    Hit Ctrl A if on PC or Cmnd A if on Mac. That may highlight any links that are hiding in the background. Or, if you download the Moz toolbar there is a highlighter tool on there that will highlight links. Or, finally you could view the page source and do a Ctrl F (PC) or Cmnd F (Mac) and search for "a href"

      I doubt that tool would work for hidden base64 links because they usually don't show up in the live HTML source code.

      Right click on the webpage then Click on View Page Source... Look for < a href="links here" >text here...

      You may copy the text on the page source and paste them on word, you can easily see the links that activated in blue texts...

        What if the site has 50,000 pages?

        Not a very practical suggestion.

    What I always do is right click on a site to view page source (Website coding) and then press Control + F to find anything that starts with http:// or ends in .com

      If someone has such a huge site they should be able to make a script, or outsource the work. It's not hard to check for these kinds of links with a bit of regex. Hook that to something that traverses through your site.

      Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
      Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

      What's your excuse?
