Can i get a list of internal and external links from moz?
-
My issue is that i have 133k external links and 730k total links. And from what i've read on the forums this means that we have about 597k internal links (730k total links minus 133k external links). And this seems like HUGE number of internal links. I somehow think it might be affecting our seo rankings as it might look like some "fishy" practice to Google.
So in the graphs i can see that this number of total links has actually risen from 400k to 700k in the past months.. And since our external link count hasn't changed that much it means the number of internal links has grown a lot. So my idea is to check what are these internal links so I can better understand where they come from.
Can anyone explain how come we have such a HUGE number of internal links? And more importnantly how can we see a list of these internal links so we could possibly rectify this and check if all is in order?
I am adding a screnshot to give better insight

Hi,
So it sounds like you have ~20 internal links per page, which is not unreasonable and shouldn't be a point of concern.
However, if you are still worried, then I'd worry less about finding a specific list of links to dig into - at this scale that likely won't be very helpful or actionable.
I'd recommend that you reviewed the "Top Pages" report in OSE to see which pages have a large bulk of links. Then I'd do a review of the internal site architecture looking at the major elements (top and side navigation, footer links, any dynamic menu systems) and see whether there are places just to tighten that up a little. You can use what you learnt from the 'top pages' report to help inform this review.
However, as I said - I'd certainly not feel you need to go overboard unless you have additional reasons to think that this might be a problem.
Good luck!

I thought about that also but its not the case.. when i try that i get around 30k indexed pages in google
-
go to google and search for:
site:domain.comyou get all indexed pages. i think that is what he means.

Hi Sajeet ..what do you mean by "Just check site: data and see if the number approximately matches the number of internal links data." where do i check that?

Hi,
For getting data related to internal links, you can select the URL filter and select contains -"Your domain name". Since we get target URL as well we can get data related to internal links.
In most of the cases, such a huge number of internal links results from top navigation or footers that are spread across all the pages of the website. In such cases I would not worry. Just check site: data and see if the number approximately matches the number of internal links data.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sajeet

Of course. the moz tool Open Site Explorer is perfect for that! And also the fresh web explorer is a great tool as well to find the newest links to you or to your competitor.
For more info checkout this video on the OSE tool.

External links cannot be found
HI, we have a relatively new website, and we know that there are a couple of external links to this site. But in Moz and in KWfinder, it says that there are no backlinks. We do not use robot.txt or noindex, and we have no clue how to make crawlers find the external links so that our DA will be enhanced. Anyone a solution? Marielle

Potential internal links issue
From the competitive domain analysis, it looks like our site only has 1 internal link because there is only one more “total link” than “total external links”. However, I am quite sure that we have many more internal links on our site, including breadcrumbs throughout the product pages. What am I missing here? One other piece of potentially relevant information is that our URL changed about 6 weeks ago. Would this change be impacting the number of internal links that we are getting credit for on our site?

Why Google is not getting many of the links to my site?
Hello, I have a website for cosmetics, selling and a lot of information (http://www.vipcosmetica.com). For about half a year I've been working also in seo for several google keywords. My question is about the external links to my site. Using different tools, including those of SEOMoz, I see just a few links to my site, however there are plenty, because I've been putting them myself, in public directories, related blogs, industry websites and so on. Alexa shows 5 links only, OpenSiteExplorer shows 4, and Market Samurai 9. I thinks theres should be like 50-60 links, minimum, in pages with good google PR (Youtube, Vimeo, Vulka, Hotfrog, Digg, Flickr, etc.). In Alexa, recently two more links appeared, from two blogs that have copied some content from my site (priveta policy) without changing the original links that point to other pages on my site, and those are the links that Alexa shows now. What could be the reason the rest of the links do not appear at all? Thank you very much
