[WebPub] link checker tool for Mac?

[Jay Sitter]

I believe Google does what you’re after? You can use the "link:" operator to find pages that contain a link to a given URL. For example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Atherapydog.info+site%3Alibraries.mit.edu

As documented here:

This is a task I do often, so it needs to be relatively fast & simple, and I need to be able to save a report, so I don’t have to crawl our sites every time I need to search for links.
