          Hello Effect Digital,

          It worked!

          Thank you for sharing AND taking the time to create such detailed instructions.

          It is very much appreciated!

            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.

                    For some reason, about a week ago, my clients website nolonger appears on the moz analysis tool ( www.movietrailersarea.org ) which it previously was. now i get the error "Bummer! No data found for this domain" and now nearly all traffic has also depleted.
                    site is still indexed by google & robots isnt blocking any crawlers.
                    any idea?

                    Search volume discrepancies between keyword tools

                    I'm feeling like I'm basing all my research time on tools that I cannot necessarily trust. Between Google keyword planner, Keywords everywhere chrome extension, and Moz keyword explorer, I'm getting wildly different results on 2 simple keywords related to colleges with baking & pastry arts degrees. "baking college", "baking colleges" So Keyword planner won't give me any search volume for those 2 words, I don't even see them in the results. Instead, it decides I really meant "baker college" which has 33,100 global searches. I tried telling it use only closely related terms, but it keeps giving me "baker college" and refuses to show me the terms I asked for. Stubbornly useless. Keywords everywhere says both of these keywords bring in 33,100 searches. It does not tell me those searches were for "baker college." Totally misleading. Moz keyword explorer says baking college as 0-10 volume, baking colleges has 101-200 volume. So at least it's not trying to give me "baker college" numbers. Perhaps I can trust this, but it's not convenient to upload hundreds of various keywords at a time to pull the volume numbers like I do with the other tools. With Keyword planner making assumptions and grouping unrelated terms together, and Keywords everywhere using those numbers without pointing out the assumptions, I feel like I can't trust anything without taking time to dig into the discrepancies, which is impossible with hundreds of keywords. Do you know of any good search volume tools that don't force or hide assumptions? Thanks.

                    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?
