Get number of OUTBOUND link from a domain ??

[AutoEurope]

Hello

I´m doing some link profile audit and I noticed that there are some data that would be nice to know for a proper evaluation. The case is the following:

Imagine I have a link coming from a blog, so (besides other factors) would be really great to know how many external links follow-nofollow this blog has. I dont mean external links pointing to them (what opensite gives you), what I would like to know is the total number of links this blog has pointing to other external websites.

With this data, I would be able to guess in a better way if this blog is selling links or if is spammy.  I would be able to know also how this blog/domain distributes its link juice and if the link gives me some value or if is dangerous.

I have found some tools/sites but i just get the number of links a specific url has, not the domain info: Screaming frog (but the free version gives you almost nothing, link count checker, etc... )

Do you know any way to get this data in a domain level?

You think this data would be important to decide about keeping a link or taking it out?

Why none of the powerful tools of the market (opensite, majestic, etc...) provide this info?

Many thanks for your help

Hi,

this goes indeed pretty deep, but its perfectly possible with an extra little tool which you already mentioned. The paid version of Screaming Frog gives you a lot of information, and with a little digging it gives you perfect outbound link profiles of sites. but a lot of data needs to be crawled so thats why you need the paid version.

Hi

Thanks a lot for your answer. I will try to convince my manager to get the paid version LOL.

What is pretty strange is that this metric (in my humble opinion) could be very important to identify spammy blogs or pages but it seems that nobody uses it.

Thanks a lot

Yes it can surely pinpoint more powerfull link opportunities vs the spammy ones, but to be honest, for each link this will cost you a lot of time. i think a good mix of great links with a few one on spammy sites which are not clearly super spammy (else you see it with your plain eye aswell) is not that horrible.

The paid version of Screaming Frog is pretty much the Swiss Army knife of SEO tools and should be in every practitioner's toolbox, but if you need a free tool right away (I know only too well how long purchase approvals can take ) XENU Link Sleuth will provide the outgoing link profile as well.

Do note with either of these tools though, that you are putting additional load on the receiving site's server. Be courteous by dialing back the crawling speed of the tool, and doing the crawl during off-traffic hours in order to minimize your effect on the other site. (Good advice even when crawling your own site too)
