How to find outbound links
-
Hello, I want to know how to find outbound links of any website. is it possible to like search google as "link:domain.com" or with any parameter?

Hi Figen,
I fear that will be difficult to find - I did a quick google search & first result was this topic on Moz from Jan. 2013 (http://moz.com/community/q/how-do-you-check-the-outbound-links-of-a-site) . The answers basically are the same - it's possible to to a check outgoing links on one page using tools- however if you want to do it on a full domain - you'll need a tool like Screaming Frog (or alternative Xenu LinkSleuth).
If Google isn't providing the info, all the other potential solutions would require crawling sites - most of the tools available on the market give information about who is linking to your site (or you competitor's site for that matter) - but not the other way.

Thank you for reply. But as you said size of website might be a little problem crawl with software. For example sites have a big index like moz.com .
In fact I'm looking for an easy way to find outbound links.
Thank you

I don't think Google provides you with this info. You could use a tool like Screaming Frog to crawl the sites & to check their external links - depending on the size of the sites this could take quite some time & you would need the pro version of the tool.
rgds,
Dirk

Google showing different links in SERPs
Google search results are showing my site links in both URLs, "mydomain.com" and "https://mydomain.com". However the one with https is showing a favicon, and the other one is not. So i wanna keep the https one and remove the other one. I went to GSC to submit "mydomain.com" for removal and it said that URL will be deleted in ALL of its variations.So how do i delete the "mydomain.com" links? Should i just index the ones with https again? Would that work? Someone suggested me to do 301 redirect on all pages that are being displayed twice. But i am not sure if i need to do that since i am using squarespace, and both of the links lead to the same page?

Why would so many links be appearing in the source code of this page - but not on the page itself?
Hi everyone, Have a look at the source code of this page: http://www.daleproaudio.com/c-332-mixers.aspx Notice the numerous links in the source code that do not appear on the page. Is this cloaking? Or is it a by-product of their use of Nextopia? Bonus points if anyone knows what platform this site is running on 🙂 Thanks!

Linking within a website advice please
Hi i am working on my site which is a lifestyle magazine and i have been reading about using linking within your own website to help you climb up the search engines. Now i am trying to find out if this is correct information and if so which is the best way to use this. I have an example page below, as stated i am still working on the site and the site will still take me a few more weeks yet. http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/soap-gossip/eastenders-fans-not-happy-over-tanya-plot Now if it is correct that linking from within a site is a good way to climb the search engines, i would like to know how i would do it for this page. I am looking at climbing the search engines for soap gossip and celebrity news. I was thinking should i have a line at the bottom saying something like for all the latest celebrity news visit our site or something like this. any advice would be great
