How can I use Google analytics to find out exactly which webpages link to my site?

A J: How can I use Google analytics to find out exactly which webpages link to my site?
Google analytics by default only gives the domain that linked to your site in its referring sites section. I have heard there’s a way to get it to tell you exactly which specific web-pages link to you but I have been unable to activate this functionality. Any ideas…?

Hi,

Google analytics doesn’t show the referring pages by default.
But you can add advanced filter for your profile to see the referring pages. Note : Any changes you make in Google Analytics will only work with the statics data you get from now on. It won’t work retrospective.

1. click “Edit” next to your profile.
2. Click “Add Filter” next to “Filters applied to your profile”.
3. Type in a name for your filter (Referring Pages)
4. Select “Custom Filter” for the Filter Type. It will expand with more options.
5. Choose the “Advanced” Radio button. It will again expand.

Hello,

You can segment it to Traffic Sources> Referring Sites » Referring Site Detail » You will get the direct link to the referral page. Clicking on that will take you to the specific page.

Also, Using Google Analytics you can find the referring sites only. I.e, You can see the sites only when people clicked the link from their site to reach us.

If you are interested to know all the sites linking to your website you can follow the below options.
1, Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and there you can find all the sites linking to your domain.
2, use link operator in Google & Yahoo search to find the same.
ex. link:www.yourdomain.com

Hope it will help you.

The advice given so far is good but I think Google site maps might be better for the task at hand.

You can not use Google analytics to find out which webpages link to your site, it only shows the clicks attributed trough these pages, If you want to look at which webpages link to your site then you should use Yahoo site Explorer or google webmaster tools
