Hi Jeremy,

I don't think you'll ever have "100%" of backlinks as every tool crawls different pieces of information.  Also, those numbers don't seem too crazy -- did you actually get a notification from GWT or just trying to be proactive?

Try using Screaming Frog. If you have less than 500 URLs on your site (or at least want to start with 500), it's free. Otherwise, it's about $150/yr for unlimited.

Enter your domain, and it crawls your site like Google. Each link/page crawled can show internal and external links and/or you can select  the "external" tab option and see what external sites are linking to your site in general.

Google "Screaming Frog crawler" to get more info on the tool. It's one of my favorite ways to get information on the performance of my site.

Possibly, but they might be shady. I just went to that casea.org site, and yes, it looks rather spammy. I'd just request to have all pages taken off, and take a screenshot of your email. You then can submit to google for reconsideration -- if they see you making an attempt they can remove you from their block.

Also, you might want to verify your sitemap + robots files are working correctly...the robots went to a compressed file which then just simply didn't work. The sitemap.xml file wasn't found so it just redirected back to the home page.

Lastly, If you do a site:longworthdental.ca search within google, you'll see that your site actually is being indexed by Google (67 pages). If you were panda/penguin slapped, it is my understanding no results would show. You might have just lost rankings on the keywords you were searching for.

Interesting; it may be worth checking out their more advanced options as part of what SF offers is a way to audit and check links. It's one of my preferred options.
