How to trace back a link from a 404 error?

[AtoZion]

How do I find the link that is still refferring to a 404 error? Somewhere on my site there is a link pointing to an un-usable page and I cant find where that link is to fix the 404 error. I could just delete the page all together, but I would like to find the problematic link first.

You got analytics on it? Can you see what the referral pages to it are?

Alternatively if you run Xenu - http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html - you should get a report with what pages link to the broken page.

In the PRO Web App, the CSV export of your crawl includes the list of sources for all 404s/500s/etc. that can help. You'll also find these in Google Webmaster Tools for your site.
