      Hello everyone,
      I have a question about the links explorer: how do I check the outbound links? I have a website that I want to know its outbound links. Do I have to buy the Moz Pro method for that?

          If you're referring to Moz's Link Explorer tool, you can use it to check outbound links from a website without purchasing the Moz Pro method. Here's how you can do it:

          • Go to the Link Explorer tool page on Moz's website.
          • Enter the website's URL that you want to check outbound links for in the search bar.
          • Once the tool generates the results, scroll down to the "Outbound Links" section.

          Here you can see a list of all the outbound links from the website, along with other details like their Domain Authority and Page Authority.
          You can use Moz's Link Explorer for free with some limitations on the number of queries you can make per month. However, if you need to perform more in-depth analysis and access advanced features, you may need to consider purchasing the Moz Pro method.

            @morex Hey everyone,

            Thanks in advance for any insight on this. I've been researching it quite a bit on Google and haven't found anything yet.

            In Analytics, under our pages report, we're getting a lot of pages that look like this:

            www.daisylimo.com/https://www.daisylimo.com

            Would you have any thoughts on how to fix this? These pages don't exist...I'm at such a loss.

              You can do that on most SEO tools by checking outbound links from your site.

                There is a limit of 10 free searches on Moz free account. If you want to check more you have to go with Moz Pro. And as @Fabian001 told you can use free tools. There is one more tool keyword explorer which you can use to check backlinks from SERP result. Simply install this extension and you are good to go.

                  Hi @ZeonAley you can use a couple of free chrome extensions for example

                  1. Moz Bar - helps to visually highlight outbound links on your page
                  2. SEOquake, details down outbound links from a page

                  Also can consider the free screaming frog application. Allows you to crawl your website and find outbound links.

                    Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

                    link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

                    Hi there
                    I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
                    The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
                    Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
                    Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
                    I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
                    The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
                    I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

                    Can I check outbound links from a website?

                    Hi! Is there an easy way to check if a certain domain has a link to my domain. Is there something similar to "checking outbound links" on a website?

                    How does spammy linked site have zero spam score?

                    I came across a law firm site with hundreds of horrible spam links to it. Of the 3330 links, all but 231 links have anchor text that has to do with "jordan 11s for sale". I'm trying to see how useful the moz spam score is, but clearly it's not reliable if this site has a score of zero. Many of the obviously spammy sites linking to it also have low to zero spam scores, although there are plenty in the 5-10 range. (see attached image). I also noticed that many sites were legit sites, but if you look at the source code, there's tons of hidden spam links in the code (e.g., www.chickasawgardens.net) Why would this site have a zero spam score? If you're curious, put it into open site explorer and have a look. It's a law firm based in Pennsylvania, most anchor text has to do with jordan sneakers and most links are foreign: penn-criminallawyers.com Is the spam score too lenient? Is the moz tool unable to find spam links coming from legitimate sites with hidden spam links? DrokMbP

                    Crawling and Links - Showing Links

                    Hello I have a campaign in Moz that shows a new site as having no domain authority and no links. The site does have links to it, but they don't show up on OSE. Does Moz count links in the comments section of blogs (or is this counted as social, when the commenting system is one that requires facebook login?) I know blog comments are not great for SEO, I just use them when the post/link is 100% genuinely relevant. The site does have actual links on websites not just comment links, so it isn't showing any type of link. What is the best way to see the links the site has? Thanks!

                    Issues Checking Backlinks To YouTube Videos

                    Hi, Hope someone might be able to help here. I have been using OSE to check backlinks to sites without an issue. However, I do seem to have problems checking links to videos. For examplpe, I took a video url and checked backlinks and OSE reports 33 million just discovered, majestic SEO reports none and Ahrefs seems about right with 17. I was wondering if there is something I need to do to ensure OSE returns correct results for individual youtube videos. FYI, I am using the url that appears in the Google search. Thanks Mark

                    A simple count (with list if possible) of the external and internal links on a website

                    Dear Moz Community, I am trying to find a way to easily analyse a website (http://uk.chm-cbd.net) to determine the number of internal and external hyperlinks throughout the (roughly) 490 webpages within the site. It would also be extremely helpful to have a list of all the links with their url. Does anyone know of a tool, methodology to do this? If it requires a lot of programming then that does not help me very much as I am not very computer literate!! So a software to download or an online service would be very helpful. Open Site Explorer seems to be limited, such that I would have to do an analysis on each page within the website. BUT, if anyone knows how I can do using OSE, then please tell me. Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help Hugh
