LinkFromDomain - Live Search’s New Way Of Looking At Links

Finally some news in the world of link-building. Live Search has announced a new search operator known as LinkFromDomain, which attempts to show all of the outbound links FROM a website. This differs quite a bit from the standard way of doing business for search engines.
As Google has went away from transparency, the other search engines seek to make up the difference.
One of Google’s strongest selling points in years past was the relationship they built with webmasters, and the tools they offered to webmasters. Sadly, in the last few years, these tools have seemingly been disabled as Google’s paranoia levels have increased.
We have one new, very exciting operator: LinkFromDomain. Using LinkFromDomain in your search includes all sites that are linked from a given domain. This complements LinkDomain (which includes all sites that link to a given domain) that was introduced back in June, 05.
Only one problem with this operator: it doesn’t appear to work on many, many websites. I’m not sure how quickly they plan on making all websites available, but that will be a big step in the right direction towards making this operator successful.
Give it a try. This one has a ton of potential to be useful.

Try dropping the http://www. to make linkfromdomain work in more cases.
That said, the SEO capacities for link(from)domain don’t even begin to compare to the power of macros with multiple site network.
Do you stack up to diggRank? or popularRank?
