Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer?
-
Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer. What is the cause of this? We've checked the robots.txt and htaccess file, but so far we can't find anything that would be blocking Moz from crawling the internal links. We manage loads of other clients on this platform and this is the first time we've run into this issue. What else can I check?

Thanks for your response! We've had this particular client in the Open Site Explorer for several months now, so I'm not sure if the time it takes to index is the issue. I've attached a screenshot of what we see and what we share with out clients. It looks like all of the other metrics are being gathered correctly, it's just internal links that aren't working. Are there any possible causes for this?

Hi there!Thanks so much for the question! Open Site Explorer is powered by our Mozscape index which is still growing with each index. Most newer sites are indexed within about 60 days but some take longer- this can be dependent on quite a few different factors. When we collect link data, we look for the most valuable links so this means we may not crawl your entire site or every site. We do this by starting our crawler on a few high ranking sites and then have it perform a breadth first search to see what it finds. This means we may not immediately find links which are farther down in the hierarchy of your site.I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or if you would like us to look into this further, feel free to send us a note at help@moz.com and we’ll be happy to take a look! We'll just need to know the link for the site you're working with.

Links to non-exisiting pages
Hi, I have tons of incoming links to target pages on my website that do not exist. If you follow the link you get a 404 error. The anchor text is always a "spammy" non related text. Does anyone know what is happening and how to get rid or block these links? Thanks, Dirk

Help needed interpreting inbound link analysis please
Hi I am trying to determine how effective our store blog is and am trying to analyse the inbound links it provides to our store domain but am confused with the results, can anyone help please? For information the blog is on a subdomain of the store site, has plenty of relevant original content, and has been regularly updated over several years in line with basic Yoast SEO best practice. When I look at analysis of inbound links and linking domains for the store site in Moz Pro, the blog subdomain does not show as providing any inbound links. Google Search Console shows similar results, with no inbound links to the store domain showing from the blog subdomain in either 'search traffic > links to your site', or 'search traffic > inbound links'. Open Site Explorer for the store domain also shows no inbound links from the blog subdomain to the store with 'link source > only external' selected. But if I change to 'link source > only internal' then all of the inbound links from the blog subdomain to the main store that I would expect to see appear. Should I be concerned by the fact I can only find these inbound links under this one specific search and not in any of the others? Does this suggest a problem in the passing of any current and future SEO benefit from subdomain blog to main domain? Or should I not worry about it too much? I am looking to begin a full overhaul of all SEO for the store and blog from the ground up and want to be sure the connections between the blog subdomain and store are functioning properly before I start. Any help in unpicking this would be really appreciated Thanks very much

Why won't Open Site Explorer detect inbound links from big name websites?
I understand smaller, spammy sites woudn't get indexed, but some of the websites linking to mine have high domain authorities. The website is a parked subdomain.
