I am sure some of you are excellent coders and build their own software to do everything on the web. But I also know that a big portion of you have no experience in coding. And here I am talking about coding that will help you do things faster, easier and smarter.

So, in order to help the ones with little knowledge of programming, I will be sharing some small applications time to time(for free of course), that I personally use in my own marketing efforts.

The first application that I am sharing is a simple software that will help you reduce the time you spend on

  • checking URLs (if they are live or dead)
  • checking your backlinks pages
  • going over SEO reports you get from SEO services

It is quite simple but it will save you a lot of time if you are doing any of the above tasks repeatedly every day. You can see a screenshot of it below:

How It Works

First of all, no installation is required. You directly download and use it as is.

You simply copy the list of URLs you want to work on, either from a text file or a spreadsheet like Excel and paste it into the second empty box on the left side where it says "Add URL List". The list will be automatically updated on the upper box and when you click on the "Next" button, the browser will directly go to that page. And you hit the "Next" button to go to the next page on the list once you are done inspecting the current page.

Additionally, if you enter a keyword into the "Search for Keyword" box, the keywords on the page will be highlighted so that you can see your backlinks with the keyword as anchor text.

You can download it by clicking the link below for free. No opt in required.

URL & Backlink Checker

Any feedback and questions are welcome. Please let me know if you can think of any improvements that I can add to this application. Also, you can tell me about any software ideas which will simplify your online or offline tasks and I will see if I can make it real.

Thanks for posting this ademedda! Been looking for something that does this.
 
Hi,

Your little application would have come in very handy a couple of days ago. I had to check through a whole bunch of links and filter out all of the expired domains.

So I wrote a little app for that, its very similar to yours but probably more buggy! The way it works is pretty straightforward.

It loads up a text file containing urls. Every time you click on next it browses internet explorer to the next url. If you click on "link ok" it saves the url to the text box.

I haven't got .net 4 on my pc so your application doesn't run on my pc. I don't want to upgrade yet, so can't test it :(

I'm playing around with watin. If you didn't know about it already, hope you find it useful in future projects.

cheers
