Greetings, luckyali!

You can find this out using "link" or "links" command:  
 
link : answers.google.com   
://www.google.com/search?q=link+%3A+answers.google.com 
 
links : answers.google.com   
://www.google.com/search?q=links+%3A+answers.google.com 
 
Oddly, results using the command "link :" differ slightly from those
using the command "links :" -- just another "endearing" Google quirk.

 
*** HOWEVER *** 

We gets lots of questions from website owners wanting to know why this
method won't show that any pages link to their website, even though
they KNOW for a fact that such pages exist.
 
Because of Google's secrecy, it is not known for absolute certain, but
the general consensus among experienced webmasters who have
extensively studied Google's "backward links" function pretty much
agree that if a URL has a Page Rank less than 4, the link: function
will not work, and that if it has a Page Rank of 4 or higher, the
link: function will only return pages with a Rank of 4 or higher:
  
From Senior Forum Member "Beachboy" at WebmasterWorld:    
"Your index page is PR3, Google won't show any inbound links unless
the page you're doing the query on is PR4 or greater."
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/4784.htm?highlight=inbound+links+higher
    
From Senior Forum Member "Birdman" at WebmasterWorld:    
"It is thought that Google only shows backlinks from pages that have a
pr4 or higher."
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/7309.htm?highlight=inbound+links+higher
 
 
For this reason, you may want to search for pages that link to your
site by simply entering the URL into the Google Search box:
 
------------------------------------------------------------  
Web2sites features gifts, flowers, freebies, books, toys, web ... 
Welcome to Web2sites.com. ... 

Google can show you the following information for this URL:

Show Google's cache of www.web2sites.com 
Find web pages that are similar to www.web2sites.com 
Find web pages that link to www.web2sites.com 
Find web pages that contain the term "www.web2sites.com"
------------------------------------------------------------  
://www.google.com/search?q=www.web2sites.com 

Clicking on the "contain the term" link will show you pages that link
to you REGARDLESS of their Page Rank. This is especially useful while
you are trying to work your site's Page Rank up to a PR4, since using
the link: / links: command will not show you your backward links if
your PR is less than 4.
 
You can read more about the "Backward Links" functionality here:

Another good place to look is AllTheWeb 
http://www.alltheweb.com
Enter  www.web2sites.com  in the Search Text box and click "Search"
Then click on:
"Find all 16 external web pages that link to www.web2sites.com"
http://www.alltheweb.com/search?q=%2Blink.all%3Awww.web2sites.com+-site%3Aweb2sites.com

I hope that this Answer provides exactly the information that you
needed!
