Reporting Low internal links to Homepage
-
I am having a strange problem on one of our websites, I am currently comparing ourselves to our competition as it appears we are underranking.
The one difference I can see is that our internal links are very low. They are currently at 22 to the homepage and section pages comapred to our competition which have a few hundred.
The size of our site is around 800 pages and they all have a homepage link so I cannot see why it is not reading them. Any help would be appreciated
the website url is http://www.trampolinesshop.co.uk/

Well, First I figured the internal links were simply not indexed. This would mean Open Site Explorer would not show info for pages low in your hierarchy. When I checked, it did, so I was initially wrong. However I also noticed a lot of external links from etoyszone.co.uk so I checked that site, only to find myself redirected to your current site.
I think this problem will solve itself over time, since I expect that the deeper pages will not be crawled very often. Therefore I would advise to always double check and use crawler software (like Xenu) to map your internal link structure.
cheers!

It seems that the Open Site Explorer still has an old domain in it's index(http://www.etoyszone.co.uk/) which is currently redirected to your new page. It still sees these links as external.
Also you could use XENU to crawl your website and see if you are linking to (redirected) duplicates of your home. http://download.cnet.com/Xenu-s-Link-Sleuth/3000-10248_4-10020826.html
Btw, you might want to use your html header for more than just the title. For example, you specify the character set in the body.
Good Luck,
Sven

Can someone explain why I have been seeing an increase in the number of Linking Page URLs in OSE that link directly to downloads?
Ever since the last couple Linkscape updates when doing competitive back link analysis I have noticed a large increase in the number of URLs of Linking Pages in OSE that result in an immediate file download. The majority of the time these downloads are not common files ie PDF, DOC files. For example, these were all in a competitors back link profile: http://download.unesp.br/linux/debian/pool/main/i/isc-dhcp/isc-dhcp-relay-dbg_4.1.1-P1-17_ia64.deb http://snow.fmi.fi/data/20090210_eurasia_sd_025grid.mat http://www.rose-hulman.edu/class/me/HTML/ES204_0708_S/working model examples/Le25 mad hatter.wm?a=p&id=145880&g=5&p=sia&date=iso&o=ajgrep These are just a few I came across for a single competitor. Is this sketchy black hat SEO, some sort of error, actual links, or something else? Any information on this subject would be helpful. Thank you.
