      So maybe SEOmoz offers this but I am just having a brain fart today, but what is a good tool to audit all of the outbound links on a certain website? We have our main corporate owners interested in being better at linking to us and our properties. How can we find out who they are currently linking to in a simple excel spreadsheet format?

        If you want all linking URLs, you can go to Tools and use Open Site Explorer.

        Put in your link, around the middle, there is a "Download to CSV". It will download all the links for you and their authority.

          I'll try that, but I didn't think that was for outbound but inbound only.

            You should complete a site crawl to identify outbound links. Xenu is a free option and you can filter to look at outbounds; Screaming Frog will present a single report of out links.

              Xenu does work well. The option to see this, that I never had used before is "Export Page Map to Tab Seperated File". Looks exactly what I need.

              Thanks!
