Internal link structure, find out if there are any internal links to this page
-
When i use this url in open site explorer it says that there are no internal links:
http://goo.gl/d2s6tJ
Page Authority is also 1, it should be higher of there are any internal links to it right?But i am very sure there are links to this url on my website. For example on this URL:
http://goo.gl/ucixRHHow certain can i be of this? Because if i can be very certain, than we have a internal linkstructure problem on our entire site i believe.

Wilco,
If they crawled that page, the PA should be correct. Based on what I see external of Moz, it is.

I think the reason why MOZ is not getting the Page Authority right it's because MOZ did not crawl our entire site.
I'm getting a warning to upgrade my account because the crawl limit of 50.000 pages has reached.
Does Moz crawl/index pages with NOINDEX in meta?
In google we have 54.000 pages indexed. -
There is only one and there would be no increase in PA (which is not a Google metric but a Moz metric). Google is much later than other software in showing the links in GWMT. As to the PA it is as I said earlier, you have one link from a page with low PA and over 200 links. There is no way that is worth increasing the PA to 2. Sorry, just a reality. As you get more links and maybe some external ones and time, etc. the PA should increase. Hang in there.

indeed, it is very odd. Even if Screaming Frog says there are links, it looks like google does'nt recognize them. There are many more links to that particular page.. And i does'nt get PA.
The problem is that this example is not the only problem, there are many many pages that do not get any PA. These pages have many internal links too.I can't figure why google does'nt recognize there links and give a PA.

I used the Moz tool also and at first I showed one internal link and posted that and then, when I came back it wasn't showing. It may have been picking up the G translate??. It does show in ScreamingFrog and, I used your site search went to the page with the link to the product page and it obviously worked. In SF it showed the urls as 200 so no problem there.
I am not sure why it would not show on the Moz tools. I know some links won't show in OSE, but I have never had an occurrence like this.
You do have an internal link, if you are to increase your PA you need to get more links to the page. I caution you about the overuse of internal links. I realize there are two schools on quantity: some say, where it used to be 100 as a limit now many more are acceptable. Personally, I would not want pages with hundreds of internal links.If you go to GWMT, and click on Search Traffic, you will see internal links. Click that and you will be able to look at individual URLs. That might assist you even more.
LMK if that works or you need further assistance.

Hello Robert,
I used the MOZbar before and saw the orange highlights.
But when i view the attributes and link tabs in MOZbar i can't see an incoming internal link. Attached you'll find an screenshot of my MOZbar view. Maybe i miss something?Also, i'm very sure there should be a lot of incoming links to the http://goo.gl/d2s6tJ url.

Wilco,
Your page http://www.badkamerxxl.nl/merken/D links to /f/merk-damixa. Using the Moz tool, if you are on the referring page, I used the link finding tool (pen with orange for internal links) and it is an internal link. If you click it you land on the appropriate url.
Hope that helps you out, but if you want a clear picture of link structure, you could always use Screaming Frog. (The link to that page shows in screaming frog and shows over two hundred links away from the page linking to it.)
Robert
PS With one internal link from a page with a huge amount of links on it, you will not necessarily have a PA greater than one. Each link on the linking page divides the value of the page.

Trying to find all internal links to a specific page (without index)
Hi guys -- Still waiting on Moz to index a page of mine. We launched a new site over two months ago. In the meantime, I really just need a list of internal links to a specific page because I want to change its URL. Does anybody know how to find that list (of internal links to 1 of my pages) without the Moz index? I appreciate the help!

Will unused/dead pages within my site that is non-linked hurt my seo?
For example my website has mysite.com/randomunusedpage.html No links go into that page from the website but it is published (came with the WP theme). Will that hurt my SEO and should I delete the page or is it harmless? Thanks

What can be the cause of my inner pages ranking higher than my home page?
If you do a search for my own company name or products we sell the inner pages rank higher than the homepage and if you do a search for exact content from my home page my home page doesn't show in the results. My homepage shows when you do a site: search so not sure what is causing this.

Paging Links Code - Best Way?
Currently we are using previous 1 2 3 next for our link to other inventory pages, with some variation of this javascript code javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$phMain$dlPagesTop$ctl01$lnkPageTop','') . Can search engines even index the other pages with this javascript? Is there a better way to do this?

What should I do about links coming in that are from link farm type sites?
I just noticed two back links to a couple of sites around pharmaceuticals/attorneys. The one link is to a chinese site with url: http://e.lifestyle.com.cn/fashionweekly/nzj/353093_2.shtml, and the other is to a site called Adroo: http://adroo.com/us/?view=list&list_id=104154&lang=en. Both appear to be some type of link farm sites, one has come in as a nofollow (surprise, you can buy "ads" on their site, both have decent DA. There is no reason for them to link to theses sites, should I find a way to stop the link? Also, on one of the sites we had a dmoz link and it is not showing in OSE? Link is still open in dmoz though. Thanks for any input.

Mask links with JS that point to noindex'ed paged
Hi, in an effort to prepare our page for the Panda we dramatically reduced the number of pages that can be indexed (from 100k down to 4k). All the remaining pages are being equipped with unique and valuable content. We still have the other pages around, since they represent searches with filter combination which we deem are less interesting to the majority of users (hence they are not indexed). So I am wondering if we should mask links to these non-indexed pages with JS, such that Link-Juice doesn't get lost to those. Currently the targeted pages are non-index via "noindex, follow" - we might de-index them with robots.txt though, if the "site:" query doesn't show improvements. Thanks, Sebastian

How to optimize achor text links on ecommerce category page
A category page on an e-commerce sites, containing a list of the products within the category, usually shows the product image above the product text link. If both image and anchor text link to the product page, this would mean that the image is counted as the link in terms of ranking value. What would be the best way to make the anchor text count in stead of the image? I guess some ways would be: 1. Not making the product image a link
Technical SEO | | DeptAgency
2. Using some kind of link masking / redirecting technique for the image
3. Employing a technical trick to make the anchor text link come first in the code readable by search engines. What would be the easiest way to solve this issue? Or do you believe it's not worth bothering?0
