No internal followed links
-
My site shows no internal followed links in OSE, but each page on my site has internal links, including to the domain itself - jonnyt.me.
Any idea why this might be and how I could fix it?
-
Thanks Greg, can't find any links that point to http://jonnyt.me/index.html now, think these were old links I had. Thanks for the advice!

No no...
Don't redirect all your links, just do it once to one URL
Redirect To
Once you have redirected, jonnyt.me/index.html wont load, but instead will redirect to jonnyt.me
If you know of any links that are pointing to "jonnyt.me/index.html" change them to point to "jonnyt.me "
If you cant find any, dont worry about it, when google or a user clicks on jonnyt.me/index.html, they will be taken to the correct page.
I hope this makes more sense.

Thanks for that Greg - so you recommend redirecting all links to the root domain? Any chance you could explain why that's good - sorry, I'm new around here!

That makes it even more complicated... Well spotted Martijn
Based on were the majority of your links are currently pointing, you need to choose which to go with and redirect the other.
These are duplications which you need to sort out. (I suggest redirecting jonnyt.me/index.html to jonnyt.me/)

Hi
You do in-fact have internal Followed links and its just a matter of changing the "pages to" field in OSE
Dont ask me why, but when choosing "to this page" nothing gets displayed. When you choose "pages on this root domain" all internal links are displayed.
The selection that works includes all variations of URL's that point to jonnyt.me and not just URL's pointing to jonnyt.me in that makes any sense..
Show > ALL > from > ONLY INTERNAL > to > PAGES ON THIS ROOT DOMAIN >

Hi Jon,
It looks like to me the Roger Mozbot didn't' scrape your complete site but just a couple of pages. So that's why some pages don't show up in OSE as internal followed links. However, I found this URL in OSE which seems to show a number of internal followed links.
So I won't stress to much about itHope this helps!

Link Audit
Reviewing a list of links from webmaster console for a client and there are links to their website which render a page but there' s no mention of the clients website on that page. Why does this happen? Why is Google thinking that there is a link to the clients website yet on the page there is no mention of that clients website. There's no comments etc. I don't understand this and if anyone can shed a light??

How do I find links that link to several competitor sites?
I want to find linking pages that link to several of my competitors. Those are likely to be lists of tools I can also add my website to. My application is a dashboard tool/kanban board. So if I find a page linking both to say kanbannery.com and kanbanflow.com it will be likely to be a collection of links to kanban tools, ad my application can be relatively easy added. Magestic SEO has a "clique hunter" - is there anything similar in MOZ suite of tools?

Followed links from one of our biggest channel?
Hi everyone, I have a new client that's a huge company and has a disastrous ranking. It's a Human Resources company that among other things, they post job offers on their site in which people have to register to apply. As a channel to outreach more people, they are using a popular site for job offers on the country. There, the job position is described and they tell users to apply within this channel or on their own site. But there's no actual link to their site. Will Google find it spammy to post their site's link for that specific job offer on this channel on every job description? No competitor is doing it so it made me doubt a little bit. NOTE: The job offer channel doesn't allow us to "nofollow" a link. All the links are followed. Thanks to any suggestion.

Outgoing links - internal vs. external
I thought that the important factor in the value of a link was how many outing links a page has total. Some tools seems to tell me that the important data point is how many EXTERNAL links a page has. Which number should I be paying attention to when looking at pages I want to get linked from? (Yes, I know there are many other factors that are important)

Link Spamming or Not? Block Internal Search Results From Indexing?
We are looking at providing our customers with the best experience when performing a site search for a product. Would it be bad SEO practice to have our internal search results show results for all 4 Brands linking to different domains? This would mean multiple outgoing links to other owned sites from the same IP. Is it a best practice to block internal search results using robots.txt?
