How can I find out what domains are 301 redirected to my website?
For example if a.com, b.com, and c.com are 301 redirected to my website, then how can I know the list of a.com, b.com, and c.com?

- The most reliable way is from the web-server logs. By referrer field. But keep in mind that this field (1) can be cleared and (2) it will not disclose the HTTP code. So you can't filter out only 301 redirects. That's to the best of my knowledge.
- The next semi-reliable way is to use Google Analytics or Google Search Console as mentioned already. Reliability is lower since it won't show you data about the users with Ad blocking software.

The referrer field is completely useless for discovering redirects. Browsers never put the redirecting URL into the referrer field. Because of this, neither server logs nor Google Analytics will be any help in their referrer reports. Commented Feb 21, 2018 at 18:45
