Reg. internal followed links
-
Our site is new. So far we have a 534 pages. Our competitors have around 5000. I'm working on building more, but that's a lot of catching up.
The report says we have only 174 internal followed links. Why is that? I have all links set in the site to be nofollow links, but not the inside links.
I also have lots of landing pages, which are not added to the main menu, obviously. But the the main menu shows up on all landing pages.
Just wondering if either the nofollow has anything to do with it or the landing pages set up, or the numbers are accurate.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I haven't heard back and would really like to figure this out. According to Google webmaster tools, the pages are indexed and crawled and I know they come up in the search results. The main menu is linked to the landing pages.
Any reason why you think this may not be showing up in the analytics report? I need to figure out if I need to do something or is it just an error from the analytic tool?

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I need to add this info to what I wrote above:
Our Page Authority is 76. Our competitors's are 73, 75, 78. We are best at Total linking root domains, Linking C blocks. We need to add both internal links, and incoming external links. That's where we lack as being new.
But I think our pages getting crawled ok. The pages are indexed by Google and we are building links to those landing pages as well. The main menus are located on all landing pages, so the robots can access the landing pages easily by following the main menus.
Also, those landing pages are coming up on the first pages on Google. In Google Webmaster tools it shows around 400 pages are indexed out of 540. Only in SEOMoz, it only shows Internal links 177. Is it SEOMoz that haven't crawled them all and I shouldn't worry about it?

As your site is new, I assume it has not built up much authority yet which will influence how deep your site will be crawled. Also, if you are creating pages (landing) that are not linked to internally then I doubt they are getting any link juice and wont get crawled unless they are getting some decent external links.

Is there an SEO checklist that I can follow for every new project?
I'm a very structured dude. I literally have to have every project in front of me in order to be productive. With that said, it would sure help me if there was a checklist to follow with at least the basics to both audit an existing website, to where they rank and what areas need improved and then another checklist that goes through each phase of implementing SEO for the first time either on a brand new website or an existing website that you're taking over... Any suggestions?

Why are my month old links not showing in WMT or OSE?
Hey Everyone! I've been working hard on boosting my ranking after launching my new site 2 months ago. I realize that this process normally takes some time however I've come across a questions that I'm not sure I know that answer to... I had some really solid back links added about a month ago but nothing is showing up yet in WMT on them. When I run an OSE I don't see any links there (not even under newly discovered). Can someone please help with some insight on why they might now be showing. Is it just a time thing or should I be doing something different?Any insight will be very helpful. Thanks

DA as a measure of link-building success/failure?
Hi all 😃 What would be a good way to track weather a website is doing good or bad in regards to link-building in google's eyes? Is the Domain Authority the best credential? If a website is penalized for link-building schemes, would it reflect on the Domain Authority shown in Moz Analytics? What other Moz score would reflect this scenario? Best regards & Thank you for your help. Carlos

Benefits of reducing on page links
This is more of a discussion point. What would be the measurable results of reducing the number of on page links, specifically on a home page, but let's assume by way of a large navigation menu most of the pages have a lot of links" For instance, would any of the stats on the MozBar be affected (let's start with the home page). Would the Page Authority or MozRank change at all, perhaps because there is less "juice" flowing out of the home page? Thanks! 🙂

Does linking to relevant high authority websites effect your MozTrust or Rank?
Basically what the title says. I am having a hard time understanding why a compeitor with less linking domains and none of any real quality, they're all membership sites or partnerships, nothing to relevant to the industry. While we have links and articles on us from multiple magazines in our industry. As well as to relevant directories with high domain ranks. The only thing I noticed is they're linking to their clients website, which are all high authority websites. So do external links count towards your MozTrust or Rank?

Missing Page Titles On The Comptetive Link Comparison Page
Hello, When I do a Link Analysis using the SEOmoz tools I have noticed that most of the pages listed on the Top Pages tab show [No Data] for page title. Any idea why that could be? The page source of those pages have one and only one <title>tag.</p> <p>Thanks!</p></title>

Can I get a list of all links on a given domain?
Sorry, this is actually kind of a tripartite question: I was looking at the Competitive Link Analysis on one my clients' campaigns. Sometime between June and September their total links went up by about 120,000. We have no idea where those links came from (although the numbers would indicate that they're mostly internal). Question 1: In none of the other tools can I figure out how to list these links on a domain level. Is there a way to get a list of all links for our given domain? I've been playing around with the page-by-page and even that doesn't show me everything. For example, I'm looking at OSE for their homepage and it lists 45 links for a page that it claims has 151 total. Question 2: How did it pick those 45 to display out of the 151 possible? If these are only external links, why do half of them come from one of our subdomains? Also... Question 3: If our client hasn't made any major changes recently, why has the number of internal links gone up so dramatically? Thanks.
