One thing that I have found with checking backlinks, especially with your competitors, is that ‘link:’ type operators won’t show all of the backlink results for Google. This is because Google only shows through links that are trusted for that domain (Google staggers backlink value over time).

Conversely, if you create a backlink then check the “link:” operator for Yahoo, it may show up virtually overnight. This is because Yahoo doesn’t filter the backlinks it shows as heavily. If you compare the two, you can get some idea of how many of their links are old trusted links and how many of their new links or old inks may potentially be spam. Based on these results, you can get some idea of what their marketing budget might look like and how hard they will be to compete with.

Great Post. There are many people out there that just do not know about these searches and how beneficial they can be. I use them all the time to find my site/s and backlinks.

Jason, that is a great tip about using more results when choosing a potential domain name. Everyone gets caught up in finding niche phrases with a little competition and not really thinking the opposite could help when choosing a domain name for a sub niche.

Sorry about the link above ^. The gist of that thread was to use all of these various Google searches to determine keyword competition for running affiliate programs and PPC. The break down was this:

1) Normal Search: 10 mil on a keyword might be too competitive to bid on for PPC, it might make a terrific domain name!

Excellent! I didn’t realize that you’d have to put quotes around the [allintitle:"keywords go here"]

Thanks. i often find choosing the domain name the hardest part of the process. So many ways to go wrong. And such a nuisance if you don’t choose a good one you’;re stuck with it for life! (or so it seems). :)
