Total number of outbound external links?

[Horizon]

Hi Mozzers,

Is anyone aware of a tool that will tell me how many outbound external links there are on my website? Basically, I have a theory that our website is littered with links to other websites, but need to know the approximate figure. As far as I can tell, none of the Moz tools tell me this?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

Matt

If you have access to your website source code, you could always just do a search for absolute anchor tags throughout your site, ending at the protocol (so, search for the beginning of the tag like so "

If the site was built correctly, you would only use absolute URLs for external links. This would give you a quick count. But it's not foolproof, as as the anchor tags may not be consistently coded.
