Well, if you click on "advanced search", you get the option to search
for links to a given URL, and the results page shows "link:URL" as the
search.

Well, I admit that I didn't browse the site.  Rather, I did a search for
"powered by", figuring that it would take me straight to any page with
"powered by" logos.

     http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Afileproplus.com+%22powered+by%22

Some browsing shows that it's linked at least on the "points of interest"
list at:

     http://www.fptech.com/search.shtml

     (It's "corporate logos".)

Given that Google claims that nothing links to it, nor to any of numerous
other fptech.com pages that I got to by clicking links, I can't state how
many other links there may be to that page.
