Tool recommendation for Page Depth?
-
I'd like to crawl our ecommerce site to see how deep (clicks from home page) pages are. I want to verify that every category, sub-category, and product detail page is within three clicks of the home page for googlebot.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

How it works:
After crawling a website with Screaming Frog, export the data into one of the three available file formats (.csv, .xls, or .xlsx).
Copy all of the data from the Screaming Frog worksheet (starting in cell A4) into cell A2 of the ‘data’ sheet of this analysis workbook.- The easiest way to copy all the data is to click cell A4, the use Ctrl + Shift + RIGHT to select all columns of data.
- Then Ctrl + Shift + DOWN to select all rows of data.
- Then use Ctrl + C to copy the selected cells.
- Go to the data sheet of this workbook and Ctrl + V to paste that data into cell A2.
- Pasting the data into cell A2 will align all the data with the column headers I already have in row 1.
If this data does not align properly, then there is an added or missing column of data which you will need to adjust for in the ‘data’ spreadsheet.
Report tab
The reporting tab is set up to make customizing this report for each website as easy as possible.
Hope it helps you.

Screaming Frog is my go-to crawler. One of the many data points it provides is page level. Level 0 is home page, level 1 is one-click from the start, etc...
It's an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to check on a vast range of crawl efficiency and SEO factors.

Links being reported in Webmaster Tools
Hi Are the Total Links To Your Site, as reported in GWT, purely external inbound links ? Since these links are usually, as far as i can tell, much higher in number than any other link reporting tool and hence, i presume, more accurate, why don't services such as Moz etc include this in reporting ? I know its just a total number and link quality is whats important not quantity, but i would have thought interesting to show in reporting in conjunction with link quality info such as is already reported. Since most backlink reporting tools do show a total but always much much lower than that reported in gwt (i think) All Best Dan

A 301 redirect to a page with a rel canonical to a page with a 301 question...
MOZ registers thousands of DC and Duplicate titles on a Drupal site which has a little strange setup. Example: www.1234.com/en-us 301 redirects to www.realsite.com/en-us which has a rel canonical to www.1234.com which 301 redirects to www.realsite.com. If you're still with me I thank you.

My question is since MOZ registers errors, if indeed the rel canonical isn't recognized due to a 301 redirect?0 -
Ranking Tool
We are considering purchasing your complete suite. Our question is regarding your Ranking Tool. We currently subscribe to Market Samurai and they provide us with keyword ranking abilities tied to our internal pages. Our domain, www.wklaw.com has hundreds of internal pages. (86 areas of law, each with 5 pages). will your ranking tool match our keywords to our internal pages? or does it only provide us ranks for the main domain? Thank you.

Need to find all pages that link to list of pages/pdf's
I know I can do this in OSE page by page, but is there a way I can do this in a large batch? There are 200+ PDF's that I need to figure out what pages (if any) link to the PDF. I'd rather not do this page by page, but rather copy-paste the entire list of pages I'm looking for. Any tools you know of that can do this?

My tools have stopped working.
I just started my 30 day trial a week ago. Yesterday, the toolbar stopped showing PA or DA, and none of the tools will load for a page. I've tried logging back in several times and it hasn't helped.

Where is the keyword difficulty tool data sourced from?
I also use Market Samurai, and I've noticed what seem to be big discrepancies with the keyword data presented by this (data comes from Majestic SEO) and the Keyword Difficulty Tool. To take just one example, I analyze the term "how to remove tea stains" In the Keyword Difficulty Tool, this returns the following: Root Domain Linking Root Domains: 2,233 Page Linking Root Domains: 4 When I use Market Samurai, however, the data returned is: RDD (Domains linking to this domain): 19,911 RDP (Domains linking to this page): 19 I thought that these two metrics were the same for both tools, but I've written them out in case someone sees a difference. As I say, Market Samurai data is sourced from Majestic SEO - a reputable SEO company - but I have no idea where the Keyword Difficulty Tool data is from, nor why these differences are so pronounced? Are they indeed the same metrics in both cases, or am I missing something? Any insight would be much appreciated.

What do i do when all pages are grade A?
I've used the on page grade and now have all my pages at a grade A for relevant keywords. Most of them are cool, achieveing first page rankings apart from a few massive keywords. So the question is, what's next? What do i do now that I'm at grade A, but perhaps not #1 yet... Cheers -dan
