No internal followed links
-
My site shows no internal followed links in OSE, but each page on my site has internal links, including to the domain itself - jonnyt.me.
Any idea why this might be and how I could fix it?
-
Thanks Greg, can't find any links that point to http://jonnyt.me/index.html now, think these were old links I had. Thanks for the advice!

No no...
Don't redirect all your links, just do it once to one URL
Redirect To
Once you have redirected, jonnyt.me/index.html wont load, but instead will redirect to jonnyt.me
If you know of any links that are pointing to "jonnyt.me/index.html" change them to point to "jonnyt.me "
If you cant find any, dont worry about it, when google or a user clicks on jonnyt.me/index.html, they will be taken to the correct page.
I hope this makes more sense.

Thanks for that Greg - so you recommend redirecting all links to the root domain? Any chance you could explain why that's good - sorry, I'm new around here!

That makes it even more complicated... Well spotted Martijn
Based on were the majority of your links are currently pointing, you need to choose which to go with and redirect the other.
These are duplications which you need to sort out. (I suggest redirecting jonnyt.me/index.html to jonnyt.me/)

Hi
You do in-fact have internal Followed links and its just a matter of changing the "pages to" field in OSE
Dont ask me why, but when choosing "to this page" nothing gets displayed. When you choose "pages on this root domain" all internal links are displayed.
The selection that works includes all variations of URL's that point to jonnyt.me and not just URL's pointing to jonnyt.me in that makes any sense..
Show > ALL > from > ONLY INTERNAL > to > PAGES ON THIS ROOT DOMAIN >

Hi Jon,
It looks like to me the Roger Mozbot didn't' scrape your complete site but just a couple of pages. So that's why some pages don't show up in OSE as internal followed links. However, I found this URL in OSE which seems to show a number of internal followed links.
So I won't stress to much about itHope this helps!

What does google think about legit link exchanges where one is follow and one is no follow?
Hi Experts! Here is my Question for you. I am doing a link exchange in a legit way to increase sales for my site and my associate's site. My associate just wants a sales increase and no link juice. He has a very low DA so I want to give him a no follow link. Is it suspicious of fishy that I give a no follow link and receive a followed link in return? Please let me know how to proceed, I don't want to take any changes. Can you tell me the best way to proceed with this link exchange? Thanks

Indirect Link Earning via dofollow Links In News Articles
Hello, MOZ SEO Gurus. I've been trying to think some deep thoughts on safe, effective link earning for news publishing sites, and wanted to run this up the flagpole and see if you salute. Our site is a biotech news service -- we pump out copious amounts of news content each day, which works well for driving traffic. That being said, we also want to rank some optimized landing pages as well. Take, for example, this page, which we'd like to rank for "secondary progressive MS" and related keywords: http://bionews-tx.com/secondary-progressive-ms/ Now, as far as I'm concerned, shopping this page around to MS influencers isn't easy. I can go to Foundational websites, blogs, etc., and say, "hey, we have this info page on SPMS, and I thought that you might find it helpful/want to link to it." But chances are, the MS influencers already have their own proprietary content on SPMS, and there isn't much value to linking to it. Therefore, I think that we'll get few link earning conversions on the effort. However, what if I take our Secondary Progressive MS landing page, and I link to it in a corresponding article about SPMS research, as I did here: http://bionews-tx.com/news/2014/01/30/secondary-progressive-ms-natalizumab-clinical-trial/ Then, I go to the drug developer who is at the center of this story and say to them, "hey, we recently covered your drug in the news, and I thought you might want to link to it." Then, we get a link from an MS drug developer to the news article, which in turn has a prominent anchor text, dofollow internal link to the landing page for SPMS. If the link from the drug developer is dofollow, then we flow page rank juice from the drug developer page to our news page to our landing page. To me, it's much easier to earn safe links this way than to try and shop the landing page itself. That being said, if we get a dofollow link on the news piece, we only get a diminished portion of page rank going to the landing page. Is this strategy viable? Is the indirect flow of page rank from a linking site to a news article to a landing page even worth it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Any benefits to having Wikipedia links now they are 'no-followed' (apart from traffic and natural link prof.)
I see that Wikipedia outbound links are all no-followed, is there any benefit (aside from the traffic) for having links here now ? For example is their co-citation and co-occurance benefits. I know there is without the links since from seeing previous Moz content about this saying Google getting good at connecting brand/s and topic mentions on a page (without any links) so appreciate Wikipedia is still good for that sort of thing. And a no-followed link is obviously good for the potential traffic. But is there any additional SEO benefit to having a no followed link on a wikipedia entry/stub too ? (aside from its contribution to your no-followed links which in turn contribute to a natural looking link profile) Cheers Dan

Pursuing Links on Sites You Have a Link From
Is it a bad idea to spend resources to get a second link from a site that already links to you? It seems like the marginal value of each additional link is much smaller than the first link.

Blog traffic / link ratio? (Esimated of how much traffic will result in a link)
Hi, Was wondering if people could please tell me some estimates of how much traffic is likely to gain links to a blog post? For example 1,000 hits = 1 link, Hence 10,000 hits = 10 links to a blog post? I understand there is no magic ratio I just want to know what people have achieved. I’m after averages not just a one off really successful blog post too. Please specify the topic you achieve this in e.g. SEO, photography, business, heath... etc.

Back Link: Is LinkedIn keywords in profile good Link building strategy?
I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn. I listed the products I sell and I could have all my partners and associates list my web site on their profiles. Do search engines review LinkedIn personal profiles or company profiles and is it a good marketing strategy to have my web site, keywords, and my two largest selling products on LinkedIn?
