Ya, there is a difference

Google and MSN responds only when we type link: command whereas for yahoo one will have to use links: command.

hello
there is one difference that is you have to fully write the url in Yahoo. Ex. link:http://www.yoursite.com. and the link: command is for MSN,google and yahoo. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hey it all hapenned with me in google.the thing here to consider is that the link: command was accurate, giving me all of the links I know I have but the links: command gave me a whole lot of lists of sites I know I do not link to. I was wondering whether or not this was a command for Google to give me a listing of related sites I might want to list to, which I thought strange.

The link: command lists those sites that links to you and not the sites to you link you. hope it is clear to you.

have a nice time

this might help

The link: command when used in Google will give you those sites linking to you. The links: command is invalid in Google so the sites that u r seeing are those that come up as if it's a generalized search. If your domain contains keywords you're likely seeing sites that don't link to yours but qualify to be returned in the SERPs for that search query. Even just the word "links" will be in that mix.
