How do I search for a link within a competitors website that is linking my website?

Hello,

I have just been checking my link profile and according to webmaster tools a competitor is linking to my website. Is there anyway of finding this link besides looking at every page within their website?

Many thanks

In Google: site:competitorsite.com yoursite.com

In screaming frog: set custom as your yoursite.com and crawl the competitor's site, then under the custom tab should be any links that refer to your site.

What I find frustrating sometimes is that I'll go to look at the page where the link is supposed to be and it's not there. Crawlers don't update in real time, I'm afraid...

Hi Mary,

If you are referring to Google Webmaster Tools, you should be able to find your competitor's website under Search Traffic > Links to Your Site > Who Links the most

When you've located your competitor's website in this list, click on it and it will prompt an overview page that shows you total links and total linked pages. Under Your Pages,select one of your web pages and you'll be able to view all of your competitor's pages that include links to your website. You'll have to locate the link on your competitor's pages but at least this narrows it down for you.

Hope that helps

Did you put your website in Open Site Explorer and see if that link can be seen there? That will give you the information you want. If you don't see it there, you can try a google site search— site:yourcompetitor.com yoursite.com and see if that turns up the link.
