          Hi Robert!

          Thanks so much for the great question! Unfortunately we do not currently have a tool that will search your site for the instance of a specific URL. I'm so sorry about that! I will be sure to pass this on to our team, though, as a feature request.

          Within Moz you can use the Site Crawl tool within Campaigns to see the referring URL for a specific internal page (but it will not show you all the instances of that URL on the site) or Link Explorer to see external links pointing to a specific page on your site.

          If you have any other questions about this or need anything else, please feel free to reach out to help@moz.com! 😄

            You can use Screaming Frog to do this

            Crawl the whole site, then once it's done save the crawl file (File->Save) so you don't lose the project (important, in-case you accidentally export the wrong thing - you can load it back up again!)

            Then go: Bulk Export->All Outlinks

            That will get you the data you need. It will list all the links on the site, including links to resources (as long as your crawl settings are right, it can be somewhat of a learning curve - if for example you neglect to even crawl pages blocked by Robots.txt, if you neglect to crawl links inside of CSS or if you don't use the JS crawling method correctly you might miss stuff)

            The spreadsheet will contain loads of columns containing data on the links. One will show you the referring page / source URL, the other will show you the link target / destination. On the link destination column, filter by your desired URL (which in this case would contain /image-name.jpg or similar)

            Once that's done, on the left you'll see all the referring URLs. Sorted!

            If the data which is created by Screaming Frog is too large to be analysed in Excel you can export to CSV instead of XLSX. You can then proceed to:

            a) Upload it to a local MySQL database for analysis with MySQL queries

            b) Use a big-data CSV manipulation tool, like Delimit instead to narrow the data down. Once it's narrow, re-save and then analyse in Excel


            Problem solved!

              Hello Robert,

              Good luck with that, I'm not aware of a tool that would do that specific type of reporting. I've only ever done that in the past using an HTML editor.

                  Moz Keyword Tool Monthly Volume

                  Ive recently put together a Keyword List of about 100 keywords on the Moz Keyword Explorer tool. One keyword, aerial filming, stood out as very low search volume of 51 - 100. I took the same 100 keywords and passed them through the Google Keyword Planner by Google AdWords. Aerial Filming has an average search volume of 1k - 10k according to the Keyword Planner. Even though Keyword Planner gives me a range of 1k - 10k, the lowest number is still 10 times higher than what the Moz Keyword Explorer was indicating. This drastic difference of volume was consistent across all 100 keywords. All of the Monthly Volume numbers were divided by 10. Why does Moz Keyword Tool display a search volume that is 10x less than what Google Keyword Planner is suggesting?

                  Only One Canonical URL Tag

                  HI, I'm an SEO novice - company owner with no money so doing it all myself with help from my web designer using wordpress.  Ive just completed some seo and done the moz page scoring analysis for optimisation and gained 92% - however - there is one outstanding issue on canonical url tags - i.e. recommened fix = The canonical URL tag is intended to refer duplicate pages to a single canonical URL. To ensure the search engines properly parse the canonical source, your page should use only one version of this tag in the header. See Canonical URL Tag - the Most Important Advancement in SEO Practices Since Sitemaps Ive gone through the page code and can see I have 2 rel=canonical references - am I able to simply delete one - how do I do this if its been created by the yoast/wordpress plug-in? Many thanks in advance for any help!

                  How to find a list of pages with missing H1 tags

                  An external SEO/PPC agency did an audit of our site a little while back and said that over 10% of our pages were missing an H1 tag. I am trying to find a way to gather a full list of these in order for our web company to fix. I downloaded the Crawl Test report thinking it would include info on tags in there but it doesn't seem to. Is there a different tool I can use that will get me this information?

                  URL Link Counts

                  Hi Can someone clarify what the URL link counts in the SERP report means? Is this total internal links on this page? My followed internal links are very high compared with sites I am comparing against, some sites only have 1 internal followed link - is this possible? Have they simply no followed all the rest on that page?

                  Moz crawler only crawls one page?!

                  Hello there, I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled. We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working. Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jeremy

                  How to find all 301 redirect for URL xyz.com/products (internal and external)?

                  This is what we are thinking: Get all URL of the xyz.com/products using XENU software. Search  those URL on google (site;xyz.com url ) to find out if they are crawled by google, do the same on bing (as currently google shows 4k URL and bing 11k ) Use opensiteexplorer (301 redirect ) and using (internal external) to get the desired result. Is this the right approach? If not, what is the best way to find the correct result? All suggestions are welcome.

                  Hello, I have a contact form which generates thousands of duplicate crawl errors. I'm going to use  to block Google indexing these pages. Will this also block MOZ from crawling these pages and displaying the error? Thanks!
