Internal links not showing in Open Site Explorer
-
So I'm working on a law firm site and looking at the links for pages in OSE. For practice areas, the links to each practice area are in the left hand menu on every page of the site. Can anyone help me with this question:
Example: http://www.comitzlaw.com/personal-injury/car-accidents.html
When I plug this URL into OSE, it only shows one linking page, www.comitzlaw.com/practice-areas.html, yet there is a link to this on every other page in the site.
When I plug in a random competitors page, www.lesagelblaw.com/Personal-Injury-Overview/Car-Accidents.shtml, it does show all the internal pages linking to it.
Since I'm not using a flash menu or javascript, any ideas as to why no internal links are showing up in OSE? Even when I plug in the main URL for the home page, it only shows 4 other internal pages linking to it, yet there is a link on every page. What am I doing wrong?

good to here, I did not know that, i guess they just dont have the processing power to dig that deep, unlike Bing and Google

Emailed and got a response. The site was originally built a while back using many tables for positioning and the main nav links were deep in nested tables. Thought this may be the problem, so I converted site to all divs. Ran a crawl test and noticed all pages have page authority now (used to be only the home page) so looks like we have a fix.

This is probably one to email to the help desk staff at help@seomoz.org and ask them directly. So sorry you're seeing problems!

I had a look at your code and i cant see anything wrong, maybe a seomoz staffer will answer.

I've been adding external links for the past month and one new directory link that was approved on 9/23 showed up in last week's update (although there were plenty of others that were indeed approved and do show up for competitors). It's the internal links not showing up that worry me. Those have existed for months.

OSE only updates about once a month, di you only recently add links?

How important are Internal Equity-Passing Links in rankings?
Hi,I ran opensite explorer of a customer site: www.enviosadomicilio.com and compared it with the most ranked competence sites. In almost all the factor enviosadomicilio.com has the best scores, except in Internal Equity-Passing Links. The competence has aprox 20K Equity links and another 2K meanwhile enviosadomicilio.com only have 296. Do you think that factor could be the reason that enviosadomicilio.com are in ranking 15th while the competence in 1st and 3rd?. How could we get Internal-Passing Links?, we don´t have a lot of products or categories in the site. Thanks a lot.

Total External Links
Hi There, I'm looking at my link profile and my Total External Links dropped uber dramatically back in April. Any way to figure out what the heck happened? My only idea is that this was around the time we launched a new version of the website but I'm not sure it corresponds exactly and anyway the domain didn't change. Possibly some urls did but all have been redirected. Any ideas? Thanks, site is www.nationalpardon.org

Site Explorer shows links as followable but they have nofollow tags
Hello, I am looking at site explorer and sites linking to my site moneyfact.co.uk. I've got thousands of links showing as 'followable' but when i check them they have rel="nofollow" tags. e.g: http://www.dianomioffers.co.uk/partner/moneyfacts.co.uk/brochures.epl?partner=93&partner_id=93&partner_variant_id=33 Why would they show as followable when the links are nofollowed? Thanks Steve

"Loading" error in Open Site Explorer
The "top pages" keeps hanging while trying to retrieve social metrics "FB Shares" "Tweets" and "Google +1". I've tried in Chrome and Firefox. Can I just turn these off? ose-hanging.jpg

What is the correlation between the SEOMOZ PR number and where my site is showing up in an organic search?
For years, our company placed 3 or 4 in an organic search on Google for the keyword I am inquiring about. A couple of months ago, we went down to number 15. I then subscribed to SEOMOZ and began a concerted effort to improve our ranking for this keyword. Slowly, our listing came up higher in searches and on our reports- back onto the first page #8. Our weekly SEOMOZ reports reflected this improvement, but then it dropped down again to page 2, #11. My most recent report, this week, gave us a PR 8 for this keyword, but our listing is showing upon page 2, #11. I do have my personal search and browser history disabled. I am unclear as to why there is this discrepancy.

Alexa Ranking Sites
I found these two sites giving my competitor link juice: http://www.webnamelist.com/alexa/Alexa_186.html http://www.list-of-domains.org/alexa/Alexa_185.html I have seen these sites before and I just dont get why they are authoritative. The funny thing is I did a search for my competitors link on the page and its not showing up, is this a problem in site explorer? Why is site explorer mentioning these sites as my competitions best links when these links do not exist on their site?

Site Ranking Report
Hi guys, My site ranking report says that I've gone from being 1-20 for a variety of keywords in Google UK to not in the top 50. When I do a search myself I see that my site remains where it previously was (between 1-20). How reliable is the site ranking reporting on a weekly basis? Is it best to look at it monthly?

OpenSiteExplorer is not seeing all my inbound links
I know I have back links to my site from about 5 or 6 websites and most of them even show in my Google webmaster account but according to OSE I only have 1 inbound link. Is it normal for the OSE stats to be wrong? I really want to use it but am worried the info isn't going to be accurate.
