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
Trevor

Thanks Gil, that is a good tool.
I hope the Moz team introduce something like this into their software.

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

Only 2 Inbound Links which are the Redirect 301 Links
Hello Everyone, We're having a serious Problem with the ranking of our website so we started testing the website in different Tools. Almost all of the tools say our website works great and in comparision to our competitors we win in almost every test – but we rank behind them. The only thing that makes me wonder is the fact that our website has only 2 Inbound links (Open Site Explorer) when the link source is set to only internal. And the only links shown are 2 links that come from the old http (we're using https) and redirect 301 to our https. No other links – in other tools we have around 80 internal links to our rmain https-webadress. Does anyone have an idea where that comes from? I'm afraid this might be our issue in ranking behind of lots of our competitors. Lokking forward to your ideas and suggestions.

A single metric to evaluate link quality?
We're using Moz and Ahrefs to monitor backlinks that we're getting to Siftery. Given that there are so many factors that affect the potential quality of a backlink - domain authority, page authority, context, anchor text, etc. - is there a single metric that attempts to quantify the value of a link? I realize that this would be an inexact science, but it would be a helpful view to get a quick directional sense of what are our most valuable backlinks (and be able to tie it to the campaigns that led to them, for example). If there's no "single metric" out there, are there heuristics that people have withstood the test of time? Thanks for your help!

Total External Links
Hi There, I'm looking at my link profile and my Total External Links dropped uber dramatically back in April. Any way to figure out what the heck happened? My only idea is that this was around the time we launched a new version of the website but I'm not sure it corresponds exactly and anyway the domain didn't change. Possibly some urls did but all have been redirected. Any ideas? Thanks, site is www.nationalpardon.org

Does Open Site Explorer purposefully not crawl some sites?
I use both SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer and Web Master Tools to find backlinks when conducting link audits. WMT always finds more links than OSE; I understand Google's database is bigger. But what is interesting to me is that it seems that a large percentage of the links WMT finds that OSE does not are real crappy links that I don't want. That makes me wonder if SEOmoz decides not to crawl certain, low quality, sites? Just curious.

Site Not On Google, SEOmoz shows as 43
The site I'm helping with was at one time a page 1, even #1 on page 1. Lots of changes, problems when someone else did something and dropped to page 4 for keyword. After some recent tweaking I did, it no longer shows on rankings. No penalty on Google Webmaster, in Webmaster tools it shows the sitemap processed with no errors. SEOmoz still shows it at #43 in Rankings. Why does SEOmoz see it, but I don't? Site is www.plussizeplum.com (sorry, plus size women's lingerie) and keywords are "plus size lingerie".

Open Site Explorer Update
What is taking OSE so long to update? The update schedule said the next update was going to be on Dec 28th.
Moz Pro | | Robbie8299
If you open OSE it says "Last Index Update: November 28th, 2011" Today in January 1st. Any thoughts as to why the delay?0 -
Why is my site showing a redirect that doesn't exist?
I have two sites. www.plasticandfoampackaging.com www.flyfitters.com Previously I had flyfitters 301 redirecting to plasticandfoampackaging. I stopped that about a month ago. I moved the nameservers and stopped the redirect. I am a novice but it seems to be working perfectly. However, SEOMOZ is showing that the redirect still exists. Does the site need to be recrawled or do I need to update the info somewhere? Please advise. Thanks Patrick

Open Site Explorer Question!
Hi, I have performed a search on a root domain and the page auth is higher then the domain auth? I would have thought they would have been the same or at least the other way around!
