      Hello everyone,
      I have a question about the links explorer: how do I check the outbound links? I have a website that I want to know its outbound links. Do I have to buy the Moz Pro method for that?

        We use Screaming Frog for this, it also shows us if there are any 404 errors

          If you're referring to Moz's Link Explorer tool, you can use it to check outbound links from a website without purchasing the Moz Pro method. Here's how you can do it:

          • Go to the Link Explorer tool page on Moz's website.
          • Enter the website's URL that you want to check outbound links for in the search bar.
          • Once the tool generates the results, scroll down to the "Outbound Links" section.

          Here you can see a list of all the outbound links from the website, along with other details like their Domain Authority and Page Authority.
          You can use Moz's Link Explorer for free with some limitations on the number of queries you can make per month. However, if you need to perform more in-depth analysis and access advanced features, you may need to consider purchasing the Moz Pro method.

            @morex Hey everyone,

            Thanks in advance for any insight on this. I've been researching it quite a bit on Google and haven't found anything yet.

            In Analytics, under our pages report, we're getting a lot of pages that look like this:

            www.daisylimo.com/https://www.daisylimo.com

            Would you have any thoughts on how to fix this? These pages don't exist...I'm at such a loss.

              You can do that on most SEO tools by checking outbound links from your site.

                There is a limit of 10 free searches on Moz free account. If you want to check more you have to go with Moz Pro. And as @Fabian001 told you can use free tools. There is one more tool keyword explorer which you can use to check backlinks from SERP result. Simply install this extension and you are good to go.

                  Hi @ZeonAley you can use a couple of free chrome extensions for example

                  1. Moz Bar - helps to visually highlight outbound links on your page
                  2. SEOquake, details down outbound links from a page

                  Also can consider the free screaming frog application. Allows you to crawl your website and find outbound links.

                    Unsolved Huge Increase In Internal Links + Domain Authority Tanked

                    internal linking domain authority

                    Hey, I am very concerned about the link metrics I am seeing, really hoping someone can help. In October last year there were a total of 34.7K 'total links' attributed to my E-commerce website . This compared to 41.2k and 213k links attributed to my two main competitors. In November, my website had a forced update due to incompatibility issues my shopping cart version was having with the server on which it is hosted. (I was told by my web developers / hosting company that their server was upgraded.) This update created many problems such as checkout issues, page layout issues, sitemaps not automatically regenerating and the big one - it reverted back to http instead of https. Along with my developers, I spent 2 weeks fixing all of the issues until everything worked correctly and https was reinstated. After initial warnings from Moz, I have not received any critical crawler issues or warnings, big ranking drops etc since November. I was satisfied that all was ok. However, in November my 'total links' jumped to 81.5k and have since continued to balloon. December - 309.1k, January -335k, February - 665k, March - 716k, April - 719k, May - 742k, June - 751k. In the same period (November - June), my external links went from 5.3k - 8.7k. So it appears the huge increase in links are internal. In my latest report it states that 'internal follow links' are up by 8k and 'internal no follow links' are up by 1k. This is insane. I cannot understand why I have so many internal links and why they keep increasing. I maintain the website with updates, blog articles etc but no more than I have in the past several years. Worryingly, once this increase in links started being reported, my Domain Authority has also tanked. In October my DA was 37 (higher than my competitors) and has since dropped as low as 19. It has gone up to 21 this month (still significantly lower than my competitors). I have spent hours researching why this huge increase in internal links could be happening but have got nowhere. If anyone could advise what the issue could be and how I can fix it, I would be eternally grateful. Issues I have discovered along the way that may help with analysis:
                    My site has many 404s (hundreds) - all relate to urls of old images that have been removed from the website. The 'Top Hits' on my website are from blogs (some spammy) to these deleted image urls that return a 404. I don't use any plugins. I do get 'duplicate content' notices as my blog posts archive themselves and generate new urls - as an example - 'blog post name' archived December 2023. It may be the case that the old http urls have been redirected to https but I have no warnings for 'redirect issues' in Moz. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help.

                    Unsolved My DA does not increase and Moz does not recognize my links

                    da page authority

                    Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

                    Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

                    link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

                    Hi there
                    I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
                    The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
                    Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
                    Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
                    I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
                    The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
                    I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png
