What does the "Internal Links" data in the Keyword Difficulty SERP report represent?

Hey Rich-
I looked over the domain. You should get rid of the /index.htm reference in your code. I'm seeing this in your footer nav. Further, you should add a 301 redirect in your htaccess file so /index.htm just points to your root domain. That will help clean it up in the engines and will be reflected in OSE.
The fact that /index.htm IS showing in OSE would explain why the internal link figure on the root is 0; it's just robbing your stats.
Once you redirect and educate OSE on the link you really want you'll be golden. Plus... you won't keep losing link juice through that footer link.
Let me know how it works out!

Would you share or message the domain - I'm happy to take a look.

Thanks. I’m just wondering why my domain would show 0 Internal Links in this report when there are definitely internal links on the pages in this domain.
Also, I can view them in OSE (but not for the xxxx.com designation – they do show for xxxx.com/index.htm).
Could this be related to a crawl error – “duplicate content” identified for xxxx.com and xxxx.com/index.htm?

Hey Rich-
Internal Links are links on your domain that point to other links on your domain. For example:
This is different than External Links which are links from other domains that point to yours.
externaldomain.com/services.html -> yourdomain.com/about.html
Hope that helps!
John

Feedback on Content Ideation / "Skyscraper" Spreadsheet Template
Hi All - I've been getting a ton of use out of the MOZ API for discovering the popularity of content - which I'm using for content ideation or to implement the Skyscraper concept. I built a spreadsheet template that combines MOZ with some other APIs to apply this to new topics of my choosing, and my friends encouraged me to clean it up a bit and share with the broader community. So, here it is - fire away! I'd love any and all feedback about the spreadsheet - it's a prototype still so it could stand to pull back more results. For example: would you want to include Domain Authority in the results? Focus more or less on the social sharing elements - or let you choose the thresholds? Would love to know if there other methodologies for which you'd be interested in seeing spreadsheet templates produced. Cheers! skyscraper-template.png

Links being reported in Webmaster Tools
Hi Are the Total Links To Your Site, as reported in GWT, purely external inbound links ? Since these links are usually, as far as i can tell, much higher in number than any other link reporting tool and hence, i presume, more accurate, why don't services such as Moz etc include this in reporting ? I know its just a total number and link quality is whats important not quantity, but i would have thought interesting to show in reporting in conjunction with link quality info such as is already reported. Since most backlink reporting tools do show a total but always much much lower than that reported in gwt (i think) All Best Dan

Keyword Ranking Report: does the organic traffic data take into account visitors logged into Google?
Hi there In Google Analytics, if a visitor to your website is logged into Google at the time of searching, the referral keyword is registered as 'unknown'. So, I am curious as to how the traffic data for any given keyword in my campaign is calculated? Thanks Laurie

Why does the Keyword Difficulty Tool shows no Search Volume?
I've run a full report in many keywords on the Keyword Difficulty Tool, but in the Search Volume field all of them have the message "not enough data". Screenshot attached. Why is that? I have keywords like "magnesium" that popular and have quite some traffic. Any help is appreciated, thanks! semoz-keywords-analytics.jpg

Are organic site links excluded in the rankings report?
If I'm pulling a rankings report for a specific subdomain and a different subdomain appears at the main result and the specific subdomain is a site link beneath it, does that show up in the results? It doesn't seem to in my report.

Way to Avoid Local Results in Keyword Difficulty Tool
I'm trying to use the Keyword Difficulty Tool to research some keywords. However, I keep getting local Seattle results in the SERPs. For example, if I search for "guitar lessons". At least 4 of the 10 results seem to be Seattle based (I guess because of SEOMoz ip addresses). Is there a way to eliminate local results?
