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.

Disavow Links - how do you know if it's worked?
I asked another SEO company to analysis my link structure (as I was too busy!) As I was flat lining on some work I was doing. They said I potentially had an algo penalty and that i need to do a disavow , even though I had no messages from Google saying I had unnatural links. stupidly I agreed to the disavow. Looking at Webmasters tools it seems they've submitted a bunch of links. Since they've done this traffic dropped by 60%, ranking dropped massively. In google Webmasters all the links which are meant to be removed are still showing. How do I know if the actual disavow has been done? And should I do a reconsideration request? Even though Google hadn't flagged an issue ??

Poor Blog and Website DA and links
Hi There We have a mature website and a mature blog with over 500 genuine blogs written on it over 4 years. In terms of actual "people" value it has to be high. We used to get 1000 visitors per day, we now get 300. We still have 850 subscribers so its of a certain size. However we have been hit by the Penguin/Panda updates and our DA has dropped to what everyone is telling us is too low for a site like this and we still have a google backlink problem, unyet we only have 190 external links that we think are all OK now. The problem we have is that we seem to have too many links from the blog to the main website with the same anchor text. This has occurred with a blogroll style link to the home page which appears on every post/page of the blog, also I think we have too many anchor same anchor text links to product pages (Motorola ES400) and category pages (Tablet PC). We're going through changing these now so that we have the right mix but the specific questions I wanted to ask were: 1. Will loads of links with the same anchor text affect us if the blog is counted as internal links. Its on the same "blog" sub-domain as the main website. 2. Will this affect the DA of both sites? 3. Is Wordpress capable of damaging us with all the extra pages it creates automatically. We've done nothing but genuine content posting here and i'm sure we can get it back but it kind of really demotivates you when 2/3rds of your traffic goes overnight. Many thanks for any help.

Greetings! Actually, got an doubt on linking to external site. The thing, i have working for roof marketers site. They have covered roof products. Each of the products have a page along with major keyword. Actually, i do link from other pages[internally]. Meaning,if i see any main keywords in different page then will link that to corresponding page/product[internally].This is what i am doing to get page rank. Now, my doubt. Some of the pages are having link with main keywords which directs to the third party site those who are really producing the products. But, i remove the third party-link which has with main keywords. Since already the site/my client site having pages for that main keywords. But client really want that link. meaning the links which they have given to direct to third party[product producer] site. So what should i do at this case. Can i just past RAW link like [http://www.thirdpartysite.com] or what do i do. But my client wants that link to be in content area. Hope you would understand my long explanation and case Please help us. Thank you

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?

Total Links vs Ext. Followed Links
Hi I'm fairly new to SEO and SEOMOZ. I've created a campaign for my own site and I've added 3 competitor sites. There are 1,385 total links to my site and a massive 49,450 links to one of my competitor's site. However under "Ext. Followed Links", there are 1,045 to my site and only 911 to the same competitor site. Am I correct that it is the "Ext. Followed Links" which are more important from an SEO point of view as the other links have the "no follow" attribute set? Or have I got this wrong? Thanks James
