      Hi,

      Does Moz report on broken links to external sites? I've only seen the crawl return broken links relating to internal links.

      Any info much appreciated.

      Thanks, Mary

          While Moz specializes in on-page SEO and link analysis, for identifying broken links pointing to external sites, consider dedicated tools or services designed for this purpose for reading test.

              Moz’s Site Crawl feature typically focuses on internal links and issues within your own domain rather than checking for broken links on external sites1. If you’re specifically looking to identify broken links pointing to external sites like https://smilevegasdental.com/ , you might want to consider using other tools or services that are designed for this purpose.

              Tools like “Broken Link Check” or “Online Broken Link Checker” allow you to input a URL, and they will scan the webpage for broken links, including external ones1.

                    Hi Mary,

                    Just to clarify, this answer is based on the premise that you want to find hyperlinks on your site that lead to a different domain, but are broken?

                    For example, yoursite.com/page has a hyperlink to othersite.com/page-2 but that othersite.com/page-2 URL returns a 404 status code.

                    Without a doubt the best tool to use here would be Screaming Frog. The tool is free to use to crawl up to 500 URLs. Otherwise it's £149 (from memory) for a year's licence.

                    It might seem daunting to use but it is relatively straight forward. They have great documentation on how to find broken links on your website, and their support team is excellent.

                    I'm not affiliated with Screaming Frog in anyway btw 😂

                    If you need any further assistance feel free to chuck your website in here, or DM me (I think you can do that here). I can compile a list of broken external URLs for you if you like.

                    Cheers,
                    Stefan

                      Moz, a leading company in the field of search engine optimization (SEO) and digital marketing, has not conveyed any plans to close or halt its operations on a distinct website such as the uk49s Teatime Results Menu. However, it's crucial to recognize that business circumstances and strategies can change, and the information I have may not capture the most recent updates.

                        @rj_dale Moz primarily focuses on providing insights into on-page SEO, link analysis, and other aspects related to a website's visibility and performance in search engines. Moz's Site Crawl feature typically focuses on internal links and issues within your own domain rather than checking for broken links on external sites.

                        If you're specifically looking to identify broken links pointing to external sites, you might want to consider using other tools or services that are designed for this purpose. Here are a few alternatives:

                        Online Broken Link Checkers:

                        Tools like "Broken Link Check" or "Online Broken Link Checker" allow you to input a URL, and they will scan the webpage for broken links, including external ones.
                        Google Search Console:

                        Google Search Console can provide information about external links leading to your site. However, it won't directly report on broken links on external sites.
                        Browser Extensions:

                        Some browser extensions, like Check My Links for Google Chrome, can help you quickly identify broken links on a webpage, including external ones.
                        Third-Party Link Checking Tools:

                        Tools like Screaming Frog SEO Spider or Ahrefs can be configured to check for broken external links on your website.

                              Absolutely! Backlinks play a crucial role in SEO as they are like 'votes of confidence' from other websites. They indicate to search engines that your content is valuable and trustworthy. Moz's link analysis tools, such as 'Link Explorer,' provide insights into a website's backlink profile. This includes information about the number of backlinks, referring domains, spam score, and anchor text distribution.

                              I have a website with less than 3K visits a year. Only customers with an Account with me who have login credentials can see my product pricing and make a purchase onsite; therefore, indexing/page ranking is not a concern for me. My agency suggests that my product catalog be corrected to a parent/child relationship. Currently, each product variation has its own SKU and PDP. As a result, product findability: Site Search, Categorization, and Facets are a mess. Is there any way I can keep my current URL (branding purposes)? I thought we could delete all pages (PLPs & PDPs) and create all new and enforce 301 redirects. Thoughts?

                              we have a lot of 404s to subfolders. Eg
                              www.website.com/blog-post-title/imagename/
                              www.website.com/blog-post-title/author/ We don't have these subfolders or blog posts anymore.
                              How do i redirect them? These links (404s) don't seem to have any value or backlinks. Thanks,
                              Stef

                              I ran the Link Intersect tool on my site vs competitor's site. The first 3 domains it tells me the competitor has links from but I do not are: medium.com, behance.net, and moz.com. I thought this was odd because I know for a fact I built profiles with a link on all 3 sites. So, I went to all 3 and found my links on these sites. I also double-checked in the Google search console and they show up there. Am I understanding the tool wrong? Is it really showing me sites we both have vs what I don't have?

                              Footer External Links

                              technical seo footer external links

                              I manage a collection of 3 travel websites with DA's in 50's and 60's and have launched a new site which currently has a DA of 35. Currently there are no links between sites in the footer. Adding a footer link to new site from the existing stronger sites will be relevant to users on those sites. How would Google treat such footer links - we would be talking about a link from 5000+ pages from 3 sites?
                              Would it help us on the new site? Damage the new site?
                              Could it impact negatively on the currently strong websites? Thanks
