[...] Back in 2008, when I was doing my very first guest post for SEJ, I got so excited that decided to find a prettier way to share my guest post with my personal blog audience. So I came up with the short but pretty (and surprisingly well-branded) presentation to embed to my blog: [...]

Ann,

You’re right. I was confusing intitle with allintitle.

I just did a little google search for these two terms and found out the differences.

Thanks for your help!

@Greg, actually google does allow to search both intitle: and inanchor:

Look: http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=intitle%3Aseo+inanchor%3Aseo

You might be confusing that with allinanchor: and allintitle: queries – these two are exclusive (meaning they don’t work together with any other search operator)

Ann, Would you kindly share your favorite method for producing a total of sites that have the keyword I’m researching in both intitle and inanchor?

Google allows these commands to be used individually, but not together, so I can get a list of URLs that have my keyword intitle, and a second list that have my keyword inanchor, but I cannot directly produce a list of sites that have both.

Do you like to produce both of these lists, place them in Excel, and then do a clever manipulation to see which sites appear in both lists? If so, will you share how you do this? Even just a little hint in these comments will be enough to get me started, so if you would do that I would be grateful.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

@Ann – thanks for the response!

Truth be told, it’s an issue of resources – namely time.

@Hannah, I’d still use both to get the full picture.

Hey Ann, great post, and still quite relevant, although a bit old. Here’s a question for you: do you think that aggregating intitle: and inanchor: data separately add value to competitor research? If what we’re looking for is the competition, the only real “competition” is inanchor:”-” intitle:”-”, correct?
