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

How to find lost internal links

I've been seeing a large decline in internal followed links over the past couple of months and am trying to figure out the cause. My developer says there have been no changes to the site that would cause this. Is there a way to find what internal links have been lost?

Top Pages are all 301

Hi, New to Moz, so sorry if this is a n00b question. I can see on the 'Top Pages' page, that the HTTP status of all my Top Pages is 301, which means they have been permanently redirected. I am trying to find out what they have been redirected from / to so that I can clean them up and make then nice 200s, but I can't see the info anywhere? 😕

Unable to fully see full spectrum of links built on some backlink checkers

We have built various links in directories and blogs to our website. We can clearly see that these links have been established on these websites. Some we have built well over 6 months ago. However, upon using a range of tools such as Moz Open Explorer, Cognitive SEO Backlink Explorer and SEM Rush's Backlink Checker, we cannot see in any of these backlink checking tools the full spectrum of links we know we have built displayed. In instances of using these tools, we are only seeing a very small sample of links that we have built. Our question here is then threefold: Why is it that a lot of these tools don't pick up the links we know we have built? Does google eventually see all the links we have built? Or does it suffer from the same problem as backlink checkers, unable to identify all built links? Is there a backlink checker that is throughly comprehensive, or close to, in its ability to identify all links? We have heard good things about Ahrefs and would love to hear people's thoughts here.

How is Moz Page Authority Calculated?

Can anyone refer me to a document that explains the measures that go into the calculation of Moz Page Authority? I'm chiefly interested in what counts and what doesn't -- follow links, no-follow links, internal and external, what (if any) on-site factors, etc.

No incoming links from DMOZ in my report

Hi, I am confused, after so much years of waiting, some months ago I got listed in the DMOZ http://www.dmoz.org/World/Español/Tiempo_libre/Turismo/Blogs/ (My blog is Charcotrip) The problem is that when I check the incoming list in the MOZ report, the DMOZ link is totally absent, I don't get it. Does anyone knows why can this happening? (is not that my blog get recently listed, now it has been there for a while). Thanks!

Why are none of the links we've received from press and other sources from the last two months showing on our Inbound Links in OSE???

It's really hard to judge if the DA of our site according to MOZ is 1) up to date and 2) accurate when for example there are SO many inbound links still not recorded, that were published months ago.
