      I am trying to view all the followed internal links on a few pages of my website.

      The MOZ toolbar just gives me the total number of internal followed links. What is the best way to actually see all the internal links that are followed by the google bot from any particular page?

      Thanks in advance.

        There are lots of tools out there, the one I use is http://www.webseoanalytics.com/free/seo-tools/link-structure.php

        It will give you a full breakdown of each url, if it is dofollow/nofollow and what anchor it is using.

        Very helpful.

          There is a great plugin for chrome called Nofollow which outlines nofollow links  and also detects nofollow and noindex robots meta tags on webpages.

          It automatically adds a dotted line round any links which are no followed, as you can see in the screen shot below on Gary's link.

            Hey!

            The MozBar allows you to see the followed links on the actual page itself. If you hit the Pencil icon, and choose 'Followed', the MozBar will overlay all followed links on a page with a highlight.

            Does that solve you problem?

            Thanks!

            Jon

                Ahh I sent you a link to a site that explores those links and creates a list, I thought you needed it to build a list.

                The tool I use for my browser is SearchStatus by Quirk, its for firefox and it does some amazing stuff

                      Hi Jon

                      Thanks for your response. The MOZ bar seems to work weirdly for me:

                      There are certain links on my page that are present in Javascript, and are not being crawled - they don't show up in the source code, and I also checked the same using Screaming frog.

                      These links are relatively low importance, and I don't want the search engines to crawl them, which is why I'm fine with them being left in Javascript.

                      The pencil icon in the Moz Bar highlights, and shows these links as 'followed internal links'. Not sure if this is how it should be - should these not be detected at all (they are present in unparsable JS, and do not show up in the source code either!)

                      Look forward to your response here.

                      Regards
