MSN has offered up a pretty cool new search operator for those into deep site research. LinkFromDomain: will return data on a sites outbound linkage, which is something I typically include on competitive reports for clients since its always fun to sneak some of your competitions link juice.
On to the fun stuff.
This new operator can be combined with a site: operator to help you hunt down your competitor’s wikipedia links and play wiki samurai for the day. For example, you could use site:competitorsite.com linkfromdomain:wikipedia.org to get a list of msn index wiki links and view the titles of your competitors pages. Armed with this information you can hunt out those categories and eradicate your competitors wiki links. On the other hand you could play the sneaky roll of keyboard ninja and use
site:yoursite.com linkfromdomain:wikipedia.org to keep of your precious hord of wiki links and make sure that those pesky wiki samurais are not burning them down. If they are, make sure you head right on over to wikipedia and revise the incorrect wiki article.
I can think of a few other fun uses for this operator but its more fun to discover them yourself. So put on your ninja armor, pick up your new weapon and head on out to do some serious pirate killing.
