I need some help!

I have a client that wants me to get all of the links he has to his posts within a wordpress blog. He wants to create a master list and he has over 1,000 posts.

Is there a way to do this without having to go through each post manually???

UPDATE - I am looking to pull the URL of each post!!

Thanks for all your help,

Benjamin Ehinger

    You mean internal links or backlinks? Or do you mean just the URLs of the posts?

    I am looking to pull just the URL of the posts.

    Thanks,

    Hmm...

    How I'd do it:

    Step one would be to install Google XML Sitemaps. This would put all of the internal URL's on one page.

    For me, step two would be to use a data parser I have to pull/save the URL's, then a little manual tweaking to clean the list.

      How can I get a data parser? Are there any sites or places that might offer this as a service?

        You don't need a data parser. A simple notepad type program that can (1) find and replace stuff and (2) sort will do. I recommend Notetab Pro for that. It's free. With that program, a simple text editor, you can replace all the xml stuff you don't need with emptiness (like ""), and then sort the results in alphabetical order. You can also sort stuff in a spreadsheet.

    If you had some programming knowledge - the data parser can be easily coded yourself.. I've done something like this years ago

    Know any programmers? they can easily make a simple program to extract all those URL's

    Thank you to everybody that enlightened me here. I ended up copying all the data from the sitemap into Excel, then eliminating the columns I did not need. This gave me a nice and clean list of all the links to work with.

    Thank you,
