Why are my internal links up by thousands?
-
I recently carried out an internal link audit on our site and added around 100 links to other pages over relevant anchor text.
One week later, Moz shows our internal links are up by 11k.
Why?
-
@martijn_scheijbeler I would agree, the issue is most likely being caused by links added to the global header or footer. I would check there and keep us updated @AntelopeAgency
-
@antelopeagency Did you add any links to a footer or top navigation to those pages?
-
@martijn_scheijbeler thank you, could you elaborate please? I'm not sure about that.
-
@brianders will knowing the answer to this help with the query?
-
Are you sure that you didn't by accident added internal links that are global across the whole site? That's usually causing issues like this.
-
@antelopeagency Why are the links being added late?

Anchor text and internal link building very fast
Hey guys, I just posted an article about "Customer Success". After that, I searched in my blog all the articles that contains that keyword and then linked to this new article I want to rank. Is this a bad thing to do, linking all these articles (12) in a row? Also, is it a bad thing to use "Customer Success" as the anchor text for all the articles linking to this new article? I looked for this topic but couldn´t find any. Thanks

Low number of internal links
Hello everyone, we are strugling with low number of internal links on most of our pages. For exmaple page http://www.nejlevnejsi-knihy.cz/autor/jo-nesbo.html according to OpenSiteExplorer has only 1 internal link. I checked number of pages really linking to it and it is more than 50. All linking pages are listed in sitemap and exist more than 6 months. Thanks for your help! Kafka

Is link exchange a reliable source to get back links?
I read a latest post on seomoz that _“Do not buy or exchange link with anyone who contacts you. This is completely against Google's policies and if they were to find out, you could be penalized." So I went through Google's ''Link Schemes'' and found that ''Excessive link exchanging ("Link to me and I'll link to you")'' can negatively impact a site's ranking . _ So is it the ''excessive'' link exchanging that can cause a negative impact? Exchanging links with good quality, cached sites (without excessive doing) can do good or bad? Can anyone please explain to me in detail?

Is purchasing internal page links from directories worth it?
Since data suggests that only the first link on a page to a singular URL is counted, are the deep links purchased from directories worth the money/provide any value?

"gimme links" = easy to fill out profile/personal reputation links that offer a do-follow anchor text flexible link
I'm doing some SEO for small niche service sites...and aside from niche directories and some light article marketing and local search directories (yelp, etc) there really isn't a budget for content generation. I really only have a budget for profile/submission links. What are some sites where you can quite easily fill out a personal profile with an anchor text variable link that may not be THAT juicy but will stick (i.e. not a spam/fake profile type of link, but something like Linkedin). I'll start with giving away 1 www.istockphoto.com Any others that aren't obvious?

Too many internal links to a particular page?
I have read all the data regarding the number of links per page, but my question has to do with the number of internal links to a particular page. After looking at some of the competition inside Open Site Explorer I can see that the competitor in question has a much smaller number of links going to the desired page then the site I am comparing. The competitor is outranking a page that should be ranking higher due to higher page authority and external root domain links. Internal Links to Page: 9,950 Competitor Page Internal LInks: 208 Is this a situation where the sheer number of internal links is discounted because of page rank distribution throughout the site? Just want to get some clarity here. Thank you for your responses.
