Is there a tool to find a strange link
-
hi, i have used screaming frog seo and it has brought up a link to another site we run but this is a strange link
the link is
http://www.in2town.co.uk/www.clairehegarty.co.uk/virtual-gastric-band-with-hypnotherapy
i have gone through the site on the home page as this is where it is and i cannot find, so i was just wondering if there was a tool that i can use to pin point where it is.
any help would be great
-
cheers for that. it is strange that i am looking for links on the home page which there are around 140 or so and then google is pulling links from the different sections and showing them on the home page.
will see if i can find the solution to try and reduce the link
many thanks for all your help

Using tools from SEOBook, I'm seeing 228 internal links on your homepage to your category pages and articles. They appear to be legitimate links so I wouldn't worry that there are too many though you should double-check that you don't have too many duplicate links unless they are necessary.
As for http://www.in2town.co.uk/Health Magazine, that's just an improperly encoded space though it would seem given your URL structure that it should be a dash - not a space. Once again, check Open Site Explorer and that should help you find what is linking to it.

hi mike, i have just looked at the image and found it, many thanks for this, spent hours sorting this out.
just came across another one, which i do not understand why i have a bad link like this, so will find this now.
http://www.in2town.co.uk/Health Magazine
if i can work out why i have so many links on the home page, where i am being told there are 262 when really there are only around 140.
it seems for some reason links are showing on the home page from other pages.
many thanks for all your help, should have come on here earlier and asked, would have saved myself five hours looking for the problem

That odd URL is the link in the image on the right side of your site for "lose weight today with gastric band hypnotherapy".
I used Open Site Explorer to find what pages were linking in and they all mention "(img alt) gastric" which made it easier to pinpoint where on the pages the link was coming from.

Broken canonical link errors
Hello, Several tools I'm using are returning errors due to "broken canonical links". However, I'm not too sure why is that. Eg.

Is link cloaking bad?
I have a couple of affiliate gaming sites and have been cloaking the links, the reason I do this is to stop have so many external links on my sites. In the robot.txt I tell the bots not to index my cloaked links. Is this bad, or doesnt it really matter? Thanks for your help.

Keyword Difficulty Tool
Hi Mozzers! Randfishkin just posted yesterday a very nice important and helpfull post, about keyword difficulty. I will be happy, if you can write here the metrics from reports of keyword difficulty, to know more about position of our website on SERP, and to know more what to engage if someone is ranking higher than me, with same metrics of the report of keyword difficulty. It would be very nice, if we talk on this topic here about keyword difficulty how to's. Thanks

Internal Linking: Site-wide VS Content Links
I just watched this video in which Matt Cutts talks about the ancient 100 links per page limit. I often encounter websites which have massive navigation (elaborate main menu, side bar, footer, superfooter...etc) in addition to content area based links. My question is do you think Google passes votes (PageRank and anchor text) differently from template links such as navigation to the ones in the content area, if so have you done any testing to confirm?
