Definitely! I have a little site: bookmarklet on my bookmark toolbar just for it. Why use crappy site search when you can really search the site?!

“Site:” is so useful, especially for old sites that don’t have search boxes. I use it practically every day.

Thanks for sharing your cool stuff. 🙂

For those six operators, I’ve been using them for a long time. Some additional tips for those unfamiliar:

Combine intitle, inurl, and inanchor for your keyword of choice to further narrow down the number of targeted competitors in a niche. Sometimes you will find zero.

Thanks. I really appreciate the Google search tips such as allintitle, allinurl, etc. I never knew about them until recently, have no idea what they would be called in a search, but find them very useful.

Here’s one when you are looking for blogs:
“site:.com inurl:blog + “post a comment” + search engine optimization”

Hi, complete newbie here but appreciate the great resources, thanks! I checked the cache link and came up with a 3/5 Google visit(today is 3/24) Is it supposed to be daily? What is an acceptable time frame between visits?

With the TouchGraph Google browser you can get a nice visual of the related search.

Hi Steve,
thank you for appreciating this post. I use related: operator less frequently than the others too, but it can be useful to identify some linking opportunities…

Nice post on advanced search operators. Probably the one I don’t use as much as I could is the related operator. As you say this can be a useful way of finding related sites and authority/hub sites that may be beneficial for seo purposes.
