Live Search announces linkfromdomain operator

[Skylo]

Live Search announced a few days ago that they are now supporting a new operator called linkfromdomain. This search will return all outgoing links from a domain (this currently does not work for subdomains).

Just go to http://www.live.com/ and enter in linkfromdomain:YOURSITE.COM. Make sure to not include www or any other subdomain.

Seems like quite a handy little tool to see if your site is linking to any bad neighborhoods and what quality sites your competition is linking to.

Handy little tool i say

Cheers

A rather cool thing you can do with it is to use it in conjunction with their other advanced search tools, eg break down the out-going links into regions.

Seeing how Google gives out sucky link data, I wonder if MSN is trying to capitilise on this and bring out cool link-related tools in order to draw traffic away from G

That really wouldn't surprise me Blazingpie.

Though not really SEO related i read a great article from wired (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.10/microsoft.html) on microsoft and its current state. It is also a profile of their new Technology leader, Ray Ozzie, who will be stepping in for bill in 2 years when bill moves into his Chairman role.

Why i say i am not surprised is that Ozzie is a very innovative man and i think with him at the helm we will be seeing a lot more original ideas coming from the microsoft house aimed directly at Googles jugular. Microsofts time to step in on Googles dominance is now and could make or break the software giants chances of being a major internet force.

Some say its already too late, i would say never write off a 35 billion dollar empire :-P
