Are there any tools out there that can crawl a few inner pages of a site and report all the external links?

Edit: Like something that a VA can handle? Not ScrapeBox where I need to transfer the license and start training. We are Mac users. I was hoping there was a feature in my Majestic account or something web based.

Scrapebox can do this with their external internal/external tool. You'll need to either have the internal links that you need to crawl, or do two crawls to accomplish this.

I'm pretty sure Xenu Link Sleuth does this too. Scrapebox is great and all, but Xenu is free ;)
 
This ScrapeBox addon will http://www.scrapebox.com/internal-and-external-link-extractor

Also on the main GUI you can use Grab/Check >> Grab links by crawling a site, and get the list of internal pages of the domain to use in the link extractor addon.

Edit: SuperLinks beat me to it. :)

Damn, nice to see you around Sweetfunny.

I may use my Scrapebox license, but I am trying to save time by avoiding training my assistant on it. They use Mac.

I'm surprised Majestic doesn't have a feature. I can't find anything web-based. Again, we are Mac users, so looking for a web solution.

You can do this with Ahrefs, but it's obviously not real time where as Scrapebox can offer real time external link lists. It's honestly so easy with Scrapebox that you could train your VA to do it in 10 min. However your VA will need enough bandwidth to support crawling.
 
You could get a vps with scrapebox on so you don't have to transfer license every now and then. Getting an additional license is easy.
 
Would screaming frog do the job?

It can crawl your site, and you can check in the crawl settings to crawl external links?
 
hey,mate,I think the other hand, the number of external links is important for your SEO ranking.
 
Ahrefs can do that and it's web-based. You also don't need any VA, because it's straightforward.

Scrapebox is the best tool to exact external links. Try it
 
Integrity (Xenu like for Mac), Semrush too (404 list).
