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.

Should harmful links to your own website be removed?
Upon running a link report on a website, there are often multiple links flagged as bad or suspect that come from a blog that is integrated into the website, which means there are links (set up as article tags) in the site that go to other pages in the same site. They have likely been flagged due to their high frequency. A similar problem is occurring where blogs from a connected site (from an offshoot site of a company that is part of the original) are also tagging their blog posts to link into the original website. Should these links be disavowed? Will these links have an effect on the website if they are disavowed or not?

Thanks a lot for your help, Yafiz

Thoughts on using the disavow tool for removed links?
Our website has been penalized by Google for the past few months due to unnatural links. We have spent the past 2 months submitting link removal requests to the domain owners with success. However, the Google Webmaster Tools "links to site" has not updated the list. I understand that they update the list of links as they crawl the website, but it has been 6-8 weeks on a lot of them (mostly our biggest offenders). We attempted to send a reconsideration request anyways, hoping Google would see that even though it is still listed, the link isn't actually there. We received a response that it is still in violation, but I believe it is because the webmaster tools links have not updated and perhaps this is what they go off of. Would you recommend submitting these domains to the disavow tool even though our link has already been removed for the past 6-8 weeks? Or even just listing them with the "#" comment tag so they can see they had been removed? Or would you continue waiting for it to update? Of course, we would like the penalty removed as soon as possible and were concerned that the list hadn't removed these websites the past 6-8 weeks our link had been removed. Example: This domain shows we have 3,397 within this website. It was an affiliate that had this URL forwarding to our pages: http://www.binet.lv/go.pl?PID=49276714O2422 . This no longer forwards to our webpage and the affiliate has been expired, but the GWT still shows them at the top of the links list. I also noticed a lot of sites left the links up, but added the nofollow attribute. These are still coming up in the Links list and does not decipher between which do and do not have nofollow. Could the spammy sites with our links as nofollow still be hurting us? Thanks for any help and recommendations!

How best to link multiple related websites.
I have a handful of e-commerce websites that overlap each other some in the same niche. I have already heard that it would have been best to make just one website, but this is not practical for me. Our business model goes back to a time before the internet. We have relationships with manufacturers where they refer business to us because we brand web sites which will not switch customers to competing brands. Our agreements make it ok to link to other websites so long as we have branded websites that focus on the specific manufacturers. For SEO, what is the best way to link these sites? Site wide links in footers.? Single links at on homepages? One way links from the most powerful site? Some other method? We have been wrestling with this question for some time.

SEOs and web developers frequently leave links to their site in the footer of their clients' sites. Does this negatively impact the site with the links?
Does this provide any SEO value to the receiving site? Has anyone experienced problems doing this?

Different Link Titles Linking to the same page
So I'm doing a lot of link building but my question is how do search engines treat different link titles to the same page. For example, my main page is www.musillawfirm.com If I have 20 links from 20 sites linking to it as Melbourne FL DUI Lawyer and 20 more linking as Melbourne FL immigration Lawyer and More linking as Cocoa FL DUI lawyer etc... what happens? Do the search engines just rank me higher for all the terms or would it be better to always just link to separate landing pages? Thanks in advance
