Internal links not showing in Open Site Explorer
-
So I'm working on a law firm site and looking at the links for pages in OSE. For practice areas, the links to each practice area are in the left hand menu on every page of the site. Can anyone help me with this question:
Example: http://www.comitzlaw.com/personal-injury/car-accidents.html
When I plug this URL into OSE, it only shows one linking page, www.comitzlaw.com/practice-areas.html, yet there is a link to this on every other page in the site.
When I plug in a random competitors page, www.lesagelblaw.com/Personal-Injury-Overview/Car-Accidents.shtml, it does show all the internal pages linking to it.
Since I'm not using a flash menu or javascript, any ideas as to why no internal links are showing up in OSE? Even when I plug in the main URL for the home page, it only shows 4 other internal pages linking to it, yet there is a link on every page. What am I doing wrong?

good to here, I did not know that, i guess they just dont have the processing power to dig that deep, unlike Bing and Google

Emailed and got a response. The site was originally built a while back using many tables for positioning and the main nav links were deep in nested tables. Thought this may be the problem, so I converted site to all divs. Ran a crawl test and noticed all pages have page authority now (used to be only the home page) so looks like we have a fix.

This is probably one to email to the help desk staff at help@seomoz.org and ask them directly. So sorry you're seeing problems!

I had a look at your code and i cant see anything wrong, maybe a seomoz staffer will answer.

I've been adding external links for the past month and one new directory link that was approved on 9/23 showed up in last week's update (although there were plenty of others that were indeed approved and do show up for competitors). It's the internal links not showing up that worry me. Those have existed for months.

OSE only updates about once a month, di you only recently add links?

Open Site Explorer and link numbers
I know this question has been asked many times in this forum but I still can't work it out. Why does this link: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=www.bookpal.com.au&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=external&target=subdomain&group=0 Which is showing all links, external, to pages "on this sub domain" show 1,935 external links but this link: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=www.bookpal.com.au&sort=page_authority&filter=follow&source=external&target=subdomain&group=0 which is exactly the same but this time shoing followed + 301 links, says "showing 1 - 50 external links) but won't show the total links (and I know the mouse-over on the question mark says it's won't show the total links, but I don't understand why it can't show the total links when it could show the total links when I requested to see "all links" instead of just "followed+301" links.) but it actually lists 700 links (14 pages, 50 results each page). I know the link list is limited to 25 links per domain but then it means you can NEVER know the total link count unless you download the full report. This makes using OSE to know numbers of links (internal, external, or otherwise) impossible. And if anyone uses the API, why the API (external+follow) returns 1,451 links? I'm sure it's an ongoing issue with people trying to get their head around all of this and I've never really been able to. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Why are my external links not showing?
I've had Pro long enough to get at least two weekly crawls and yet no external links are showing (which do absolutely exist). Why would this be?
