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
http://www.phase1tech.com/ContactThen 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-CamerasAt 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
What's up with that? -

Hey there! Sorry about the confusion here. I'll start by clarifying Internal Links - they are the number of pages linking to a specific page on the same domain.
Let's take http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events and pop it into Open Site Explorer with some filters. We'll "Target" this specific page, with internal only "Link Source(s)" and allow all link types. Now let's have a look: http://screencast.com/t/upxeS1gSNm - This shows us the 800 Internal Links being referred to in the Crawl Test. We see 799 total links detailed below, including the target page itself.
I hope this helps!

Hi!
I would look at your www. and non www redirect
OSE is probably counting all your pages for both www and non www + the blog subdomain.
Plus older pages that aren't there anymore. You might have done a cleanup and removed some old pages. Those might've gotten included in the count as well.

Can building quality links on internal pages help us to improve DA?
Dear expert,
Moz Bar | | jhfdbeaob
I hope that you all are fine 🙂
Today, I am very confused about improving DA of my client website. For example: He has a domain www.abc.com
and he wants me to build a backlinks on different internal pages like
www.abc.com/service-1
www.abc.com/service-2
www.abc.com/service-3 If i build high quality links on internal pages (service pages) rather than building links on main domain (home page). Does the Domain Authority will increase
OR
I have to build links on Main page to boost the DA I am hoping a positive reply from your side Thanks1 -
How To Stop Moz Crawl From Prepending /blog/ on all our site urls that it crawls
Hello, At some time in the past our WP site had urls like this: www.oursite.com/blog/post-title-pretty-link The site has not used that url structure for quite some time, but Moz crawl is still hitting every post with /blog/prepended and as a result is generating thousands of 404s. When the /blog/ is removed from the url, then the urls work fine. Where are those old urls being stored and how can we update them? How do we address this issue? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks!

Why do i get multiple variations of my url with ?order=asc and ?view=list at the end of it in my crawl report?

Next thing I know is that the website have multiple variation of the same url with query like ?order=asc and ?view=list at the end of it.

Just to show you a couple of url's of my crawl test. <colgroup><col width="484"></colgroup>

URL Link Counts
Hi Can someone clarify what the URL link counts in the SERP report means? Is this total internal links on this page? My followed internal links are very high compared with sites I am comparing against, some sites only have 1 internal followed link - is this possible? Have they simply no followed all the rest on that page?

Moz crawler only crawls one page?!
Hello there, I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled. We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working. Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jeremy

Can you adjust the timeframe from weekly to monthly in the Dashboard Overview report?
I am looking to adjust the metrics displayed in the dashboard Overview report and the other subsequent reports to display a monthly time frame instead of a weekly time frame. I see the pull down bar that looks like I should be able to adjust the time frame but only weekly is given as an option. I do not know if this is specific to my account, that is, I am running on a subscription that only allows for weekly metrics. Thank you, Jon

How can I add Maps Listings Results to reports
I am trying to modify Moz reports so that I can show the maps results but I cant figure out how. Is this a feature that is not offered or am I blind? Even when exporting full rankings to PDF they don't show up. The issue is that a lot of the SEO work we do has a positive effect on the maps rankings for a particular client. Meanwhile the organic rankings are somewhat stagnant for this client and unless I create it manually there isn't anything I can export from Moz that shows maps results inclusion. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. IGlgIYA.jpg
