What does the "Internal Links" data in the Keyword Difficulty SERP report represent?

Hey Rich-
I looked over the domain. You should get rid of the /index.htm reference in your code. I'm seeing this in your footer nav. Further, you should add a 301 redirect in your htaccess file so /index.htm just points to your root domain. That will help clean it up in the engines and will be reflected in OSE.
The fact that /index.htm IS showing in OSE would explain why the internal link figure on the root is 0; it's just robbing your stats.
Once you redirect and educate OSE on the link you really want you'll be golden. Plus... you won't keep losing link juice through that footer link.
Let me know how it works out!

Would you share or message the domain - I'm happy to take a look.

Thanks. I’m just wondering why my domain would show 0 Internal Links in this report when there are definitely internal links on the pages in this domain.
Also, I can view them in OSE (but not for the xxxx.com designation – they do show for xxxx.com/index.htm).
Could this be related to a crawl error – “duplicate content” identified for xxxx.com and xxxx.com/index.htm?

Hey Rich-
Internal Links are links on your domain that point to other links on your domain. For example:
This is different than External Links which are links from other domains that point to yours.
externaldomain.com/services.html -> yourdomain.com/about.html
Hope that helps!
John

I have a site that is showing Internal 0 Equity-Passing Links, 0 Internal links, and every page bar the homepage has a PageAuthority of 0\. Any suggestions on why this could be?
The website has been around for several years, although did undergo a significant redesign at the end of last year. I greatly appreciate any help.

What are Spammy Back Links
My site was hit by Penguin 2, where I lost 40% of traffic. People keep talking about spammy links but I've made none of those for my site. So how can I analyse my site and find out which links are hurting me. Can it be done with SEOMOZ software? What do I look for? I used Site Explorer and most of my links are to relevant websites. Is there a penalty for being in somebody else's blogroll even if I was added naturally and their site is a high ranking (PR4) and relevant site? All the links to my site coming from forums are no-follow. Could it be my own website? How do I check that? I have no clue what to look for. Thanks

Open Site Explorer is showing "No Data" for my page titles under the "Top Pages" Tab
This is for my site: www.kibin.com/ Does this mean there is something wrong with how we're titling our pages? We're working on our on-page SEO, titles, meta descriptions this week and getting them up to snuff. I don't understand what is going on here or if it's something to be worried about. Thanks!

I've got quite a few "Duplicate Page Title" Errors in my Crawl Diagnostics for my Wordpress Blog
Title says it all, is this an issue? The pages seem to be set up properly with Rel=Canonical so should i just ignore the duplicate page title erros in my Crawl Diagnostics dashboard? Thanks

Are organic site links excluded in the rankings report?
If I'm pulling a rankings report for a specific subdomain and a different subdomain appears at the main result and the specific subdomain is a site link beneath it, does that show up in the results? It doesn't seem to in my report.

Colors in keyword Difficulty Report
Hi Everyone Two quick questions today 1. How can I find out hat the different colors within the keyword Difficulty Report represent and how can I see examples of how this information can help us with our data analysis? 2. The second question I have is regarding the Term Extractor. Seems when I ran a domain it provided the wrong data. For example, it stated that a certain keyword exists certain number of times within the description and title of the page but when I looked at the source this was not the case so it made studying the competition harder.

Cleaning up link profile
I've recently been trying to tidy up my link profile. We have been link building for a number of years and I decided to check it out and see how good our profile looks. I used OSE to give me a report of all external links pointing to pages on my www sub-domain. The results are scary! I have hundreds of links point to my site that originate from URLs such as the following url which attempts to start a download, use caution!!! <colgroup><col width="768"></colgroup>

| http://www.breastreconstructionguide.com/compare.jar?page=1892&username=DXDZSW | All the other metrics reported for the offending URLs seem ok, such as PA and DA. Also, many have meaningful page titles (as opposed to random characters) and nicely formed anchor text. What I'd like to know is; Are these links having a detrimental effect on my SERPs? How does OSE find them since its a URL to a download? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks for your time. Regards Aran <colgroup><col width="794"></colgroup>0 -
All seo reports
I want to find out what all the report's correct definition and when I see improving or going down what does it mean for eg. Organic search report? Keywords? or non-paid keywords?
