      There are great tools like http://www.opensiteexplorer.org that will tell you all about the inbound links.  What about the more basic and easier question:  What outgoing links does this site have?

        Here is a tool to find out how many out going links are in a website:

        also if you have the seo quake tool in your browser it will tell you how many outgoing links are on the page you are looking at.

            I had an issue with spam links being inserted on a site, so I did of bit of research on this. All of the links above are great, but unfortunately check only the site that you submit (instead of the entire domain).

            The best I've found is Screaming Spider. Enter your domain at the top and click Start. After it's completed, click the "External" tab at the top and it will show you a list of links.

            Additionally, if you want to see the page on your site that the link is located, click the "In-Links" tab on the bottom and the "From" column will give you the page.

            This helped us a ton. Enjoy!

              Xenu Link Sleuth is also a good option.

                ScreamingFrog will also let you see External HTML links from a site. Plus it works on Mac.
