    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

          Gil

            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

              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

                Unsolved Link Tracking List Error

                error backlinks moz pro

                "I have been maintaining 5 directories of backlinks in the 'Link Tracking List' section for several months. However, I am unable to locate any of these links at this time. Additionally, the link from my MOZ profile is currently broken and redirects to an error page, no to Elche Se Mueve. Given the premium pricing of MOZ's services, these persistent errors are unacceptable."

                Hello I have 72 external broken links who are reported with a http 503 status. When I ask the owner of that site, he confirmed he has removed it from GA by using this status. My question is. Does this have an impact for the quality of my site? The site is available, there is no delay when you open the link. Thank you for your support. br

                Whether or not to remove a link from a website with high spam score on Open Site Explorer

                Hello Moz! I just subscribed for your Moz Pro program. Amazing stuff! On open site explorer, I found a number of links to my site from a page called with a very high page authority and high domain authority, but also a high spam score (8 or 9, one with a 10). I say multiple spam scores, because it's strange, there are what appears variations of the same url, and each one is considered a link.  For instance, there's an abc.linkstomysite.com and xyz.linktomysite.com, and 123.linktomysite.com... there are about 15 of these (all with the spam scores mentioned above)! This must have been some old SEO work done I payed for back in the prehistoric SEO days. However, my fear is the following: Removing these links, and then losing some potentially strong link juice.  I don't have many high DA or PA links to my site, and these are some major ones. The domain in question "linktomysite.com", when entered into OSE, only has a spam score of 4, and it has a domain authority of 45 and page authority of 37.  My site has a spam score of 2 and no messages from google regarding a penalty, but an overall reduction in google traffic over the years (just keeps slowly dropping... as if a weight is pulling me down?) What do you think, should I leave, or remove?  The linkstomysite page is just a LONG page full of links, with short descriptions, nothing of value, but with a an old domain age (relatively). Most important for me is keeping at least some ranking/visibility, while I personally work on building quality links and helpful content. thanks!

                Automatically Check List of Sites For Links To Specific Domain

                Hi all, Can anyone recommend a tool that will allow me to put in a list of about 200 domains that are then checked for a link back to a specific domain? I know I can do various link searches and use Google site: command on a site by site basis, but it would be much quicker if there was a tool that could take the list of domains I am expecting a link  on and then find if that link exists and if so on what page etc. Hope this makes sense  otherwise I have to spend a day doing it by hand - not fun! Thanks,
                charles.

                Percentage of good links vs. bad

                Hi Does anyone know the best way of determining good links from bad links using the SEO Moz tools? I bought some directory links to two or three pages on my site a few years back. The were all very obviously spammy because of the anchor text and I didn't have a high enough ratio of good links to counteract them. I read somewhere that if more than 10% of the links to a page have the same (or similar) anchor text, it's obvious that you're on the bad list.

                Page Authority is the same on every page of my site

                I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

                How can I reduce the number of links on a page and keep the site easy to navigate?

                The SEOmoz Site Crawl indicates that we have too many on page links on over 9,970 pages. This is an ecommerce site with a large number of categories. I have a couple of questions regarding this issue: How important is the "too many on page links" factor to SEO? What are some methods of reducing the number of links when there are a large number of categories? We have main categories with dropdown menus currently and have found that they are used to browse and shop the store.
