How do I know which page a link is from

[VinceWicks]

I've got an interesting situation. I hope you can help.

I have a list of links but I'm not  sure which pages of my site they are from. How do I know which page a specific link is  from?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vince,

Just to clarify, I'm thinking that perhaps the list of links may be 404 (or similar) errors that you want to fix?

If I am correct, and you have found the list of broken links in the SEOmoz Pro App, then you can locate the source URL's by exporting the error report as a csv, then looking at the information in Excel. If you locate the error in the list (by searching), then go to the very last column "Referrer" to find the source page.

Below is a screenshot of the Pro Tip from the help file, which is located on the Crawl Diagnostics help page

Of course, if my assumption is incorrect, then we just need you to be a little more specific about where the list came from and what you are wanting to achieve.

Hope that helps,

Sha

From another post I answered

"Maybe XPATH and PHP could get this? I'll point you at this - http://www.css-resources.com/list-a-websites-external-links-alphabetically-using-xpath-and-php.html - but don't ask me how to do it ;)"

Maybe ask Richard here - http://www.seomoz.org/q/list-of-links-pointing-out-of-my-site - and see if he found a way
