Most people know how to search Google for information about a topic but not many people know how to find information about websites. Here is a great list of commands we use daily:
Enter just the word
http for your search to find the top 1000 PageRanked sites.
Enter only
www in your search to see how Google ranks the top 1,000 sites.
Manually type the following prefixes and note their utility:
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
