Identify Site’s Most Linked-to Pages
Knowing most linked-to pages of a site is a must if you want to gain value by getting internal links from those most powerful pages. 2 tools allow you to find pages with most links back:
1. Find most powerful pages linked to externally: SEOmoz’s “Top Pages on Domain” – this tool returns the list of subpages sorting them by the number of domains linking back to them (many thanks to Richard Baxter describing this tool possible uses):

2. Find most powerful pages linked to internally: Xenu (I’ll never grow tired of describing how many possible SEO uses this tool has): for that sort the table by “Inlinks”:

And how would you use that data? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Identify your sites most linked-to pages #SEOtip http://is.gd/pl2g
#seotip Sage advice by @seosmarty http://tinyurl.com/dbuf3m regarding your linking strategy. Some good tools for doing some link analysis.
This is a very productive exercise, Ann. If you have registered your website with Google Webmaster Tools then you can get the same information. Another way to check a given web page is to use the Yahoo Link: search with the URL. Whichever method you use, it should influence how you may edit web pages to optimize search engine visibility for important pages. Thanks for triggering these thoughts.

Thanks, Ann!
I know that Xenu is a great tool.
But I have one question for you or someone who know.
Do you know some tools for search most PR’s pages on site?

Try using SEOquake extension. Turn it on and browse the site, click on “Pages” and sort there by PR.

I have the SEOQuake Plug-In installed, but I don’t see what you mean by the page browsing/sorting feature. How do you access that?

Open any page with SEOquake activated and see the section called ‘Links’ to the end. Try clicking it and you’ll see the list of both internal and external links.

I love to do is to compare the pages that have the most inbound links, then I re-optimize it, creating some new backlinks to other internal pages. This help me a lot with rankings.

I will agree with Mr Ricotta…I would check which of my pages has the most backlinks and then i would reoptimise that page by adding a few links towards other posts of mine so as to take advantage of the link juice…
On the other hand it would be useful to see which pages of yours don’t have many backlinks and if soem of them are important then you should build more backlinks…

Use SEOmoz for most sites, but they are really not that strong when it comes to smaller/new European sites.
Will try SEOquake
Link sculpting can be very complex.
Xenu tool is good for find broken links. Useful information with demo.
Thanks Ann!

Hey even backlinkwatch is very useful.
Google Webmaster Tools is another good one, as is doing a site: search with SEOQuake switched on.
Google Webmaster tools is perfect .. for your own sites, but to analyze other sites yahoo/excel works fine up to 1000 backlinks. Its free and will do the job.
