No internal followed links
-
My site shows no internal followed links in OSE, but each page on my site has internal links, including to the domain itself - jonnyt.me.
Any idea why this might be and how I could fix it?
-
Thanks Greg, can't find any links that point to http://jonnyt.me/index.html now, think these were old links I had. Thanks for the advice!

No no...
Don't redirect all your links, just do it once to one URL
Redirect To
Once you have redirected, jonnyt.me/index.html wont load, but instead will redirect to jonnyt.me
If you know of any links that are pointing to "jonnyt.me/index.html" change them to point to "jonnyt.me "
If you cant find any, dont worry about it, when google or a user clicks on jonnyt.me/index.html, they will be taken to the correct page.
I hope this makes more sense.

Thanks for that Greg - so you recommend redirecting all links to the root domain? Any chance you could explain why that's good - sorry, I'm new around here!

That makes it even more complicated... Well spotted Martijn
Based on were the majority of your links are currently pointing, you need to choose which to go with and redirect the other.
These are duplications which you need to sort out. (I suggest redirecting jonnyt.me/index.html to jonnyt.me/)

Hi
You do in-fact have internal Followed links and its just a matter of changing the "pages to" field in OSE
Dont ask me why, but when choosing "to this page" nothing gets displayed. When you choose "pages on this root domain" all internal links are displayed.
The selection that works includes all variations of URL's that point to jonnyt.me and not just URL's pointing to jonnyt.me in that makes any sense..
Show > ALL > from > ONLY INTERNAL > to > PAGES ON THIS ROOT DOMAIN >

Hi Jon,
It looks like to me the Roger Mozbot didn't' scrape your complete site but just a couple of pages. So that's why some pages don't show up in OSE as internal followed links. However, I found this URL in OSE which seems to show a number of internal followed links.
So I won't stress to much about itHope this helps!

Spam Links
Hi everyone, I've just joined the Moz community and after completing our first site crawl I've discovered that we have approximately 200 links with a spam score of over 50%. Should I just disavow all these links or is their a formula to deciding which links to disavow? Thanks in Advance Steve

Internal linking dilemma
My company is running a submission contest. All submissions will live on the the main contest page. When clicked, each submission will open up into their own page (with a unique URL). Each submission will also have internal links pointing to a few relevant product pages. My question: Say we receive 1,000 submissions. Is it better to have internal links from 1,000 unique, lower authority submission pages? Or should we canonicalize each submission page to the higher authority main contest page and effectively have all those internal links coming from the main contest page? Is one better than the other? Are there link spam issues to worry about with either? Thank you in advance!

Are stackoverflow links follow or nofollow?
I've tried to find the answer to this question myself, but I've found differing opinions. The conclusion I've come to is that Stackoverflow allows follow links when the user that posts the link has sufficient reputation or if the link receives user validation. Has anyone else here used Stackoverflow.com that knows the answer to this question? 🙂

Link from a directory
Hi, im submitting a clients website to some directories. They are a dental practice and I'm adding them to this website http://goo.gl/Tvyabd Once i added the business to its directory it asked me to add a link (in so many words) back to its website from my clients website. Is this ok to do or is it seen as spam? Im confused about this as sometimes directories are free and sometimes they ask for a fee for it to be fast tracked to put it on the website. I always check the Domain authority of the websites and make sure they are relevant to the industry that I'm working in but again not sure if this would be seen as "paying" for links. Thanks Ade

What are inbound links worth after Panda and Penguin, since a site ranks for the NATIONAL keyword "outdoor furniture" with ONLY 7 INBOUND LINKS!?!?
ARE INBOUND LINKS TODAY ALMOST WORTHLESS??!!? After having been the KING of SEO, down to the toilet? Today I got a great sample from a fellow SEO professional showing a site, rockymountainfurniture.com rank for "outdoor furniture" with ONLY 7 INBOUND LINKS FROM 3 DOMAINS and a domain trust of 14!!!! ON A NATIONAL, VALUABLE, HIGH QUERY VOLUME KEYWORD!! I was stunned, but is this the "NEW SEO WORLD" we live in, so we should skip spending hundreds of hours on link building? There are over 32 different types of inbound links but this is much MORE than a radical change, this is turning SEO as it was up-side-down. Any input, thoughts, ideas?

Anchor text internal links
Hello, I read about a practice (also suggested by EasyWP SEO plugin) whereby I should place on my current page (call it page A) an internal link to another page (call it page B) using as anchor text the keywords I want page A to rank for. I dont really understand this and it is a cause of great confusion in my head... Can someone explain this to me and why this would be good practice? I would have thought that having as anchor text to page B a keyword I want page A to rank well for would steal juice from page A and give it to page B? Or am I missing something else? Thanks !
