Find all the back links to all the posts/pages within the blog subdirectory only.
-
Hi, I am new to Moz. I using the open site explorer to find backlinks for a website's blog. The website itself is huge. I want to find all the backlinks to all the posts/pages within the blog subdirectory only. Not the regular website. I ran a few reports, but it is giving me links to that page, not all the sub pages.Fi

Hi Darren
In order to view backlinks to a specific sub-folder or directory you will need to use the advanced report feature to filter the results. Here is a screenshot of the settings: http://www.screencast.com/t/qeit2kc2
You also want to makes sure to end your URL with a trailing slash, however you will only find links to pages in that immediate sub-folder.
So if your URL is domain.com/blog/
The your results will show links that are finding pages within /blog/ and not /blog/other/
If you need to go deeper then you would run the same report with /blog/other/ as the search URL.
Let me know if this helps!

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. When I use open site explorer it shows only links to the URL or links to the entire domain. How can I see links only within a certain directory?

Go to opensiteexplorer to explore your page or website linkprofile.Its quite simple to use.Add the the directory URL in search bar and press enter.
Export report and sort data like you need.

Campaign in subdirectory
Hi. I have a main site under the TLD and Moz sucessfully scans all URL's under that domain including for a subfolder on the domain. However, I have also set up a campaign for the subdirectory as it is effectively a seperate site (let's say it's like an ecommerce site with a blog is a subfolder). Moz crawls the main campaign on the TLD including the subfolder correctly (I was previously told you cannot exclude a subfolder), but it does not scan any URL's beyond the top one in the subfolder campaign (I was told this setup was OK) Any ideas why the subfolder does not get crawled by Moz?

301/302 header
Hi,
Moz Bar | | 12tix
I changed from http to https with SSL certificate and have added the following code in my htaccess: RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] But Moz returns a:
Temporary Redirect
Using HTTP header refreshes, 302, 303, or 307 redirects will cause search engine crawlers to treat the redirect as temporary and not pass any link equity to other pages. We highly recommend that you replace temporary redirects with 301 redirect And additional header checkers return a 302 also when I check http://www.mysitesurl.com/:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 09:31:18 GMT
Server => Apache/2
Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/
Content-Length => 214
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Anybody an idea why there is no 301 result? Thanks1 -
Is there a tool that works like crawl test that allows more than 3000 pages?
I enjoy using crawl test inside moz but I need to find a way to crawl all the pages on a site. It would probably be in the neighborhood of 10,000 urls. Does anyone know of a free tool and if not is there a paid tool that will do this?

Internal Links Count in Crawl Report
My understanding of the 'Internal Links' results in a moz crawl report is that it represents the number of links on the given page that link to other pages on the same site.Assuming this is a correct assumption: We recently ran a crawl report on www.phase1tech.com. Some of the pages are coming back with a large amount of 'internal links'. These 2 pages for example are showing 800 internal links: http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events
Moz Bar | | AISEO
http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact Then there are a number of pages coming back with 705 Internal Links, including: http://www.phase1tech.com/Dalsa-CameraLink-Cameras
http://www.phase1tech.com/Hitachi-CameraLink-Cameras At best there are approximately 70-80 links on these pages. Where are these large counts coming from? Is there a means to see what the links being reported on are? At the same time the 'Too Many On-Page Links' indicates 'No' for some pages with a high number of links, and 'Yes' for pages with a low number of links. For example: http://www.phase1tech.com/Baumer-SX-Series
Too Many On-Page Links: Yes
Internal Links: 2
