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!

Search Volume for a Keyword
I assume this questions has probably been covered many times, if so I am sorry for asking it again, for whatever reason, I am not finding the answer I require, so I would appreciate some help. I would like to know the search volume for a keyword. I remember I used to get this information on Google Adwords account, it no longer displays it the same. I want to know if Moz or even Google for that matter provide this tool in a simple way. So if I entered a keyword, I would get the volume of searches Globally as well as locally either on a per month or a per day basis and it would be broken down as exact match or broad etc. This was a great feature before. I would love to access the same thing again. Thanks you.

Raven Reporting Alternative
Does anyone know of a tool that has similar capacity to Raven's Reports? I'm doing some white labeling of reports for another Agency that is used to sending their clients a monthly Raven report that is basicly pulling out all the Google Analytic Data of top referrers, keywords, landing pages ect and putting them into a nice format. I've used the Moz reporting and at times just combined it with a pdf of the actual GA equivalent. That's always seemed a bit clunky but I don't want to have to take on a Raven subscription just for that. Anyone have any good alternatives or know if when the new dashboard launches if it will also up its game when it comes to the generated reports?

Is there any way to get Moz to generate a regular (e.g. weekly) report of new links to my domain, automatically?
I want to know when new people link to my domain. I do not want to log in once a week and use a complex interface to figure this out, I want it in my inbox every week. Is there a way to get Moz to do this? (I am a PRO user) Cheers, Daniel

NoFollow Links from Subdomain to root domain better than DoFollow Links?
Our service at fotograf.de is a shopsystem for professional photographers. The customers can build their own website with our tool including an onlineshop to sell their pictures. Here is my question: One part of the customers use subdomains of our site like photographers.fotograf.de. On each customer website we include a backlink to our homepage www.fotograf.de. From SEO view is it better to set these links as NoFollow Links? Or should we put one Follow Link on the starting page on each site and on the other pages only NoFollow Link? Are these links bad for our SEO regarding link diversity because they all come from one root domain? Thanks for the answers! Sebastian

In my crawl diagnostics, there are links to duplicate content. How can I track down where these links originated in?
How can I find out how SEOMOz found these links to begin with? That would help fix the issue. Where's the source page where the link was first encountered listed at?

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!
