link:www.kchut.com
You may ask, why Yahoo? The reason is that Google’s link: operator does not returns all the results. Therefore, most Webmasters use Yahoo to check the backlinks. However, Google has recently introduced another section in the Webmaster Tools to show the webmasters a more complete set of backlinks. This section can be accessed from your Google Sitemap account.
