Reg. internal followed links
-
Our site is new. So far we have a 534 pages. Our competitors have around 5000. I'm working on building more, but that's a lot of catching up.
The report says we have only 174 internal followed links. Why is that? I have all links set in the site to be nofollow links, but not the inside links.
I also have lots of landing pages, which are not added to the main menu, obviously. But the the main menu shows up on all landing pages.
Just wondering if either the nofollow has anything to do with it or the landing pages set up, or the numbers are accurate.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I haven't heard back and would really like to figure this out. According to Google webmaster tools, the pages are indexed and crawled and I know they come up in the search results. The main menu is linked to the landing pages.
Any reason why you think this may not be showing up in the analytics report? I need to figure out if I need to do something or is it just an error from the analytic tool?

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I need to add this info to what I wrote above:
Our Page Authority is 76. Our competitors's are 73, 75, 78. We are best at Total linking root domains, Linking C blocks. We need to add both internal links, and incoming external links. That's where we lack as being new.
But I think our pages getting crawled ok. The pages are indexed by Google and we are building links to those landing pages as well. The main menus are located on all landing pages, so the robots can access the landing pages easily by following the main menus.
Also, those landing pages are coming up on the first pages on Google. In Google Webmaster tools it shows around 400 pages are indexed out of 540. Only in SEOMoz, it only shows Internal links 177. Is it SEOMoz that haven't crawled them all and I shouldn't worry about it?

As your site is new, I assume it has not built up much authority yet which will influence how deep your site will be crawled. Also, if you are creating pages (landing) that are not linked to internally then I doubt they are getting any link juice and wont get crawled unless they are getting some decent external links.

How do you determine how much a link is worth?
Obviously things like Mozrank, domain authority, relevancy signals, authority signals, and other fundamentals are a great starting ground, but I was wondering how people put value on a links. How much time is a link from a page rank of x or a moz rank of y worth. How much time, money (not in terms of paid links, but in terms of manpower, copyrighting required, etc.) is a link of a certain rank worth. Obviously there is no exact answer to this question, but I'm very curious to see what people have to say in this regard.

Does Keyword Tracker rank eBay links as weaker competition than they actually are?
This might be a confusing question but hopefully I can explain it well enough and someone is able to understand where I am coming from. I have used the Keyword Analysis Tool to search the keyword "alice in wonderland fancy dress", the results come back saying that the competition for this keyword is 24%, which I consider to be pretty low. When I look at the Page Authority, Page Linking, Domain Authority and Domain Linking of each site which rank in the top 10 for this keyword I see that places 4 - 7 are taken by eBay links. I then look at the bottom three places (8 - 10) and although their Page Authority and Page Linking is not very high, their Domain Authority and Domain Linking is reasonable. Based on the results I have seen for other keyword, who's overall competition % was higher than 24%, I thought to myself that these bottom three links were actually quite strong, which made me ask the question "why has this keyword got a competition % as low as 24%?". I then wonder whether it was because the Keyword Analysis Tool ranks the eBay links as weaker competition than they actually are? My question to you guys: Does Keyword Tracker rank eBay links as weaker competition than they actually are? Or can anyone explain why the competition % for this keyword is so low but the bottom three links are actually relatively strong? And how do the eBay links rank higher than these bottom three links? Yes the eBay links are relative to the keyword but these eBay links are ranking higher solely on the fact that the Domain Authority is so high and have very little SEO in relation to the keyword, does Google not recognise that the bottom three websites would be more beneficial to customers than the eBay links? And if the eBay links are ranking so high solely on the fact that the Domain Authority is so high then shouldn't they be in the top 10 for almost every product related keyword? Thanks in advance.

In OSE "Followed Linking Root Domains" = "links from homepages"
In OSE's, "Followed Linking Root Domains" are defined as "The number of root domains that have at least one followed link to a page or domain." Does this mean that if one of my competitors has, let's say, 1000 followed linking root domains, they have a link pointing to them on the homepage of 1000 other sites? Thanks for your help!

Relevancy In Link Building
Hi, I'd like to build links to my websites from other relevant sites that are about similar topics. To do that in the best way, I am looking for a tool that generates keywords for a specific site or a page. This tool should basically analyze the website and understand what topics is it about. Then I can compare my website and the website I am looking to do link building in and see if the relevance is high. I remember SEOMOZ had a similar tool. Does anyone knows the link to that tool or other tools that can help me do the task I am looking to do?
