Internal links: How do I find keywords that are not linked to a URL?
-
Hi Moz members
I'd really like to place an internal link of every instance of an important keyword phrase "cycling caps" or "cycling cap" to my eComm category page
https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-capsI feel this would not only help my customers browsing my store, but I believe it will help from an SEO perspective.
How can I search my site using Moz, Screaming Frog, Google etc to find every time cycling cap(s) is used but is not linked to the above URL?
I can then apply the same for cycling jerseys, socks, etc

Hi Andy
You are probably better off doing this in your CMS or directly in the database. As far as I know, there is no MOZ tool to scan content for a particular keyword. You could query Google with site:yourdomain.com "cycling caps" This would give you a list of all URLs with the term Cycling Caps in. Then copy the link of each one and drop them in a spreadsheet.
However! I would warn against linking back through these two anchor texts back to the money page https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-caps as you will likely kill the page for that search.
Make internal linkage natural and use a variety of anchor text. Cycling cap, Cycling caps, Caps for cycling and even **Check out our range of cycling caps **even here and the URL itself. Check out our range of cycling caps: https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-caps Whacking a keyword over and over again in the content with a link is bad practice.
Regards Nigel

Do links from International SEO counterpart site carry weight?
Hi everyone! One of our clients has a competitor who has an international reach with their website. Their hreflang goes from Brazil, German, US, China, etc. We found that the Chinese site (.cn) sends over 900,000+ backlinks to the main US site (.com). The hreflang for the site has the .com US version of the site as the canonical. So my question is - does our competitor get any link equity from the 900,000 links they are getting from their Chinese (.cn) version of the site? My initial thought is that because they are marked up with hreflang and canonical tags, those 900,000+ links wouldn't' have any equity? Would love some thoughts/guidance on what others think.

Subdomain links vs root domain links? Are the less valuable?
I am determining the value of links we get. Is a link on a subdomain less valuable vs one on the root domain? How less valuable would you consider a subdomain link? For example blog.site.com vs site.com/blog What other metrics would you take into consideration for the value of a subdomain link?

For a new site, does it matter which sites I get back links from first? I.e., are the first back links more important than later ones?
I've heard that when a site is new, the sources from which it gets its first back links are very important -- that the early links are more important for ranking than later links. Is this true. If so, what would be some good places to get these very first links? Thanks.

Reciprocal Link URL Question
I've been analyzing my competition and found some great directories with High DAs that require the Reciprocal code to be on the same domain as the submitted link . When I went to my competitor's website, the reciprocal link is not there. Does he/she put the link on their page, than have directory verify the code, and then remove the link? If anyone fully understands how this works, please let me know.

Vary Anchor Text for your internal links?
Something I had been pondering with all the new updates and signals Google is looking at, and also considering the fact that many website's overdo internal linking and almost everyone uses exact match anchor text for it. So my question is - is it effect or counter-effective to vary your anchor text for internal links? If you think its effective, what is a reasonable proportion for exact anchor text match to varied ones.
