Crawl Report Internal Links Count
-
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/ContactAt best there are approximately 70 links on the page. Where is the 800 number coming from?

Thank you for the reply Abe. Perhaps I am not following.
The crawl report has distinct columns for Internal Links and External Links per page.
According to the description of the report (What's included in my Crawl Test report?):Internal Links Number of links on a page that point to the same domain as that page.
Linking Root Domains Number of root domains that link to this page.
External Links Number of links on a page that point to a page that is not on the same domain as that page.Referring again to actual pages from the report:
Page / Internal Links / Linking Root Domains / External Links
http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events / 800 / 1 / 0
http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact / 800 / 1 / 0
http://www.phase1tech.com/FLIR-Cameras / 724 / 1 / 0Is the report incorrect then?

Hello George, I'd love to help! That 799 number you are seeing is the Total Linking Pages number, meaning external pages from other websites linking to you, as well. After peeking at your site, you do in fact only have 70 Internal links in your site. I hope this helps!

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://support@ihasco.co.uk and http://enquiries@ihasco.co.uk Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

Moz Crawl Test: Referrer is sitemap.gz?
Hi,
Moz Bar | | Titan552
I'm looking at a crawl test report, and I'm seeing that most of the pages have the sitemamp.gz file listed as the referrer. As I recall in my other reports the referrer is usually the root domain - unless of course there's a redirect. Does having sitemap.gz as the referrer indicate a problem? If so, what problem does it indicate? Thanks!0 -
Optimise your Pages in Moz Crawl - where do the keywords come from?
I am just going through my first Crawl stats from the MOZ analytics Under the pages to optimise section I have pages that I have optimised for my best keyword with an A grade that are showing as an F grade and suggesting a different keyword? Where is this keyword coming from? I am assuming that my page has been analysed and a better keyword has been recommended? Can anyone advise? Thanks Roger
