Hey guys ok so, I want to share with you what I found using scrapebox, as well as explain exactly how I found it, so hopefully you can understand and do something like this yourself next time. I will explain to you exactly how I created the list, and provide the download link at the bottom of this post. So lets begin! What I will show you will essentially be a guide how to find backlinks from sites that dynamically generate links when your domain is in the url. A genre of these are statistics sites. The only tool I used for this is scrapebox
Intro: I stumbled upon a statistics site. So I used scrapebox, with a custom footprint of “site:statisticsite.com/stats/”. This scraped 1000 pages that were indexed at that site. I then used scrapebox’s PR checker, to find the most popular pages’ domains. Here is what that came up with:
7sur7.be
adobe.com
alistapart.com
apple.com
avaxhome.ws
cnet.net
drudgereport.com
ffffound.com
filehippo.com
flickr.com
friendster.com
gigazine.net
… (many more)

avaxhome.ws
cnet.net

ffffound.com
filehippo.com
flickr.com
friendster.com
gigazine.net
… (many more)
I now had a list of popular pages. And so I went on to the next step.
Step1: Using scrapebox, I harvested all the results for the following footprint: “-site:7sur7.be inurl:7sur7.be”, for every single one of the sites above. This resulted in over 120 K URLS.
Step2: I replaced all instances of each of the top domains with “testdomain.com”, so I changed 7sur7.be->testdomain.com, adobe.com->testdomain.com, …
Step3: I put all these new URLs into scrapebox, and removed duplicates. I was left with aroun 100K. I then ran the ‘alive checker’, which left about 80K URL’s.
Step4: I took this list, and ran scrapebox’s linkchecker for links to ‘testdomain.com’ on each of these pages. That took a while, and eventually I was left with 27k URL’s.
Step5: I then saved this list of URL’s, and replaced ‘testdomain.com’ with ‘{website}’, and saved it!
Step6: Now I created links to my domain using scrapebox’s “rapid indexer” and this list (which automatically pings these sites for you)
**I know that most of these are from groups of similar IP’s, just look through the list if it is good for you
Result? 6k Direct links, and 21k links to pages that don’t exist, on my domain! (maybe you could setup your 404 page to 301 redirect to your homepage of the domain you use this on, thus redirecting all the link juice that is sent to non-existant pages on your domain, to your domain (what do you think?)) And so there you have it, 27k backlinks all ready for you to use. Here is the list for you to download, so you don’t have to waste the time of finding it yourselves (its allot of bandwidth + time). I know I could have just shared the list, but I wanted everyone to understand how I got it. Anyways, here you go, enjoy:
