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.

URL structure change for pages without traffic: 301 redirect or not ?
Hi, I am just starting with MOZ PRO and trying to handle the high priority issues, starting with pages with 4XX Client Error. I am wondering what we should do with pages with no traffic and no external links. For instance: So time ago we change the URL structure of our blog to a flatter one, and so eg we moved a page: from: domain-name/dla-rodzicow/poradniki/poradniki-po-markach/vilac/vilac-zabawki-z-dusza to: domain-name/dla-rodzicow/poradniki/marka-vilac/vilac-zabawki-z-dusza/ Still not very flat but this is not the point. MOZ PRO shows we are having internal links to the old url. According to MOZ PRO, we don't have external links. According to Analytics we have no traffic on the old page. So now we changed the internal link, and I am wondering whether we should 301 redirect the old page to the new one, or whether a sitemap update is enough for this kind of pages ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Issues with structured data on angular pages.
I am having an issue with Structured Data. I have added the structured data to angular pages of my site but when I run the test from the testing tool it doesn't detect the same. Although when I cut and paste the code (from inspect element) it detects the structured data. But in my webmaster tools, those pages don't show up under structured data. I am unsure if my structured data is being picked up by google. What should be done here? Should I provide pre-rendered pages to google?

What's the best way to pass link juice to a page on another domain?
I'm working with a non-profit, and their donation form software forces them to host their donation pages on a different domain. I want to attempt to get their donation page to appear in their sitelinks in Google (under the main website's entry), but it seems like the organization's donation forms are at a disadvantage because they're not actually hosted on that site. I know that no matter what I do, there's no way to "force" a sitelink to appear the way I want it, but... I was trying to think if there's a way I can work around this. Do you think 1) creating a url like orgname.org/donate and having that be a 301 redirect to the donation form, and 2) using the /donate redirect all over the site (instead of linking directly to the form) would help? Are there alternatives other folks recommend?

Should I disavow links from pages that don't exist any more
Hi. Im doing a backlinks audit to two sites, one with 48k and the other with 2M backlinks. Both are very old sites and both have tons of backlinks from old pages and websites that don't exist any more, but these backlinks still exist in the Majestic Historic index. I cleaned up the obvious useless links and passed the rest through Screaming Frog to check if those old pages/sites even exist. There are tons of link sending pages that return a 0, 301, 302, 307, 404 etc errors. Should I consider all of these pages as being bad backlinks and add them to the disavow file? Just a clarification, Im not talking about l301-ing a backlink to a new target page. Im talking about the origin page generating an error at ping eg: originpage.com/page-gone sends me a link to mysite.com/product1. Screamingfrog pings originpage.com/page-gone, and returns a Status error. Do I add the originpage.com/page-gone in the disavow file or not? Hope Im making sense 🙂

Why are these internal pages not showing any internal links?
If you look at Author profile pages like this one, http://experts.allbusiness.com/author/denise-oberry (THE top contributor on the site with over 82 posts under her belt), or any Author profile page, they show zero internal links or Page Authority. The same goes for most posts for each author on the site. Author pages should show internal links from every post the author has on the site. And specific posts should also have internal links from categories, etc. Yet they show zero. The only posts that show internal links and PA are ones that were either syndicated to the root domain's homepage, or syndicated to Fox Small Business. ZERO internal links. Does anyone know why this is? The root domain does not act this way with Author pages and posts. And I see nothing blocking links or indexing via the robots.txt file or page level nofollow tags. A real head scratcher for this SEO nerd, that I'm sure someone here will have a really simple answer to.

Internal Link Counts in SEOMoz Report?
Hi, We ran a site diagnostic and it came back with thousands of pages that have more than 100 internal links on a page; however, the actual number of links on those pages seems to be far less than what was reported. Any ideas? Thanks! Phil UPDATE: So we've looked at the source code and realized that for each product we link to the product page in multiple ways - from the product image, product title and price. So we have three internal links to the same page from each product listing, which is being counted by the SEOMoz crawler as hundreds of links on each page. But in terms of the Googlebot, is this as egregious as having hundreds of links to different pages or does it not matter as much?

I have pages that are showing up as having too many links, yet they are noindexed.
I've got several pages that have "too many on page links" and the pages mentioned have already been noindexed. Do these pages need to be no followed too? Here's one of the pages: http://digisavvy.com/site-map/. There's several pages like this, most of which are category or tag archives, which I've noindexed... Do I need to nofollow these, too?

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
