Link searching technique

[digitalludhiana]

Hi, guys, I was using some tools to get find out my competitor links and it was going good but now, I have encountered something new, I would say a new trick but don't know am I doing it correctly or not.

the trick is as follow:

link:domain.com -site:domain.com

search for this query in google and google will show you the links connected to the searched domain.com, at first it worked well but after that it didn't workout. Do you guys think that there is a problem in this query.

The search techniques covered here (keywords, Boolean operators, phrase searching) are combined to create search statements. Search statements are used when searching catalogs, databases, and search engines to find books, articles, and websites.

Just tried it & it works! Thanks for this one. It seems like an easy way to find backlinks without using any tool - just from the google search query box.

I have one more search technique to add to this list.
Just type the name of the competitor and type backlinks.
That ought to give you the backlinks of your competitors.
Thanks for your search tactic as well.
I will try it and let people know how much it helps.
