Is there a tool to find out our website's link in some other website?
-
sometimes we know our site link is there on a site but the site is so big its hard to search manually. Is there any tool which can crawl the whole site and find the page having our site link ?
though I know about OSE, and we can also see backlinks from webmaster tool. But still if you know any tool where instead of seeing the whole back link profile, we can add a specific url and see our site link in that url.

I found answer - its a Google command - xyz.com inurl:abc.com.
thanks guys

You would need a paid subscription of majestic to use this feature

Actually, bizarrely I had another thought on this last night while in bed.
If Google haven't yet indexed the site or you don't know the anchor text then perhaps use the free Xenu Link Sleuth crawler to go through the site. We used this fantastic little app while doing our Google Reconsideration Request when we wanted to find literally every page on a site that contained a link to us rather than just the ones in the Google index.

thanks Mark. I think Google method is not a very efficient one. Because when you use that command, Google gives many pages as result which has the anchor text (appearing in random order) in those pages. (In one case, its giving useless results where none of the pages has my site link. )

If you don't know the anchor text, but know the site is linking to you, you can also use a site crawler like screaming frog (the paid version), and in their custom section, you can give it your domain - when it crawls the site and finds the page with your domain in the code, it'll put that page in the custom crawl section. But this isn't super efficient if you need to crawl a large site to find a link - the Google method mentioned here is good when you know the anchor text and it's a specific one that won't show up on each page. If it's one that shows up across the site, the Google method won't work.

sounds good. though i cant find that feature on majestic seo

Thanks Chris!

Majestic SEO allows you to filter by URL - http://screencast.com/t/bN41auXnwrv
The method that Chris pointed out will only work if you know the anchor text of the link
-
The method Eliathah suggests is sound but an alternative would be to do a Google Search which returns matching results from a specific site only. This can be achieved by performing the following search from within the Google Search Box "site: <domain name=""><search text="">"</search></domain>
For example:
site:www.seomoz.org Vikas_Rana
Hope this helps.

thanks Eliathah, but If you read my qn, I mentioned I already know about Webmaster tools
-
Use Google Webmaster Tools.
Go to - Traffic>Links to your site
Download the table, and then just run a search for the site you are trying to find the link from.

Spammy Links in MOZ but when I go to the external link I can't find a link to us
I was going to try to contact webmasters to see if they would remove some of our spammy links. I see alot of them in MOZ but when you go to the site our anchor text is not there. Is this good? How often does MOZ refresh external links. Please see: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.totalvac.com None of the links for the anchor text <a class="clickable title link-pivot" title="See top linking pages that use this anchor text." data-text="vacuum cleaner parts vacuum parts vacuum bags vacuum cleaner bags" data-id="46391436859">vacuum cleaner parts vacuum part...</a> in MOZ exist? We got hit extremely hard by Penguin in May

Great idea to get back links in short order; however the links would be unrelated. . Is it worth the effort . BTW, it's a white hat method. Should I proceed?
I have come up with a very creative way to get some great back links using white hat methods. The problem is that the back links to the site would be to an interior page or external promotional website which then have links back to the main website. What kind of value for the main domain would this potentially achieve. What are peopLes thoughts on this idea?

Will redirecting 250 linking domains to a new website from an old website freak Google out?
Prior to my accepting a project, the client decided to change the name of their company and purchased a new domain name to match. They hired a designer to build their new company site which has now been up and running for a little under 12 months. Up to this point they have done a good job of slowly redirecting small handfuls of linking domains from the old site to the new. They want to make one last push and point the remaining 250 linking domains from their old site to their new site. Will redirecting 250 linking domains to a new website from an old website freak Google out? If so, how many domains should be redirected at one time? My main concern is not wanting to upset Google and see the floor fall out on current keyword rankings, domain authority and page rank, etc.
