Why are my internal links up by thousands?
-
I recently carried out an internal link audit on our site and added around 100 links to other pages over relevant anchor text.
One week later, Moz shows our internal links are up by 11k.
Why?
-
@martijn_scheijbeler I would agree, the issue is most likely being caused by links added to the global header or footer. I would check there and keep us updated @AntelopeAgency
-
@antelopeagency Did you add any links to a footer or top navigation to those pages?
-
@martijn_scheijbeler thank you, could you elaborate please? I'm not sure about that.
-
@brianders will knowing the answer to this help with the query?
-
Are you sure that you didn't by accident added internal links that are global across the whole site? That's usually causing issues like this.
-
@antelopeagency Why are the links being added late?

Links I am not Building?
Hi All, I check webmaster multiple times on a daily basis, and I noticed some links that I have not worked on and look a bit spammy, is it possible for people to purposely pont bad links in my direction? If that is the case is there a way for me to remove them myself? Also the number of total backlinks are very different in Webmaster and my Open Site Explorer, is this normal? Thanks again !

Obtaining Links from Forums?
How good is a link from a forum? Do you guys know of any forums in the shopping, jewelry, wedding, or fashion industry that accepts links within their signature or within the post? I know some forums are very strict about this and others allow you to add your link as an incentive to post on their forums. Generally, how effective is this in your opinion and any good recommendations of quality forums?

Link Churn - where have all my links gone?
I am sure most of you have asked yourself the question I'm asking right now.. Where have all my links gone? I am starting to get twitchy now. I would estimate we have lost around 60% of our links in the past 3 weeks. Does anyone have any comeback stories? Feel like I am back to the start again. I have made a number of changes on the site not least removing a reciprical link page.. that had over 200 links on it but from reading one of Rand's tweets is it true that linking out could be good again?
