What analysis exists for Out Bound Links (OBL) from your site

[tstolber1]

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,

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

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 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

Thanks Gil, that is a good tool.

I hope the Moz team introduce something like this into their software.
