Is There An Easy Way To Do This?

I have a site with ~ 100 pages. There is little to no rhyme or reason to my internal linking structure.

I'm wondering if there is a tool that will easily show me which pages link to which pages.

I know I can use scrapebox to scrape all my URLs for the site, but is there some way to show me where each of those link to on the site?

        I realize this isn't the scrapebox support forum. However...

        I scraped all my links, ran the link extractor and it gives me the total number of internal links for each of my URLs. But what I can't figure out is how to get it to give me a list of which links those are.

        For example - index.html has 59 links. I want to know what those 59 links are.

          Hit the "show extracted links" button and it will give you a list of internal links on that page but it does not show anchors.

            When I do that it just gives me a list of all the links. For example, I highlight URL1, hit show extracted links and it gives me a list of 79 links. Same for URL2, URL3, etc. Even though all of those show different counts.

              Hhmm.. I don't know - I haven't used that addon for multiple pages but let me go and play around with SB and see if I can help!

                Thanks! I can do it one by one I suppose, but for 80 URLs that kind of sucks.

                  I think I know what the problem is: SB does not duplicate links, so if you have links in your sidebar and the same links are within your content - SB shows only one count for that link.

                  You might want to block the search engines from your site for a bit and remove your sidebar/footer and any other sitewide link and then run the extractor.

                  I don't know whether this will work but it's worth a try.

                    hmmm. Can't block search engines, that's where my traffic comes from!

                    I'll try to run them one at a time and see what happens. I do have a lot of site wide links though. Thanks for the help!

                      Works perfect for 1 URL at a time. Looks like a good job for the VA. All I know is my internal linking sucks. Off to research more about it now.
