Moz Toolbar Analyzer - Links
-
On the moz toolbar there is an Analyze tool. The third tab is for viewing Page Attributes. That page contains a section called On Page Links.
I can see the External Link count, but I need to drill down further to look at these external links.
I have viewed a page and don't see the external links this tool is seeing. I have searched the page, the source code, and used other tools on the page. The numbers don't match up.
Is there a tool which lists all the external links on a given page?

Hey Ryan!
While the toolbar should be showing you correct link counts, you're right - it doesn't show a list of those links. If you'd like to see that feature, definitely suggest it at our feature request forum: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests.
As for links going out from the site, if you think there's an issue with the tool can you email some examples to help@seomoz.org? It's more of a support question than an SEO question so definitely hit us up there with more information about the issue if you think it's inaccurate.
Hope that helps!

Thanks again Barry.
Google WMT is not of any help. As you suggested Fetch as Googlebot only shows header information, where I need a count of all links Google sees on the page.
What I am looking for is a tool which shows the number of links on a given web page, a breakdown of those links, and this information to be in synch with Google's crawler. Every tool I use seems to offer a different number of links.
-
Ah right, well, you'll probably have to put in a feature request for the toolbar to see that and again, you'll not actually be seeing through Google's eyes.
I've just tried to run a crawl test - http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test - to see if that breaks down links on each page or not, will let you know (or you can run your own anyway).
You can put the page into Fetch as Googlebot in WMT as well, but it'll just return the code it's seeing, so you'll have to count what shows and what doesn't.
Apart from that, not much I can think of.

Thank you Barry.
I apologize I wasn't clearer in my question. The SEOmoz Analyze tool says I have 100 internal links and 3 external links on a given page. I need an exact breakdown of THOSE links. I require the ability to drill down and see my page as the Analyze tool sees it.
Part of the problem is when I use other tools, they offer different numbers on the exact same page. For example, the lynx viewer shows a total of 61 links on the same page which SEOmoz Analyze tool shows 103.
What I really need is to know exactly how many links Google will see on the page so I can better understand and manage the page juice. If there is a tool that accurately performs that function, it would be helpful.

You can try a lynx viewer which in theory should return every link on the page (it shows all links at the bottom).
These viewers attempt to replicate what search engines see, but don't really look at much beyond the code (ie if you can't see them it probably can't).

Is this owned by moz?
We continue to get hundreds of spam links per month, and just found a link from here. I do not believe this is owned by moz. https://www.wapz.net/ Maybe I'm wrong? Thanks.

Inbound links not showing in reports
My clients site so far only has a few inbound links. If I do a report on MOZ/Open Site Explorer it only lists 10 domains linking in and, a number of important ones are not on that list. As an example, one of the leading UK national newspapers (Daily Telegraph) has a link on this page to the client www.vidavida.co.uk and yet this link/domain does not appear in the above reports. Is this an intentional nofollow type thing that the telegraph does and is there a way for me to check that on their site/page? http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG8655068/Holiday-travel-in-style.html Any comments most appreciated. Thanks,

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.

SEO moz poor rankings reporting
How are we supposed to send ranking reports to clients if the rankings are constantly reporting false metrics This is not the first time this has happened, but the rankings are WAAAAAAY off. What is the point of reporting rankings that are not accurate? What is the possible cause of this. Is there a solution? What is SEOmoz doing to improve their ranking programs. Our client actually ranked #2 for "northern Virginia HVAC contractors" when moz had us not in the top 50! How are we supposed to bank on information that is so consistently unreliable? northernvirginiahvaccontractors.png northernvirginiahvaccontractorsrank.png

What Does the SEO Moz Crawler Take Into account?
I'm working on a page that has links from some decent pages pointing to it, but a lot of them are low-value blog comments. So I'm pretty sure that its Page Authority is higher than it should be, compared to where it's ranking. Does SEO moz take the type of link into account? i.e. if it's a footer link, blog comment, or forum signature link; this should carry less weight than a link in the content of the page itself, as it does with Google.
