Narrowing your search
Yahoo indexes billions of pages, so take the opportunity to narrow down the
kinds of results you get using Site Explorer. Remember how I told you in the last
chapter that diferent kinds of domains (.edu, .com, .org, etc.) sometimes have
diferent lavors? You can take advantage of that here. You can set up a search
for your domain and add site:edu to see what .edu sites are linking to you. Or
perhaps there's a particular country whose links you are most interested in; you
could use that country's code in conjunction with a link search.
tip
Just because a site is created and produced in another country 
does not mean it uses that country's code. For example, a site may 
be created and maintained in Japan, but its urL may end in .com. 
so when you use a country code to narrow down the results of 
your search, bear in mind you'll be excluding some sites that end 
in .com, .org, etc. 
And of course you can do plain keyword searches, too. Maybe you'd like
to ind out what sites are linking to you but mentioning a competitor, or
