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).

Spam links with high DA
I'm running through the spam analysis and noticed a few links that are considered to be 9+ on the spam score (high spam level), but some of them have DA of 60 -75. How can this be possible? When I view the sites they appear to be be pretty low quality. If i'm considering disavowing a site should I focus on spam score or DA? A DA of 75 is a pretty reputable standing.

New to Moz, need some probably basic answers about Keywords, Linking, Competitors and General SEO
Hi, So I have quite a lot of data colelcted about my site now, regarding keyword research, page crawling and competitor research ect. But I find myself second guessing myself about what I have done and what to do next. I have done basic research for as many relevant keywords I could think of to my site, including branded and non branded terms. If the main competitive keywords for my niche are very competitive, shall I start doing more research for long tail keywords and only try to rank for them? Does is matter how many keywords I am doing research for? Does is matter how many keywords I try to optimise for each webpage? Are the amount of branded keywords I am researching skewing my results? As they are all ranked #1, but nearly all of the non branded keywords are much further down the list... Once I have decided what keywords are worth trying to ranking for for each page, are the techniques to actually rank more highly for them - Title, H1 Tag, Description, Meta Data, Fresh Content and using the keywords on the page? Or are there more techniques I haven't heard of? Under Keyword Rankings - I noticded that some of my keywords are directing to specific pages, like "Cavity Waxes" is directing to the URL ending in .com/cavity-waxes - How do you assign the keywords im researching to specific URLs? - Or does Moz do it automatically? As most of my keywords seem to be unassigned to any URL, is that because they are not ranking highly enough? How do I best use the data collected through Moz? Good practices? Techniques? Tips and Tricks? What is the best practice for finding potential link partners and asking them for mutual linking? Techniques for finding partners that are likely to link with us, but still provides link juice. I must apologise for this long-winded set of questions, but these are troubling me! Any help would be greatly appreciated, Kind regards, Max Johnson

Moz Pro vs. Moz Analytics
Beta version has been out for awhile. Curious to know what people think of Moz Analytics. Personally, I'm having a hard time making the switch from Pro to Moz Analytics because I'm so used to the navigation and layout of Pro. What does everyone else think of the new Moz Analytics? Advantages? Disadvantages?

SEOmoz Not Picking Up Links
I'm finding that SEOmoz often doesn't pick up on many of the links my client's websites are attaining. The links do appear in search engine and often have a high domain authority (often PR links, which I why I follow up to see if they've been picked up). I do tend to see many of the links appear in webmaster tools, so it's a little frustrating that they don't appear, even after months of pages being live. Thoughts?

SEO Moz Bug? Universal Placements
Had a quick look around and can't find anything relating to this. We are doing really well with our universal placements, google places etc. SEOMoz used to recognise them, but now I have no universal placements according to SEOMoz, though they are clearly all still doing well. But in the program, or problem with the data? Thanks Marc

Advanced Link Report Different Link # than Total Links??
Hi, I've downloaded a csv report for links in "advanced reports" section. At the very top in blue OSE lists overall metrics, i.e. Domain Auth, Page Auth, Linking Root Domains, and then it lists "Total Links" at 1,769. When I download the advanced report in csv I have 505 total links in Excel. Why is there a difference between Total Links and what I have downloaded? What makes up the Total Links? The report I created included, "inbound links/linking pages, Types of Links: any; Links that come from: Any Page, Any IP; Links that link to: any page on subdomain; links with properties: any; Thanks!

Quantity of Internal Followed Links
We compared our and competitor pages. And we have got next statistics: Internal Followed Links: 184 4,496 We are thinking about changing our shopping cart links format from /product_info.php?products_id=3547 to /product_name.html This should increase "number of our pages" and "number of links" from them.

But in case a description of products from the same category often is very similar. We worry about duplicating page content. Could you give any advice in that situation? Do Internal Links play a big role in page rank? Thanks. PS: at attached image you can find full page metrics from open site explorer. Our metrics are at left, competitors - right. BtTap.jpg0
