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.

Internal Links - First Link Rule Confusion
Hello All - I would like to create a guide for my team of rules for internal links and I could use some help. My understanding is that Google only counts the first link to a page, so any crafted keyword text links within the content do not count if the page in question is linked to from the main navigation. Is this correct? For example, if the menu or drop down menu in main site nav (which exists on all pages of the site) includes a link to a particular section that will be the only one that ever counts since the menu is on every page? Example: let's say a website selling cat toys includes a drop down menu on the homepage with links to "holiday cat toys". Does this mean that no other text links in content on the site will support that page from an SEO perspective since the link is in the main nav and will always be the first one counted? In the past we have added text links in the content on the homepage to important pages on the site. It seems to work, though now I'm questing these tactics based on the first link rule. I would appreciate some advice, clarification, thoughts, etc. Thanks!

Webmaster Tools Links
Am new to SEO so please be kind. I am working on link building (amongst other things) and notice that Google Webmaster Tools displays different links (and with different values) than Open Site Explorer. Some high value links which show up on Webmaster do not appear on OSE and vice versa. Which is the most accurate?

Are you careful about linking back to sites that link to you?
Suppose that a trusted website added you to their recommended links page. Do you worry that linking back to them from a page on your site will diminish the value of the original link?

Page links vs. domain links
Hello all, I am trying to find out how Google weighs page inbound links vs. domain inbound links. I have a domain with about 100,000 inbound links and am adding a new page to my domain which at this time has 0 links. I will be trying to outrank a competitors page that has 6,000 inbound links to the competitors page, but only has 26,000 inbound links to my competitors domain . Is there a formula or a way to know how Google values a page link vs. a domain link?

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.
