Cant get no satisfaction: Backlink tools leave me frustrated

[Nightwing]

Bonjour from  7°C Overcast Wetherby Uk,

I'm trying to get the backlink profile for a website that will tell me what inner pages are being linked too not just the home page but I'm not having any luck.

Ive used Link Diagnosis but that just gives me a total backlink count, no good, I need to know what inner pages are being linked too.

I then tried Yahoo Site Explorer but you can only use it know if you give them your mobile tel number for a windows live account, err no thanks!

Ive also used the Site Exploerer API here via the dashboard but again no luck again

So my question is please; "Is there a Tool I can use to see what deeper pages on a site have backlinks"

Thanks in advance,
David

The quickest way to do this is using the "Top Pages" report in Open Site Explorer.

Simply enter the root domain of the site you want to research, hit "search" then navigate to the Top Pages tab. This will show you the number of lining root domains to each internal page.

+1 For Doug's answer. You can download the standard Inbound Link report from OSE. Make sure to filter for "external" links to "all links on the root domain" (or subdomain)

Open your report in a spreadsheet, The "Target URL" column will show all the URLs on the domain with an external link pointing to them. Here's another screenshot:

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you use Open Site Explorer and select "pages on this subdomain" or "pages on this root domain"?

If you export to a csv file you can filter by the Target URL column.

Hi David,

Forgive me if this answer is totally wrong/simple.

Could you not click on the links for a certain page using the Moz toolbar? It gives the total site links but also an option to open up the OSE for that particular page. Problem would be that you have to get to the page first!
