in response to my recent article, “Top 10 Link Tips“, asking for clarification in finding backlinks in Google. I’d like to share my response:

Hi Pam,

To see the backlinks for any website, go to the search bar for that particular search engine - this works in Google, Yahoo and MSN - not the address bar in your browser. Then type in link:www.barnyardinn.com and hit search. The results will show you the incoming links recognized by that search engine. This is what I found in Google for your website:

Google is in the middle of a backlink update right now, so you may get differing results because you may be searching different data centers.

    I also have a super-secret way to ferret our more backlinks than the method described above. instead of link:www.barnyardinn.com try searching in Google for http://www.barnyardinn.?com and you will get many more listings… it can be a lot to wade through, but, it is a good way to get everything.
