Where are all of my on page links coming from?
-
I am trying to reorganize my site and with that my home page. I want to follow the 100 internal link rule. However when I run a Moz crawl test it says that there is too many on page links. I than went to Moz open site explorer and it said there is 237 links. When I exclude in bound links that still leaves me in the mid 100 range. After counting them my self I can only come up with 75 on page links. Does anyone know how I can find what Moz is referring to? And how I would be able to find where this links are? I might be missing something simple or maybe I don't understand exactly how the Moz tools work. That is why input from this great community would help.
Thanks!

After looking at the source code for your homepage, here are the anomalies I've found:
- A dozen or so links like https://static1.squarespace.com/static/ are in your header. I assume these are due to having built your site through them, but these will still count.
- The "Loving @ Your Best etc." image at the top is a link to the homepage, but so is "Home". That's a bit redundant.
- Each of your navigational items (couples therapy, counseling, etc) is an on-page link which is probably an unnecessary design choice.
- The biggest issue s that you have both your desktop and mobile links on this one source page. That's a big no-no; instead, you should have the page that's fetched determined by whether a user is on mobile or not, and then have a separate page for both. This is likely the biggest source of your headache here.
I hope that helps, Travis.

Could you please provide a link to your site? That would likely help to figure out where the links you're missing are.

My page can not be crawled
Hi all,Hope you could you help me here.I just seen this message but I don't know how to fix it?"Your page redirects or links to a page that is outside of the scope of your campaign settings. Your campaign is limited to pages with _____ in the URL path, which prevents us from crawling through the redirect or the links on your page. To enable a full crawl of your site, you may need to create a new campaign with a broader scope, adjust your redirects, or add links to other pages that include ig.com/de. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster."Any ideas about how should I fix it?Thanks

Hi There, We've got two crawl issues for pages that don't exist (and never existed). The links are strange and judging by the code in them, appear to be coming from our own CMS. How can we see which pages the links are on in Moz? Cheers Ben

Moz campaign for a subdomain with no home page
Hello all, I'm trying to setup a campaign in Moz for one of our subdomains that we use for marketing landing pages. Unfortunately there really is no home/landing page for the subdomain so when I enter it into the campaign settings it says the site isn't accessible. Is there anyway for me to add this? I tried entering the subdomain with a star, e.g. pages.mydomain.com but it would not accept it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Improve Page Authority or Domain Authority
I am very confused as to the practical implementation of these 2 terms PA and DA. I have a website and i want to rank a particular page. So to rank it at the top, should i have more backlinks of page** or **more backlinks of my Homepage. Does more back links of a particular page improves only PA or (PA & DA) both ?
