site: - This google operator can be used to see the number of indexed pages on your site (i.e.site:http://mastermindhacks.blogspot.com). Alternative it can also be used to search for information inside a specific site or class of sites.

link: - This google link operator allows you to find backlinks pointing to your site. Unfortunately the count is not updated frequently and not all backlinks are shown

allinurl: - Using this Google operator will limit the search to results that contain the desired keywords on the URL structure. (i.e. allinurl:dailyblogtips)

fileformat: - Useful Google operator for finding specific file formats. Sometimes you know that the information you are looking for is likely to be contained in a PDF document or on a PowerPoint presentation, for instance.
