How to Copy all the Links from Google Search Results into a Spreadsheet?

#1. Linkclump ( Free )

This is one of my favorite tools that let you copy, open in a new window or tab, bookmark all the links on the current page in one click. The best thing about this tool is that, you can assign separate command for different tasks. Using this tool is very simple , just press and hold the letter Z and left mouse button and drag the cursor over the Links and they all will open in new tabs when you let go off the keys.

How to Use

1. Download and add the Linkclump extension in your Chrome Browser.
2. By Default, Linkclump tool only has one action “Opened as New Tabs” enabled which open all the selected links from a page to a new Tab.
3. You will have to set the other actions with your desired key combination.
4. When you install the Linkclump extension, you are asked to add a new action command at the same time. If you did not notice this option, you can right click on the Linkclump icon in the browser toll bar at the top right and select “Options”.

#3. Link Grabber

This tool works in a different way. It grabs or extracts all the links on a page in one click. You don’t get an option to copy links from a selected area. Once the web page containing links is opened, simply click on Link Grabber icon in the browser tool bar menu to extracts all the links in a new tab. You can also right click on the web page and select Link Grabber from the context menu to open all the link in a new tab.

4. Link Klipper – Extract all links

This is another simple but very useful tool for copying or extracting links from a web page. I believe, this tool was built keeping in mind the person who usually scrape or extract a lot of links from a web page and paste them into a spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel. Link Klipper will let you export all the links in CSV or TXT file. But again this tool will copy all the links even the unwanted one. Selection does not always work not at least on the Google Search result.
