      sometimes we know our site link is there on a site but the site is so big its hard to search manually. Is there any tool which can crawl the whole site and find the page having our site link ?

      though I know about OSE, and we can also see backlinks from webmaster tool. But still if you know any tool where instead of seeing the whole back link profile, we can add a specific url and see our site link in that url.

        Use Google Webmaster Tools.

        Go to - Traffic>Links to your site

        Download the table, and then just run a search for the site you are trying to find the link from.

          thanks Eliathah, but If you read my qn, I mentioned I already know about Webmaster tools 🙂

            The method Eliathah suggests is sound but an alternative would be to do a Google Search which returns matching results from a specific site only.  This can be achieved by performing the following search from within the Google Search Box "site: <domain name=""><search text="">"</search></domain>

            For example:

            site:www.seomoz.org Vikas_Rana

            Hope this helps.

              Majestic SEO allows you to filter by URL - http://screencast.com/t/bN41auXnwrv

              The method that Chris pointed out will only work if you know the anchor text of the link

                    If you don't know the anchor text, but know the site is linking to you, you can also use a site crawler like screaming frog (the paid version), and in their custom section, you can give it your domain - when it crawls the site and finds the page with your domain in the code, it'll put that page in the custom crawl section. But this isn't super efficient if you need to crawl a large site to find a link - the Google method mentioned here is good when you know the anchor text and it's a specific one that won't show up on each page. If it's one that shows up across the site, the Google method won't work.

                      thanks Mark. I think Google method is not a very efficient one. Because when you use that command, Google gives many pages as result which has the anchor text (appearing in random order) in those pages. (In one case, its giving useless results where none of the pages has my site link. )

                        Actually, bizarrely I had another thought on this last night while in bed.

                        If Google haven't yet indexed the site or you don't know the anchor text then perhaps use the free Xenu Link Sleuth crawler to go through the site.  We used this fantastic little app while doing our Google Reconsideration Request when we wanted to find literally every page on a site that contained a link to us rather than just the ones in the Google index.

                          You would need a paid subscription of majestic to use this feature
