What tools produce a complete list of all URLs for 301 redirects?

[Adrian_Kingwell]

I am project managing the rebuild of a major corporate website and need to set up 301 redirects from the old pages to the new ones. The problem is that the old site sits on multiple CMS platforms so there is no way I can get a list of pages from the old CMS. Is there a good tool out there that will crawl through all the sites and produce a nice spreadsheet with all the URLs on it? Somebody mentioned Xenu but I have never used it. Any recommendations? Thanks -Adrian

xenu linksleuth is the answer to your question. Good luck. Nothing better I am aware of.

There actually many tools which could do the job, both free and paid.

1. Xenu Link Sleuth - free, available at http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

2. Screaming Frog - free (limited)/paid, available at http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/

3. A1 Website Analyzer - paid, but with a fully functional trial, available at http://www.pendragonexpress.com/hop/a1

4. LinkExaminer - free, available at http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Network/lnkexam/Freeware.htm

5. Search Engine Optimization Toolkit - free, available at http://www.iis.net/download/seotoolkit

If you just need a crawl, I would recommend 1, 4 or 5. They are both free and work fast.  If you want to optimize your content, 5 is a powerhouse.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Marcin and Robert. I will definitely give Xenu Link Sleuth a try first. The Search Engine Optimization Toolkit does look quite awesome though. Thanks for your help.  - Adrian
