Google Tricks

· link:url Shows other pages with links to that url.

· related:url same as "what's related" on serps.

· site:domain restricts search results to the given domain.

· allinurl: shows only pages with all terms in the url.

· inurl: like allinurl, but only for the next query word.

· allintitle: shows only results with terms in title.

· intitle: similar to allintitle, but only for the next word.

· "intitle:seoforgoogle google" finds only pages with seoforgoogle in the title, and google anywhere on the page.

· cache:url will show the Google version of the passed url.

· info:url will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box.

· spell: will spell check your query and search for it.

· stocks: will lookup the search query in a stock index.

· filetype: will restrict searches to that filetype. "-filetype:pdf" to remove Adobe PDF files.

· daterange: is supported in Julian date format only. 2452384 is an example of a Julian date.

· maps: If you enter a street address, a link to Yahoo Maps and to MapBlast will be presented.

· phone: enter anything that looks like a phone number to have a name and address displayed. Same is true for something that looks like an address (include a name and zip code)

· site:www.somesite.net "+www.somesite.+net" - (tells you how many pages of your site are indexed by google)

· allintext: searches only within text of pages, but not in the links or page title

· allinlinks: searches only within links, not text or title
