Google Operators

site:
If you include [site:] in your query, Google will restrict the results to those websites in the given domain. For instance, [help site:www.google.com] will find pages about help within www.google.com. [help site:com] will find pages about help within .com urls. Note there can be no space between the “site:” and the domain.

allintitle:
If you start a query with [allintitle:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the title. For instance, [allintitle: google search] will return only documents that have both “google” and “search” in the title.

intitle:
If you include [intitle:] in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the title. For instance, [intitle:google search] will return documents that mention the word “google” in their title, and mention the word “search” anywhere in the document (title or no). Note there can be no space between the “intitle:” and the following word.

Putting [intitle:] in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting [allintitle:] at the front of your query: [intitle:google intitle:search] is the same as [allintitle: google search].

allinurl:
If you start a query with [allinurl:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the url. For instance, [allinurl: google search] will return only documents that have both “google” and “search” in the url.

Note that [allinurl:] works on words, not url components. In particular, it ignores punctuation. Thus, [allinurl: foo/bar] will restrict the results to page with the words “foo” and “bar” in the url, but won’t require that they be separated by a slash within that url, that they be adjacent, or that they be in that particular word order. There is currently no way to enforce these constraints.

inurl:
If you include [inurl:] in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the url. For instance, [inurl:google search] will return documents that mention the word “google” in their url, and mention the word “search” anywhere in the document (url or no). Note there can be no space between the “inurl:” and the following word.

Putting “inurl:” in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting “allinurl:” at the front of your query: [inurl:google inurl:search] is the same as [allinurl: google search].

allinanchor: Note: Not taken directly from Google, but is my definition.
If you start a query with [allinanchor:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in anchor text pointing to their site. For instance, [allinanchor: google search] will return documents that have both “google” and “search” in anchor text pointing to their site.

Note that [allinanchor:] works on words, not url components. In particular, it ignores punctuation. Thus, [allinanchor: foo/bar] will restrict the results to pages with the words “foo” and “bar” in the anchor text, but won’t require that they be separated by a slash within that anchor text, that they be adjacent, or that they be in that particular word order. There is currently no way to enforce these constraints.

inanchor: Note: Not taken directly from Google, but is my definition.
If you include [inanchor:] in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in anchor text pointing to their site. For instance, [inanchor:google search] will return documents that have the word “google” in anchor text pointing to their site, and mention the word “search” anywhere in the document. Note there can be no space between the “inanchor:” and the following word.

Putting “inanchor:” in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting “allinanchor:” at the front of your query: [inanchor:google inanchor:search] is the same as [allinanchor: google search].

cache:
The query [cache:] will show the version of the web page that Google has in its cache. For instance, [cache:www.google.com] will show Google’s cache of the Google homepage. Note there can be no space between the “cache:” and the web page url.

If you include other words in the query, Google will highlight those words within the cached document. For instance, [cache:www.google.com web] will show the cached content with the word “web” highlighted.

link:
The query [link:] will list webpages that have links to the specified webpage. For instance, [link:www.google.com] will list webpages that have links pointing to the Google homepage. Note there can be no space between the “link:” and the web page url.

related:
The query [related:] will list web pages that are “similar” to a specified web page. For instance, [related:www.google.com] will list web pages that are similar to the Google homepage. Note there can be no space between the “related:” and the web page url.

info:
The query [info:] will present some information that Google has about that web page. For instance, [info:www.google.com] will show information about the Google homepage. Note there can be no space between the “info:” and the web page url.

define:
The query [define:] will provide a definition of the words you enter after it, gathered from various online sources. The definition will be for the entire phrase entered (i.e., it will include all the words in the exact order you typed them).

stocks:
If you begin a query with the [stocks:] operator, Google will treat the rest of the query terms as stock ticker symbols, and will link to a page showing stock information for those symbols. For instance, [stocks: intc yhoo] will show information about Intel and Yahoo. (Note you must type the ticker symbols, not the company name.)

Yahoo Operators

site:
This allows one to find all documents within a particular domain and all it’s subdomains. Very good way to find out if the search engine has found all of you’re pages and indexed them fully.
Example: site:creativeconfusion.net

hostname:
This allows you to find all documents from a particular host only. Example: hostname:toolbar.google.com

link:
This allows one to find documents that link to a particular url. A great way to see if you’re link exchanges are working and showing up.
Example: link:http://www.creativeconfusion.net

url:
This allows you to find a specific document in the Yahoo index.
Example: url:http://www.creativeconfusion.net/search_engines/yahoo-commands.html

inurl:
This will allow you to find a specific keyword as part of indexed urls.
Example: inurl:search_engines

intitle:
This allows one to find a specific keyword as part of the indexed titles in the Yahoo search engine. Great way of searching for spam.
Example: intitle:Search Engine News

Webmasters, who prefer Wordpress or MovableType have made a choice that makes most of hard changes already done, because both types of these blog platforms give good, very clean code on output, insert right tags, etc. Anyway, there are some tips useful for all blog webmasters:

1. Work on code – try to put text field of each page as higher as you can, though Google confers much importance to the beginning of a page.
2. Rewrite your urls with keyword-rich urls corresponding subject of page.
3. In case if you blog contains several subjects – divide them into categories. This increases relevancy and helps to get better ranking.
4. After creating a blog, check if it is possible to insert different keywords in index template and templates of categories and posts. Being aware of PHP coding, I have made so that title of post, category name, and latest article on index page name are automatically inserted in title tag.
5. Update your blog by schedule. It is better to post once daily, than post seven posts in one day and then leave your blog for a week.

Google begins releasing a bit of AJAX code, which powers Google Maps and Gmail. A JavaScript implementation is allowing web browser to get XML documents directly from server performing format conversion locally. Doing this way you save time and bandwidth.

The WSJ article says that Google plans to launch an online payment system, which will be very same to PayPal (eBay corporation).

Google is definitely the largest search engine. Using it’s advertising powers it can make it’s payment system very popular in a short period of time, thus multiplying company’s income. You know that such payment systems charge some commission on every transaction.

It is clearly understandable that if Google will launch such a project, it can easily overpower PayPal and other electronic payment systems in a short period of time. This will also decrease Google’s expenses for payments to webmasters through banks. So, if Google will make this step – it will be really significant for the company and Internet marketing in general.
