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

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

On Link Analysis tab I my best pages are 301 and 404 pages.
I looked on my redirrect file and found that /* redirects to /v/404.asp.
Moz Pro | | sbetzen
However if you look below at the link analysis the 404 page is getting a 404 error.
The homepage ecowindchimes.com/ is getting a 301 (but I don't know where it is going to).
The third one is also redirected. 1. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/ ||| 301 ||| 2 ||| 36 2. 2. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/v/404.asp ||| 404 ||| 2 ||| 34 3. [No Data] 3. ecowindchimes.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d2.html ||| 301 ||| 1 ||| 33 So I have 2 questions: 1) should this be fixed? and 2) how? This is a volusion site and I believe the "catchall" redirect was done by them0 -

How can I download all the inbound links to my Site?
Hi, From Site Explorer, I want to download all the inbound links linking to my site: www.comm100.com/livechat/. But it seems that there is a limitation. I can only download a part of the inbound links? What should I do? Or is it because my account is free trial? Do I have to pay for it? Please help. Thanks,

Internal Links
I've searched high and low, but I could just be missing it... Is there a report on internal links? Maybe a count? Or better yet, a way to see internal anchor text?

Why is Followed Linking Root Domains higher than External Followed Links?
Surely there must be at least one external link for each linking root domain? Some results for smaller sites give a higher number of domains linking in than incoming links - e.g. www.forbesandsawyer.co.uk Under Subdomain metrics: External Followed Links - 1 Followed Linking Root Domains - 2 Surely 2 root domains would mean AT LEAST 2 external followed links? Thanks, Andrew

Internal links not showing in Open Site Explorer
So I'm working on a law firm site and looking at the links for pages in OSE. For practice areas, the links to each practice area are in the left hand menu on every page of the site. Can anyone help me with this question: Example: http://www.comitzlaw.com/personal-injury/car-accidents.html When I plug this URL into OSE, it only shows one linking page, www.comitzlaw.com/practice-areas.html, yet there is a link to this on every other page in the site. When I plug in a random competitors page, www.lesagelblaw.com/Personal-Injury-Overview/Car-Accidents.shtml, it does show all the internal pages linking to it. Since I'm not using a flash menu or javascript, any ideas as to why no internal links are showing up in OSE? Even when I plug in the main URL for the home page, it only shows 4 other internal pages linking to it, yet there is a link on every page. What am I doing wrong?
