How do you find out who you're linking to?

[instaunt]

I'm looking for some spider software to crawl our site and tell me all our outbound links. I've been trying to find one, but can only find ones that search for broken links ... which was helpful, but I want to check our outbounds too.

Any tips?

Thanks
Mike

How about a link to your site?

[jalarie]

I may have something usefull to you. How many pages at your site? What is the URL?

[instaunt]

Over 100,000 pages. It's a directory.

At that page, I found 27 external (http:...) links, two of which were incomplete, and an internal link that led to 81 more external links:

There must be a web page in that directory. The spider would read that page, and crawl to other pages, and then to other pages, .... How about a link to that one page?

[oasire]

Thanks for the suggestion! Much appreciated!

[RobertWoges]

SEOMOZ ? do you think it shows the exact pages .Why dont you try webmaster tools .

[nazirbhatt]

You can use seoquake. It is a add-one which will be easily installed in your browsers like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Then you will be able to check the outbound links of your website in a easy manner.

[lyndawass]

If you want see your site's linking URL then go on www.backlinkchecker.com

[Engagedots]

How about seomoz ?
