If you're serious about your SEO analysis, there's a project called Common Crawl that offers a 100TB web archive of around 6 billion web pages, downloadable from Amazon S3. It used to be sort of a pain to use but they've added a tool at hxxp://urlsearch.commoncrawl.org/ that lets you list all the indexed urls for a site, view the page source, and download a json file of the urls and their pointers in the archive. From there it's pretty easy to do certain analysis that's pretty difficult with other tools without doing your own spidering.

Common Crawl has other interesting data, including their meta files, which give HTTP response codes for URLs, which makes it fairly easy to research what's redirecting where if you have the tools (think Hadoop) and skill to process all that data, and the text only sets, approximating what a search engine would do to determine the content within a page.

If you're already using CC data or providing a service based on it, please consider supporting their efforts. Karma and all that.
 
sounds great and nice, but i tried like 10 of my sites some of them that are 5+ years old and for all of them i got 0 results :(

did you get any success yourself?
 
Yes, the main difference is they crawl less, one of mine with 11k pages indexed in G only has 654 in CC, and they seemed not to crawl my blogs that don't use pretty permalinks.
 
Nice, I tried like 7 of my sites some of them that are 1+ years old and for all of them i got good results.
 
i am not good in seo and it looks like it is a thing for pro's .
