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!

Keyword Difficulty Tool Full Reports - Are they correct?
Hello SEOMOZ Community I hope you can answer my following question. I’ve used the Keyword Difficulty and SERPS to analyse why my competitors seem to be higher than me in the SERPS for a certain keyword. The only problem I can see when I’ve done the full report is that our website has no internal links to the page we are trying to rank for, however when I go into Google webmasters tools it’s stating we have over 99,000 links. Can you please let me know why this is showing in the report? Many Thanks Matt

Where is the keyword difficulty tool data sourced from?
I also use Market Samurai, and I've noticed what seem to be big discrepancies with the keyword data presented by this (data comes from Majestic SEO) and the Keyword Difficulty Tool. To take just one example, I analyze the term "how to remove tea stains" In the Keyword Difficulty Tool, this returns the following: Root Domain Linking Root Domains: 2,233 Page Linking Root Domains: 4 When I use Market Samurai, however, the data returned is: RDD (Domains linking to this domain): 19,911 RDP (Domains linking to this page): 19 I thought that these two metrics were the same for both tools, but I've written them out in case someone sees a difference. As I say, Market Samurai data is sourced from Majestic SEO - a reputable SEO company - but I have no idea where the Keyword Difficulty Tool data is from, nor why these differences are so pronounced? Are they indeed the same metrics in both cases, or am I missing something? Any insight would be much appreciated.
