Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Are you asking to check if the URL is a facebook, twitter or linkedin page? Can you provide a test URL for example (not a real URL as that may violate someones privacy).

What I think you are looking for is Web scraping or web mining. While you can automate IE with multiple URL's if the HTML is different (and it will be) i would imagine this is impossible in Excel. A more advanced web mining tool like python would probably make this possible.

Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe someone else has more insight into this?
