I love playing with visualizing tools because they allow to see what you might have missed exploring a table or a graph. This time I have compiled the list of tools that show various outlinking tactics and characteristics.
1. SearchStatus or SEOquake FireFox extensions both visualize on-page nofollow attribute usage by highlighting (or striking through) links that use rel=”nofollow”:
2. Iwebtool Visual PageRank (as the name suggests) visualizes on-page internal toolbar PageRank distribution plus it shows external links and links using rel=”nofollow”:
3. Web Developer FireFox extension allows to visualize each link full address and properties and also (linked) images alternative text:
4. Link Evaluator (or a similar one: LinkChecker) visualizes each linked page header status (to allow you find broken links for example):
5. Crazy Egg visualizes on-page links click-through by showing a “heat map” (overall on-page links popularity) or a “confetti” (on-page link popularity depending on the referral):
