Reporting Low internal links to Homepage
-
I am having a strange problem on one of our websites, I am currently comparing ourselves to our competition as it appears we are underranking.
The one difference I can see is that our internal links are very low. They are currently at 22 to the homepage and section pages comapred to our competition which have a few hundred.
The size of our site is around 800 pages and they all have a homepage link so I cannot see why it is not reading them. Any help would be appreciated
the website url is http://www.trampolinesshop.co.uk/

Well, First I figured the internal links were simply not indexed. This would mean Open Site Explorer would not show info for pages low in your hierarchy. When I checked, it did, so I was initially wrong. However I also noticed a lot of external links from etoyszone.co.uk so I checked that site, only to find myself redirected to your current site.
I think this problem will solve itself over time, since I expect that the deeper pages will not be crawled very often. Therefore I would advise to always double check and use crawler software (like Xenu) to map your internal link structure.
cheers!

It seems that the Open Site Explorer still has an old domain in it's index(http://www.etoyszone.co.uk/) which is currently redirected to your new page. It still sees these links as external.
Also you could use XENU to crawl your website and see if you are linking to (redirected) duplicates of your home. http://download.cnet.com/Xenu-s-Link-Sleuth/3000-10248_4-10020826.html
Btw, you might want to use your html header for more than just the title. For example, you specify the character set in the body.
Good Luck,
Sven

Why my website internal links on moz is 0?
My Web site: https://www.basictrailers.com.au/ I have been using Moz for almost 3 months, from the start to now, the internal links are always 0. However, if I check the links on my Google Search Console, it is over 1500. So what is the problem? If Moz is trying to make its algorithm similar to Google, why that they even cannot find my internal links. That is ridiculous. 0fhTnQG

Duplicate content report - question on best practice
Hello all, New to MOZ Pro and SEO - so lots to get my head round! I’m working through the Duplicate Content section of the Crawl report and am not sure what the best practice is for my situation. Background: We are a reference guide for luxury hotels around the world, but the hotels that are featured on the site vary year on year. When we add a new hotel page, it sets up the url as ourwebsite.com/continent/country/regionORcity/hotel. When the hotels come off, I redirect their URL to the country or region where we have other hotels. Example: http://www.johansens.com/europe/switzerland/zermatt/ The hotel in Zermatt has come off the site, showing 0 results on this landing page. Question: My duplicate content report is showing a number of these regional pages that are displaying the copy “0 places - Region’ because the hotel has come off, but the landing page is still live. Should I redirect the regional page back to the main country page? And then if I add a new hotel to the site from that region in the future, simply remove the redirect? Should I also delete the page? Any tips would be much appreciated!

Inbound Links to Subdomains
Hi I want to gather a list of sites that are linking to individual blog items. Is there a way of gathering this data easily in Open Site Explorer? I've tried putting in the url/blog domain in the search box, and this just brings up those sites that link to the blog home page. I want to see all the inbound links that link to ALL subdomains within a particular URL. Any help appreciated. thanks

Internal Links
I've searched high and low, but I could just be missing it... Is there a report on internal links? Maybe a count? Or better yet, a way to see internal anchor text?

Help with Roger finding phantom links
It Monday and Roger has done another crawl and now I have a couple of issues: I have two pages showing 404->302 or 500 because these links do not exist. I have to fix the 500 but the 404 is trapped correctly. http://www.oznappies.com/nappies.faq & http://www.oznappies.com/store/value-packs/\ The issue is when I do a site scan there is no anchor text that contains these links. So, what I would like to find out is where is Roger finding them. I cannot see any where in the Crawl Report that tells me where the origin of these links is. I also created a blog on Tumblr and now every tag and rss feed entry is producing a duplicate content error in the crawl stats. I cannot see anywhere in Tumblr to fix this issue. Any Ideas?
