              Hello Effect Digital,

                Hi Robert!

                Thanks so much for the great question! Unfortunately we do not currently have a tool that will search your site for the instance of a specific URL. I'm so sorry about that! I will be sure to pass this on to our team, though, as a feature request.

                Within Moz you can use the Site Crawl tool within Campaigns to see the referring URL for a specific internal page (but it will not show you all the instances of that URL on the site) or Link Explorer to see external links pointing to a specific page on your site.

                If you have any other questions about this or need anything else, please feel free to reach out to [email protected]! 😄

                  You can use Screaming Frog to do this

                  Crawl the whole site, then once it's done save the crawl file (File->Save) so you don't lose the project (important, in-case you accidentally export the wrong thing - you can load it back up again!)

                  Then go: Bulk Export->All Outlinks

                  That will get you the data you need. It will list all the links on the site, including links to resources (as long as your crawl settings are right, it can be somewhat of a learning curve - if for example you neglect to even crawl pages blocked by Robots.txt, if you neglect to crawl links inside of CSS or if you don't use the JS crawling method correctly you might miss stuff)

                  The spreadsheet will contain loads of columns containing data on the links. One will show you the referring page / source URL, the other will show you the link target / destination. On the link destination column, filter by your desired URL (which in this case would contain /image-name.jpg or similar)

                  Once that's done, on the left you'll see all the referring URLs. Sorted!

                  If the data which is created by Screaming Frog is too large to be analysed in Excel you can export to CSV instead of XLSX. You can then proceed to:

                  a) Upload it to a local MySQL database for analysis with MySQL queries

                  b) Use a big-data CSV manipulation tool, like Delimit instead to narrow the data down. Once it's narrow, re-save and then analyse in Excel


                  Problem solved!

                    Hello Robert,

                    Good luck with that, I'm not aware of a tool that would do that specific type of reporting. I've only ever done that in the past using an HTML editor.

                        Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

                        Only One Canonical URL Tag

                        HI, I'm an SEO novice - company owner with no money so doing it all myself with help from my web designer using wordpress.  Ive just completed some seo and done the moz page scoring analysis for optimisation and gained 92% - however - there is one outstanding issue on canonical url tags - i.e. recommened fix = The canonical URL tag is intended to refer duplicate pages to a single canonical URL. To ensure the search engines properly parse the canonical source, your page should use only one version of this tag in the header. See Canonical URL Tag - the Most Important Advancement in SEO Practices Since Sitemaps Ive gone through the page code and can see I have 2 rel=canonical references - am I able to simply delete one - how do I do this if its been created by the yoast/wordpress plug-in? Many thanks in advance for any help!

                        URL Link Counts

                        Hi Can someone clarify what the URL link counts in the SERP report means? Is this total internal links on this page? My followed internal links are very high compared with sites I am comparing against, some sites only have 1 internal followed link - is this possible? Have they simply no followed all the rest on that page?

                        Duplicate Page and Title Issues

                        On the last crawl, we received errors for duplicate page titles and some duplicate content pages. Here is the issue: We went through our page titles that were marked as duplicate and changed them to make sure their titles were different. However, we just received a new crawl this week and it is saying there are even more duplicate page title errors detected than before. We're wondering if this is a problem with just us or if it has been happening to other Moz users. As for the duplicate content pages, what is the best way to approach this and see what content is being looked at as a "duplicate" set?
