Google Tricks

  • 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

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