How to measure number of links out from a page
-
Following on from earlier Q, what do you all use to count links out from a page. I believe there is a bing tool which does this, though rather than a list of sites a simple number would be ideal?
-
I was caught up in the wording.
OSE lists the number of internal and external links for a website.
But you also have to factor in where they are linking to. Links to spam sites is not a site you want to be associated with.

Got it; linkfromdomain:

Forgive me if I've lost my way here though Im interested in links out from a site rather than back links. Im sure there is a bing tool? Im interested in finding out where a site links to and the number of sites it links to and therefore just how much this might weaken a link if you were to attain one on that page. For example if you find a blog which is very relevant to your business and you can see a link passing good relevant juice. If you can then see which sites that blog links out to then you can write 'You link to ..... and we're similar to them so perhaps we can have a link too? Also a number of sites they link out to might help you decide whether the site would pass as much link juice as on a superrficial review looking at just PA/DA and/or OSE?

It would be convenient if links were absolute in value. E.g, four links are worth twice as much as two links. But they are not and there is a ton of value in analyzing where links are coming from and where your competition is getting links.
Open Site Explorer is a good option for this. So is Yahoo Site Explorer. Majestic is another option.
OSE is my preference. Each one will likely give you a different number of links. Some links are discounted for appearing spammy, some are considered duplicates, etc. While you may not always have an absolute number to rely on, there is value in analyzing what you and your competitors have and improving on that over time.

How can a keyword placed on a page with the Moz page optimization score of 100 be ranked #51+?
Hi, Please help me figure out why this is happening and what goes wrong. This is the example of the poor ranked keyword - 'viking cooktop repair' with page optimization score of 100 (http://www.yourappliancerepairla.com/blog/viking-cooktop-repair/) Yet it's ranking is #51+. I've got many like these: Page Optimization Score for 'kitchenaid oven repair' is 100 (http://www.yourappliancerepairla.com/blog/kitchenaid-oven-repair/) yet its ranking is #51+ And so on. According to Google Search Console, I have 266 of links to my site with variety of root domains. While building backlinks, I paid attention to relevancy and DA.What else do I have to do to get those keywords ranked higher? And why don't they rank well if the pages are 100% optimized, not keywords stuffed and I have quality backlinks? What am I missing out on? Please help!

Are image pages considered 'thin' content pages?
I am currently doing a site audit. The total number of pages on the website are around 400... 187 of them are image pages and coming up as 'zero' word count in Screaming Frog report. I needed to know if they will be considered 'thin' content by search engines? Should I include them as an issue? An answer would be most appreciated.

Moving Some Content From Page A to Page B
Page A has written content, pictures, videos. The written content from Page A is being moved to Page B. When Google crawls the pages next time around will Page B receive the content credit? Will there not be any issues that this content originally belonged to Page A? Page A is not a page I want to rank for (just have great pictures and videos for users). Can I 301 redirect from Page A to B since the written content from A has been deleted or no need? Again, I intent to keep Page A live because good value for users to see pictures and videos.

Link to overall brand pages
On our website we have two ways to get in a brand environment. We have general brand pages and brand pages divided by category. At this moment the category brand pages get the most SEO value, because we have a link on our homepage to these pages (via the mega dropdown). The problem is that we would like to assign the SEO value to the general brand pages (with all the articles) instead of the category brand pages (with only articles within a category). We prefer to optimize the general brand page without a link to this page on the homepage for now. for example; Those two pages have the most SEO value
