Google Blog Search Now Reads Links on Web Pages at digital inspiration (Oct 31)
Google Blog Search uses link:
"If your search query resembles a web address (URL), Google Blog Search automatically uses the link: operator and shows list of blogs that have earlier linked to the web address mentioned in your query. ... This means that if another blog (abc.com) has linked to your own blog (my.com) from his sidebar, Google will now show abc.com in the results as well when you query for link:my.com."
