Is there any alternatives to Yahoo Site Explorer?

Hi,
Is there any alternatives to Yahoo Site Explorer?
I want to find backlinks of some unavailable pages and YSE was a great tool to deal with. But when I used tools like Open Site Explorer, ahrefs.com etc., I couldn't find one same like YSE. Because when I tried, it shows'No data available for this URL' where on YSE I found inbound links.
What Alternatives Are There?
thanks in advance!

Hi Sha Menz,
Exactly this is what I was thinking and looking to hear! Really happy to find this information. Now I can move forward, because I was doubtful whether I was right or not. thanks so much!

Hi Vipin,
Since you have all of the URLs in your robots.txt file (which incidentally is pointless since the pages are no longer there to crawl), I would suggest as follows:
-
Create a 301 (Permanent) redirect in your Windows Server's "Internet Services Manager" (since you have moved files to .aspx you will be using a Windows server)
Since you indicated that you "moved" the pages in question from html to aspx, I would expect that you should be able to redirect to corresponding pages.
If I were doing this in a LAMP system (not Windows) I use a single line of code to rewrite all .html extensions to .aspx as a 301 Redirect.
Logically, it should be possible to do the same on a windows server, but since ours is a LAMP Shop I can't offer specifics on that I'm afraid -
Once the redirects have been created, remove all of those URL's from the robots.txt file
Hope that helps,
Sha

Hi, thans so much! To understand it you should know a little more. Last year we removed my site's old html pages to .aspx pages and there after removing, all the html pages were added to robot.txt. But that time nobody taken care of backlink juice and for a redirection.
I never used MajesticSEO or Google/Bing's link: search operator. But use web analytics referral data. What more I must do to move forward?
Thanks.

What do you mean by "unavailable pages/pages that doesn't exist"? Are they returning an HTTP status of 404 NOT FOUND? Have you heard of or ever tried MajesticSEO (https://www.majesticseo.com/)? You can even try using Google/Bing's link: search operator but you won't be able to export the data like YSE. Lastly, have you tried looking in your web analytics referral data? Although it won't illustrate the number of links to the page, it'll give you an idea which links are driving traffic on what domain.

hi, this is not an error in copying or as you think. I have mentioned it, i need to find inbound links of pages that doesn't exist. In fact those pages are blocked using robot.txt. so no detail avail on google webmaster except robot.txt.

To be sure you should copy the link from the browser and insert it to Opensiteexplorer. By doing that you should'nt get "no data available". You probably got it wrong with or without the sub www.
I dont get all backlinks in Opensiteexplorer but I do get pretty much all domains with influense (bigger sites). another tool is google webmaster tools. That would give you all the backlinks witch has driven traffic to yur site.

New pages on my web site
I have created web sites that appear somewhere on Google in hardly any time at all, but I appear to have forgotten something or things are different for pages added recently to an existing website. I have added a page on a particular subject, optimized it using on page grader, so that I get an A, and a check mark for everything except H1 tags and rel=canonical which my web hosting provider does not support. I do have a check mark for accessible to search engines The page has the format http://www.domain.com/specific-keyword It is in the menu, so should have internal links to it, as I understand it. I have created a new site map, and submitted it in webmaster tools. Interestingly it says that of the 96 pages only 76 were indexed is this a clue? and why would they not index a page I have then shared the page on google plus, facebook, tumblr, pinterest and twitter and some others In OSE it comes up as domain authority 28 page authority 1, the social media shares do show up in metrics on the right but no links internal or external are shown, they do on other pages I created in the same way. Is it just a case of waiting or is their something I do to help thank you

SEO and page redirects from a high ranking site quandary
We are launching a site on a new domain that is taking the place of a group (subset) of pages in an existing domain. BUT The pages on the existing domain have really good SEO rankings in a very competitive category and we want to leverage the traffic it gets today in the best way, so.... Which of the following would be the best practice in this case (in regards to SEO)? Modify the existing pages' content so that there are prominent calls to action that lead the users to the new domain. Create permanent redirects for the existing pages for their counterparts on the new domain. This is more direct for the user but we don't know how it will affect the current ranking. Something other than the above. Many thanks for you help Gary

Automatically Check List of Sites For Links To Specific Domain
Hi all, Can anyone recommend a tool that will allow me to put in a list of about 200 domains that are then checked for a link back to a specific domain? I know I can do various link searches and use Google site: command on a site by site basis, but it would be much quicker if there was a tool that could take the list of domains I am expecting a link on and then find if that link exists and if so on what page etc. Hope this makes sense otherwise I have to spend a day doing it by hand - not fun! Thanks,

Backlink profile from Open Site Explorer does not seem to update
I have been monitoring our backlink profile on Open Site for over a year now and despite getting a number of new domains linking to us they are not reflected in the tool. Our URL is: www.BlueLinkERP.com Any thoughts on why this might be the case? The number of linking domains also seems very low compared with other tools we use (i.e. HubSpot)

Site Not Indexing & SEOMoz Reporting ZERO On-Page Report Crawls
Any help on this would be MUCH appreciated. One of my sites, aironeairsolutionsinc.com, has recently been rebuilt and the pages tweaked for some basic optimization. Based on my experience, those tweaks (geared toward keywords with relatively low competition locally) usually bump my local sites up into the top 20 or 30 at worst. 3 weeks later, it seems my site is still not indexing with Google. In addition, I AM NOTICING THAT THE ON PAGE REPORTS IN SEO MOZ ARE NOT REGISTERING THAT ANY PAGES ARE BEING CRAWLED. Again, any help from Moz staff would be awesome! :} Thanks, Ricky

Big changes in site titles
So as I pour though some of the diagnostics data for over 100,000 pages of my site I see thousands of page title that "could" be changed. Could this cause some lost traffic for a while due to the big changes?
