The query format really depends on the tool you are using to check the link popularity. Both Yahoo! and Google offer a way to get an accurate list of inbound link from their webmaster console.

Yahoo calls it Site Explorer, Google offers Google Webmasters Tools. With Google, you can also use the link: operator, but it is known to offer an approximate number of results.

The most affordable tool in this area is probably Majestic SEO. It offers an accurate database of links you can search to get many interesting link analysis.
