      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.

                              Understanding Redirects and Canonical Tags in SEO: A Complex Case

                              technical seo canonical redirects seo link building

                              Hi everyone, nothing serious here, i'm just playing around doing my experiments 🙂
                              but if any1 of you guys understand this chaos and what was the issue here, i'd appreciate if you try to explain it to me. I had a page "Linkaufbau" on my website at https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau. My .htaccess file contains only basic SEO stuff: # removed ".html" using htaccess RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.html\ HTTP RewriteRule (.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L] # internally added .html if necessary RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ RewriteRule (.*) $1\.html [L] # removed "index" from directory index pages RewriteRule (.*)/index$ $1/ [R=301,L] # removed trailing "/" if not a directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$ RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301,L] # Here’s the first redirect: RedirectPermanent /index / My first three questions: Why do I need this rule? Why must this rule be at the top? Why isn't this handled by mod_rewrite? Now to the interesting part: I moved the Linkaufbau page to the SEO folder: https://chriseo.de/seo/linkaufbau and set up the redirect accordingly: RedirectPermanent /linkaufbau /seo/linkaufbau.html I deleted the old /linkaufbau page. I requested indexing for /seo/linkaufbau in the Google Search Console. Once the page was indexed, I set a canonical to the old URL: <link rel="canonical" href="https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau"> Then I resubmitted the sitemap and requested indexing for /seo/linkaufbau again, even though it was already indexed. Due to the canonical tag, the page quickly disappeared. I then requested indexing for /linkaufbau and /linkaufbau.html in GSC (the old, deleted page). After two days, both URLs were back in the serps:: https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau.html this is the new page /seo/linkaufbau
                              b14ee095-5c03-40d5-b7fc-57d47cf66e3b-grafik.png This is the old page /linkaufbau
                              242d5bfd-af7c-4bed-9887-c12a29837d77-grafik.png Both URLs are now in the search results and all rankings are significantly better than before for keywords like: organic linkbuilding linkaufbau kosten linkaufbau service natürlicher linkaufbau hochwertiger linkaufbau organische backlinks linkaufbau strategie linkaufbau agentur Interestingly, both URLs (with and without .html) redirect to the new URL https://chriseo.de/seo/linkaufbau, which in turn has a canonical pointing to https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau (without .html). In the SERPs, when https://chriseo.de/linkaufbau is shown, my new, updated snippet is displayed. When /linkaufbau.html is shown, it displays the old, deleted page that had already disappeared from the index. I have now removed the canonical tag. I don't fully understand the process of what happened and why. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful. Best regards,
                              Chris

                              Solved Moz Link Explorer slow to find external links

                              link explorer crawl backlinks external links

                              I have a site with 48 linking domains and 200 total links showing in Google Search Console. These are legit and good quality links. Since creating a campaign 2 months ago, Moz link explorer for the same site only shows me 2 linking domains and 3 total links. I realise Moz cannot crawl with the same speed and depth as Google but this is poor performance for a premium product and doesn't remotely reflect the link profile of the domain. Is there a way to submit a sitemap or list of links to Moz for the purpose of crawling and adding to Link Explorer?

                              Hi, I run a tree surgery business - woodfeldertreecare.co.uk We're based in Manchester, UK. A few days ago I was called by Premium Domain Names who convinced me that buying treesurgeonsmanchester.com and treesurgerymanchester.com and redirecting them to our main site would be amazing for organic traffic. My designer and an SEO friend both reckon this was a waste of money and reckon I've been scammed. Any thoughts? Please help.

                              Should I keep my existing site or start new?

                              redirects urlredirect optimization site structure business

                              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?

                              I'm hoping I came to the right forum. Is there a way in Moz to view a prospective ad source's traffic?

                              Unsolved Anyone else finding that the Link Intersection tool is not accurate?

                              link building link tracking list link intersect tool

                              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?
