      Is there any type of tool that can monitor a large website's outgoing links? I'm dealing with a huge site and was hoping there was something available that could check outgoing links without having to go through each page manually. (I'm looking to remove anything that links to a bad neighborhood). Thanks.

        If you're looking for something that you can run manually to get a list of outgoing links and their location (Which you could then use as a clean up list), you could consider Xenu Link Sleuth or Screaming Frog. I prefer Xenu, if only because it's what I've always used.

        In Xenu, once you run the crawl, sort the link addresses alphabetically and you should be able to scroll down past your internal links until it starts showing links to external domains. Right clicking on the link and hitting "URL properties" will show you the pages that the link is on.

        I am not familiar with anything that would run continuously or automatically, but that's not to say something doesn't exist.
