Link Intersect Tool by Ahrefs

You may search for sites that link to a very specific URL or you may search for sites that link to ANY page on a given domain – these two options are my favourite ones.

There were quite a few requests to add this little thing to our UI and we’re hoping that it would make your SEO research process more convenient.
