google-search
We are in the process of moving to a different provider, and I want to check which popular deep links go to our site. I have some server logs, but I want to cross-check with Google. I do know
link:ourdomain.com
Can I exclude links that go directly to ourdomain.com or www.ourdomain.com from this search?
This error message is most commonly seen when the IP address you're using is sending too many queries to Google, or when your browser's user-agent is not reporting correctly.
If you are in a large corporate environment which uses NAT to share a single real-world IP to the entire company, or sends all web traffic through a proxy server, you stand a much greater chance of seeing this message. In these situations, Google sees all of the corporate traffic as being from a single computer (IP Address).
If your security software likes to hide your user-agent header, you can also trigger this. Google's terms of use explicitly disallow using software to search for you. As a result, a nonexistent or unverified user-agent header can trigger this error.
Actually, the pages previews you dislike so much are your ticket to the cached page version – the link to the cached page has been moved into the preview area:
As to the preview itself, there is no way to completely disable it I am aware of. However, if you close a preview by clicking the small closing cross in its right upper corner, previews should only pop up when you hover over the >> area to the right of the search results.

If you use the Google Webmaster Tools you can get a more comprehensive view of the inbound links. You can also download the table of links to a CSV file, which you can then massage in a spreadsheet program to your heart's content.
