Link search is usually done through advanced queries in search engines or using link search tools like <a title=\"SEOMoz Link Finder\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seomoz.org\/link-finder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEOMoz Link Finder<\/a>. You can also analyze competitors\u2019 backlink profiles with tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/seranking.com\/backlink-checker.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SE Ranking<\/a> and compile a list of potential websites to get links from.<\/p>\n<p><em>This entry is part of the <a title=\"SEO School\" href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/learn-seo-basics-seo-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEO Hacker School<\/a> series: <a title=\"Linkbuilding Techniques\" href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/linkbuilding-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linkbuilding Techniques<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Link search is never easy &#8211; and don&#8217;t believe blog entries that tell you link search is easy. It&#8217;s not. Even when you get to find a link worth having, you&#8217;ll still have to negotiate with the webmaster in order to get it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advanced Queries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Or what we would like to call Advanced Link Search &#8211; is a method of link search using the search engines itself. When, for example, you are selling Bed Mattresses and you go to Google.com and type in a query such as &#8216;Bed Mattress links&#8217; you won&#8217;t usually find websites where you can get bed mattress links from. That&#8217; just won&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is an advanced query for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Advanced queries are used to narrow down your search into something more specific.

I am not going to talk about whether links in PDF files pass PageRank. But, a good way to think about PDFs is that they are kind of like Flash in that they aren&#8217;t a file format that&#8217;s inherent and native to the web, but they can be very useful. In the same way that we try to find useful content within a Flash file, we try to find the useful content within a PDF file. At the same time, users don&#8217;t always like being sent to a PDF. If you can make your content in a Web-Native format, such as pure HTML, that&#8217;s often a little more useful to users than just a pure PDF file.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>link:<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This search operator limits your search results to all links pointing to the search term that you entered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong> [ <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>link<\/em>:seo-hacker.com<\/span> ] will show you pages that have links pointing to seo-hacker.com<\/p>\n<p>Of course, most of the links pointing to seo-hacker.com are its own links so you would need to exclude seo-hacker.com in your search.
