Trying to find all internal links to a specific page (without index)
-
Hi guys --
Still waiting on Moz to index a page of mine. We launched a new site over two months ago.
In the meantime, I really just need a list of internal links to a specific page because I want to change its URL. Does anybody know how to find that list (of internal links to 1 of my pages) without the Moz index?
I appreciate the help!

@marchexmarketingmcc intelligible results from Google tools is never to be expected.

Hi! You can use Screaming Frog and Google Search Console, as it is mentioned in this article: https://rush-analytics.com/blog/find-all-pages-on-website
Also, they've mentioned their own tool, but I haven't tried it yet. -
You can make complete Crawl of your webpage with Screaming Frog. If the number of pages is not large. You can check the internal Links and export it. With Pivot tables you can identify all pages which link to a specific page.
-
If you have a new page that replaces an out of date one. Maybe you'd be better off putting a 301 redirect in place.?

Screaming Frog

My answer is outdated, now it works like this:
- Go to Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools) and chose the site you want.
- On the left-hand menu, select LINKS, there you can also see your sites Internal links.

@sceorily Yes my answer is more than 4 years old...
now the link in the Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools) is called LINKS. There you can also see your sites Internal links.
The asteriks were wrong formatting from my side I guess.

If you are wanting to find all internal links on a specific page on your website. You can follow these steps in Ahref webmaster tool:
- Enter your website URL in Site Explorer
- Then, Click on Internal Backlinks - Where you can see all internal backlinks of specific page of your website.
I hope this helps!

@cesare-marchetti Hi there. As Moz has reminded me just now, it's almost 2022. I'm afraid your instruction appears to be out of date. Google has moved the Search box, and I find no "Traffic" link. By the way, are the ** (asterisks) supposed to be included in the search string? I tried with and without, no intelligible results.
Then again, intelligible results from Google tools is never to be expected.
I'll keep trying. But this is like throwing darts blindfolded, and not even knowing which direction the dartboard is.

Download XENU - http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html - run a crawl of your site and right click the properties of any page to see all internal links linking to that page.
-
Simple enough. Thanks Cesare.

Hi, you can use Search Console (Webmaster Tools) for that and see a list of internal links for your website as follows:
- On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
- On the left-hand menu, click **Search **Traffic, and then click Internal Links.
Cheers,
Cesare

Best way to link to multiple location pages
I am a Magician and have multiple location pages for each county I cover. I currently have them linked off the menu under locations/ <county>and also in the footer</county> However I have heard that a link from the page is much stronger, so I am experimenting with removing the Menu & Footer link and just linking to these pages from within the content. It's not really a navigation item and most people come in through search to the right page. Am I diluting the link by having it in the Menu/Page and Footer? I read a long time ago that Google only considers the first link to a page and ignores the rest - is that the case? Thanks Roger https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/

Find all external 404 errors/links?
Hi All, We have recently discovered a site was linking to our site but it was linking to an incorrect url, resulting in a 404 error. We had only found this by pure chance and wondered if there was a tool out there that will tell us when a site is linking to an incorrect url on our site? Thanks 🙂

Upgrade old sitemap to a new sitemap index. How to do without danger ?
Hi MOZ users and friends. I have a website that have a php template developed by ourselves, and a wordpress blog in /blog/ subdirectory. Actually we have a sitemap.xml file in the root domain where are all the subsections and blog's posts. We upgrade manually the sitemap, once a month, adding the new posts created in the blog. I want to automate this process , so i created a sitemap index with two sitemaps inside it. One is the old sitemap without the blog's posts and a new one created with "Google XML Sitemap" wordpress plugin, inside the /blog/ subdirectory. That is, in the sitemap_index.xml file i have: Domain.com/sitemap.xml (old sitemap after remove blog posts urls) Domain.com/blog/sitemap.xml (auto-updatable sitemap create with Google XML plugin) Now i have to submit this sitemap index to Google Search Console, but i want to be completely sure about how to do this. I think that the only that i have to do is delete the old sitemap on Search Console and upload the new sitemap index, is it ok ?

Will Google Recrawl an Indexed URL Which is No Longer Internally Linked?
We accidentally introduced Google to our incomplete site. The end result: thousands of pages indexed which return nothing but a "Sorry, no results" page. I know there are many ways to go about this, but the sheer number of pages makes it frustrating. Ideally, in the interim, I'd love to 404 the offending pages and allow Google to recrawl them, realize they're dead, and begin removing them from the index. Unfortunately, we've removed the initial internal links that lead to this premature indexation from our site. So my question is, will Google revisit these pages based on their own records (as in, this page is indexed, let's go check it out again!), or will they only revisit them by following along a current site structure? We are signed up with WMT if that helps.

Sitemap indexed pages dropping
About a month ago I noticed my pages indexed from my sitemap are dropping.There are 134 pages in my sitemap and only 11 are indexed. It used to be 117 pages and just died off quickly. I still seem to be getting consistant search traffic but I'm just not sure whats causing this. There are no warnings or manual actions required in GWT that I can find.

How to find all crawlable links on a particular page?
Hi! This might sound like a newbie question, but I'm trying to find all crawlable links (that google bot sees), on a particular page of my website. I'm trying to use screaming frog, but that gives me all the links on that particular page, AND all subsequent pages in the given sub-directory. What I want is ONLY the crawlable links pointing away from a particular page. What is the best way to go about this? Thanks in advance.

International Site Links In Footer
We have several international sites and we have them linked in the footer of our main .com site . Should we add "nofollow" to these links? Our concern is that Google could see these sites as a network?
