Live.com (MSN) announced a new search option for tracking all the Outbound Links from a website. [ Linkfromdomain:] enables you to get the entire list of links from your site which are pointing to other external domains.
This is a compliment search option for the [Linkdomain:] search, which is used to fetch the entire BackLinks (inbound links) pointing To your site from external sites. That was introduced back in Jun, 2005.
How to search using Linkfromdomain:
Oprn the search.live.com and type linkfromdomain:yoursitename.tld – eg. linkfromdomain:kichus.in gives the list of Outbound Links from www.kichus.in. Remember type your domain name without the ‘www’ part, else it is showing error – as of now and am not sure whether they will fix it or not.
Advantages of Linkfromdomain search:
- The main advantage is, with a combination search of [Linkdomain:] and [Linkfromdomain:] searches you can easily track the Reciprocal Links.
- And with the list of Entire BackLinks (inbound links) and Reciprocal Links, you can easily track the Oneway Links also.
- With a combination of [Site: ] and [Linkfromdomain:] search you can track From Domain X Where Are the Link Destinations on Domain Y?. A live tool, you can find it here.
