How to filter by number of posts

I just found out that besides my contextual post, there are other thousands of other posts by other people, some of the sites have even more than 100k posts. As far as i know the link juice will be divided to all the links so websites with many posts are useless,is there any way to filter by external links/posts? And another thing, gsa shows very few external links, fewer than 50 but these sites have a lot more than that as i said. Why?

    External links are links going out to other websites!
    The number of posts (those 100k posts you're talking about) is the total number of pages a website has. It's a different thing man...
    First, google about external links / outbound links and understand the difference between external links and total number of pages.

    Every page has an external link so it should be number of pages = number of external links. Can you explain me what's the difference between external links and total number of pages because if i google external links i won't find that difference.

    Maybe an example would help you.

    Www.domain.com/my-new-bike.html has 10 links:
    - 2 of them are www.domain.com and www.domain.com/about.html. These 2 are called internal links.
    - The other 8 links are links like www.domain1.com .. www.domain8.com (these are other websites!). These are called external links, or outbound links.

    The number of pages is exactly what it is..how many pages a website has.

    Do you see the difference now? I can't make it more clear than that..

    Why gsa says there are so few external links when there are so many posts and 99% of them have links since are made with gsa, this is what i don't understand.

    For example this website (http://www.hiverse.com/) has 2848 pages with 15 articles/posts on each page and each post has 1 or more links so you'll get very little link juice from it.

    That website is an Article Script (engine), here's an example of a BuddyPress (http://www.scootergoods.com/groups/), it has 14606 groups/posts, there are probably more than 20k links from all that posts but in gsa it says it has only 6 external links (http://i.imgur.com/RGfjVUW.png). Pretty much every minute a new post appears on this site, a link from this kind of sites don't hold much juice.

    Any way to filter for sites with fewer posts?

    I managed to understand what the external links gsa is showing are, they are the external links of that certain url not the external links of the full website. I scanned the url for external links with an online tool (http://smallseotools.com/website-links-count-checker/) and the number of external links it finds is exactly as gsa found too but the problem is that i can't manually find all the links, some of them are hidden in the website code?

    andreig03  To check the total amount of internal or external links you'd need to put all of your target sites in Xenu or Screaming Frog, which takes about 10 minutes to hours per website.

    I honestly wouldn't bother. Even if you find a small site with a low amount of internal and external links, the probability of it getting spammed to death in the near future is pretty high. 

    The best way to avoid this as much as possible is by scraping your own lists.
