I'm looking for good outbound link profiling tool...

[A_Q]

Hello all,

Just a brief question... does anybody know of a good link profiling tool which will give me a list of URLs that are linked to from a specific website?

Essentially, I'm looking for the polar opposite of OpenSiteExplorer as I'm not interested in the inbound links, only the outbound links.

Thanks,

Elias

There are several tools you can use. Here are a few:

SEOquake is a toolbar for Firefox that gives you a list of outbound links and tons of other parameters

SEOchat has a link analyzer tool that checks internal and outbound links

Linkvendor also has an outbound link analysis tool

Hope this helps!

Go to Bing.com

Put:

linkfromdomain:yourwebsite.com

into the search box.

The obvious drawback is that Bing's index isn't very quick to update ...especially for sites with little authority.  But it's still handy for a quick check, rather than crawling the target website.

Cheers guys, I'll give these a go.

You can also consider using Xenu's Link Sleuth, which can then crawl a website and provide you a list of any/all external links. This tool will essentially provide a complete list of outbound links from a website, not just from one page.

Yeah, this is what we've ended up doing. Thanks for all of the responses.

Screaming Frog also works great, and is easier to use than Xenu's IMO.

Marty, thanks for mentioning Screaming Frog. I actually love it. I usually have it running pretty much every day, doing something or the other. It however does not give an easy way to identify the outgoing links for the website I am crawling. Is there a specific setting I am unaware of ?
