Moz Toolbar Analyzer - Links
-
On the moz toolbar there is an Analyze tool. The third tab is for viewing Page Attributes. That page contains a section called On Page Links.
I can see the External Link count, but I need to drill down further to look at these external links.
I have viewed a page and don't see the external links this tool is seeing. I have searched the page, the source code, and used other tools on the page. The numbers don't match up.
Is there a tool which lists all the external links on a given page?

Hey Ryan!
While the toolbar should be showing you correct link counts, you're right - it doesn't show a list of those links. If you'd like to see that feature, definitely suggest it at our feature request forum: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests.
As for links going out from the site, if you think there's an issue with the tool can you email some examples to help@seomoz.org? It's more of a support question than an SEO question so definitely hit us up there with more information about the issue if you think it's inaccurate.
Hope that helps!

Thanks again Barry.
Google WMT is not of any help. As you suggested Fetch as Googlebot only shows header information, where I need a count of all links Google sees on the page.
What I am looking for is a tool which shows the number of links on a given web page, a breakdown of those links, and this information to be in synch with Google's crawler. Every tool I use seems to offer a different number of links.
-
Ah right, well, you'll probably have to put in a feature request for the toolbar to see that and again, you'll not actually be seeing through Google's eyes.
I've just tried to run a crawl test - http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test - to see if that breaks down links on each page or not, will let you know (or you can run your own anyway).
You can put the page into Fetch as Googlebot in WMT as well, but it'll just return the code it's seeing, so you'll have to count what shows and what doesn't.
Apart from that, not much I can think of.

Thank you Barry.
I apologize I wasn't clearer in my question. The SEOmoz Analyze tool says I have 100 internal links and 3 external links on a given page. I need an exact breakdown of THOSE links. I require the ability to drill down and see my page as the Analyze tool sees it.
Part of the problem is when I use other tools, they offer different numbers on the exact same page. For example, the lynx viewer shows a total of 61 links on the same page which SEOmoz Analyze tool shows 103.
What I really need is to know exactly how many links Google will see on the page so I can better understand and manage the page juice. If there is a tool that accurately performs that function, it would be helpful.

You can try a lynx viewer which in theory should return every link on the page (it shows all links at the bottom).
These viewers attempt to replicate what search engines see, but don't really look at much beyond the code (ie if you can't see them it probably can't).

Inbound external links
Hi I have a question about inbound external links The good news is that I have 135 inbound links showing up in open site explorer, where my main competitor has 4 The bad news is that these are not the links that I have been building myself. The links are sometimes in a foreign language, rarely in an entertainment category, which my website is, and there seems no way to add a link on the page. I did buy some links when I first started out, but I was advised not to do it again But these are clearly working despite their apparent lack of value Then the question is where are my web directory listings, social bookmarks, social media content and web 2.0 articles, and the links I found my competitor had, that I was able to add my own website on, I have manually grafted for these links, have I been wasting my time with all of these?.

Internal and external links showing in Webmaster Tools but not in MOZ
Hi there I set up a campaign 2 weeks ago but I am registering zero internal or external links for my website. It's a small site with only about 300 external links but they show in Webmaster tools but not in my link report or Open Site Explorer. Do I need to wait until the next OSE crawl or is something wrong with my set up? Thanks in advance! Laurie

How can I recognize spammy links that harm my website
Hello, Can someone tell me how I can recognize links that can harm my website? I have OpenSiteExplorer and CognitiveSEO as tools to create nice backlinking reports for me. But my problem is, how do I know if a link shown on these reports can harm my website so I can remove them? Is it linktypes, low auth. links etc? Thank you for your answers in advance! Regards, Thomas

Too Many On-Page Links
The SeoMoz site crawler says all my pages have too many links. I am using Dreamweaver with a horizontal Spry drop-down menu bar. My site has several hundred pages and about 100 of them show up in this Spry menu bar. I believe that this would be considered a false positive for too many links - am I right? Or is Google seeing this also as too many links per page? I am trying to get my Google rankings back after being hurt badly by the Penguin. I am using php but don't see another way to do the site links without going to a CMS type site. Thanks for any help you can give.

Links in Open Site Explorer turning into downloads
Hey guys. This is my first question on here so hello 🙂 I have noticed recently a couple of times in Open Site Explorer, when I am checking out links, they are direct download links. The two I have noticed are flash files and with one companies links, dropbox related. Can anyone shed any light on this? I am pretty new to SEO and find it really confusing. Thanks in advance 🙂
