How to increase number of internal links
-
Hi all,
Using Open Site Explorer and Moz, we're getting only 50 internal links and like to know why. Our site is an online store with a quite good DA (26, see attached files) comparing with competitors, and all pages are in sitemap since several months, and crawled by google.
Assuming that we have more than 2000 products in our site, and more of 10000 crawled pages with a link to the home page, we can't understand how "Total internal links" returns only 50.
How can we increase internal links? Perhaps we misunderstood the meaning of "Total internal links" in page metrics. What does this value exactly mean?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I do see for the root domain that there are 8500 links, and only about 400 of them are external. Do you perhaps have absolute internal links using non-www, but your campaign is using www?

That would be great. If you can provide an email address, I'll email you with the site details you may need

Just that a count of internal links. I don't think it is the most helpful stat.
Why it is not reporting all your links I don't know, but I can crawl your site for you using 6the Bing API and can tell you if you have a problem that's is blocking the links

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your help. Very useful article that helped me understand the flow of PR. However, I would also like to understand how MOZ and OSE figure out the figure for total internal links, and what does this figure exactly mean.

google will find them unless you have hidden them behind no-index, but the number of internal links is not important, what is important is your linking structure.

Difference between Link Analysis and open site explorer
Hey, when i check my links in Link Analysis in Moz Analytics is see 45 Linking Root Domains. The manual states: " If you want to look at these pages in more depth, just click the export button. This will take you to Open Site Explorer so you can dig deeper into your link profile and export the data for review later." But when i go there, the open site explorer states i only have 31 Linking Domains. What could explain the difference?

Feedburner Links Showing Up In OSE
I, for years now, have been seeing lots of links from http://feeds.feedburner.com/ showing up very high in backlink profiles. Why is this? And if these links are not passing link juice why are they being reported on in OSE? Seems like there should be some sort of filter for these, or that OSE bot should follow robots.txt directives as googlebot does.

How to check what websites your website is linking to
We recently transitioned away from a third party website using a different domain. A lot of our blog posts still link to this domain. Is there a tool offered by Moz that crawls your website and provides a report of all websites that your website is linking to?
