How to use the removed Yahoo Linkdomain command

As Truman Hedding and lot’s of other people noticed, Yahoo implemented a redirect from their original search page to the yahoo site explorer interface.

While I understand this step I must admit I HATE that overloaded slow loading YSE interface… and I think this step is way too early as the Yahoo site explorer does not yet support all the features you got on the Yahoo search interface.

To Tim Mayer & Go:


Change it back!

Meanwhile you can still use the linkdomain: command on yahoo with extended search operators like +site and -site which is one thing I always do anyway…

linkdomain:cemper.com +site:.edu

or like this one

linkdomain:marketingfan.com -site:.com -site:.org +site:.de

so in any case where you combine linkdomain: with something more advanced, they still serve the search interface you know and like.

    An excellent post. I just used the technique on a few competitors and found a good few clean .edu and .gov links

    This does not work on yahoo any more from the 1st October 2010.

    Thanks.. I was trying to find why the linkdomain command wasn’t working. You are a life saver!
