      Hi,

      I recently deleted some pages from my website and believe that there will be external inbound links pointing to these pages.

      I would like to find them and put redirects in place - can anybody tell me how to use SEOMOZ to find where external links are poiting to moved/deleted pages

      Thanks

        I believe you should be able to see in the crawl diagnostics sections. Look for any 4xx (404) errors, this will indicate missing pages. Although I think you cna use Google Webmaster Tools and use the crawl diagnostics section which gives you a list of referring inbound links to the missing pages.

        Of course the first thing you should do though is generate 301 redirects from the deleted pages to another page you want the inbound links pointed at.
