What analysis exists for Out Bound Links (OBL) from your site
-
Hi
Maybe I am missing this but I can''t seem to see it.
I am doing some analysis on a client's site and want to get a csv list of links from the client's site to external sites. So what I am looking for is a list of Out Bound Links (OBL) from the client's site.
I want to run these past a black list / bad link neighborhood checking script I have.
This would actually be a nice feature in SEO Moz Pro, unless it actually already does and I am just missing it or not setting filters correctly.
Thanks
Trevor

Thanks Gil, that is a good tool.
I hope the Moz team introduce something like this into their software.

Gil...great answer I learn something everyday.

Trevor,
I was thinking, there must be another solution.
Here is what I found : http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm
It's interesting because it goes one level deeper, by scanning the destination page.
For instance if you have a link to somecasinoonline.com they will check that page and try see how many questionable links are there.
It does a pretty good job apparently, but does not include text anchors

Hi Thanks for the quick response.
I like the Wintzell.net tool, and I run Linux (without wine) so the Snafu tool won't run on my system. I prefer to use a web service anyway.
Does SEO Moz Pro not have this tool? It seems like an obvious facility for it to have? Links from a site to another site can be very important too, so it would seem logical to be able to analyze the links that you have a lot of control over to make sure they are not linking to bad neighborhoods.
It would be ideal to be able to get a .csv download from Moz Pro link analysis for the links from your site to other sites. It would list the external URLs being linked to and form which internal pages they are linked from, along with the anchor text. It could even automatically show which of the sites were black listed or classed as bad link neighborhoods.
It would also seem logical to show which percentage of your back link (IBL) profile was black listed or considered a bad link neighborhood.
Thanks

Trevor,
I think this question was asked before;
See http://www.seomoz.org/q/tool-to-see-outbound-links-on-a-site
Two tools are listed :
- http://www.wintzell.net/seo-tools/domain-outbound-links-check.php an online tool, will give you a fairly simple list
- http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html#Description a downloadable program, will give you a list with anchor text
Best
Gil

Automatically Check List of Sites For Links To Specific Domain
Hi all, Can anyone recommend a tool that will allow me to put in a list of about 200 domains that are then checked for a link back to a specific domain? I know I can do various link searches and use Google site: command on a site by site basis, but it would be much quicker if there was a tool that could take the list of domains I am expecting a link on and then find if that link exists and if so on what page etc. Hope this makes sense otherwise I have to spend a day doing it by hand - not fun! Thanks,

How do Infographics provide links? (example inside)
Hi, I don't get it...
Moz Pro | | BeytzNet
I've encountered the following infographic that seemed to do well: http://www.brilliance.com/4cs-of-diamonds-infograph As you can see, the page has thousands of social shares from Tweets to Facebook and obviously Pinterest. However, when I placed this page on Open Site Explorer (click to view) I see only 9 external links and page authority of 28/100. And this seems to me like a successful infographic. Any explanations? Thanks0 -
Does SEOmoz have a tool to find mirror sites?
I heard from a company that is trying to get my clients SEO business that they discovered multiple sites mirroring our site's content. Does SEOmoz have a tool to find these websites? Or does Google?

Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL
Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.

Page Authority is the same on every page of my site
I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

How can a site have a backlink from Barclays website?
Hi, I have entered a competitiors website www.my-wardrobe.com into Open Site to see who they get links from and to my surprise they have a load from Barclays Business Banking. When I visit the page I can not see the links. But if I search the pages source code for my-wardrobe, there I have it, a link to my-wardrobe.com. How have they done this? Surely Barclays haven't sold them it? And more so, why are they receiving link juice when you cant even see the link on the Barclays page in question - http://www.barclays.co.uk/BusinessBanking/P1242557952664 Thanks | |

How can I reduce the number of links on a page and keep the site easy to navigate?
The SEOmoz Site Crawl indicates that we have too many on page links on over 9,970 pages. This is an ecommerce site with a large number of categories. I have a couple of questions regarding this issue: How important is the "too many on page links" factor to SEO? What are some methods of reducing the number of links when there are a large number of categories? We have main categories with dropdown menus currently and have found that they are used to browse and shop the store.
