Would a "honeyclient" fit your requirements?

Does anyone know of a tool that would scan a website for external links, and
then check each of those links to a specified depth for specific content?
 
Example use:  Someone has a weblink on the organization¹s website.  The page
the weblink points at is compromised and malware, inappropriate content, etc.
are placed on the site.  If there was a tool to scan the external links to
check content, this would be caught and an administrator noticed so the link
could be removed from the organization¹s website.
 
Thanks all,
