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!

How to increase external and internal followed links?
From analyzing my competitor‘s websites I can see that I have way fewer external and internal followed links. The number of followed links my competitors are getting each week increases by around 300. Where do these links come from? How can I increase my followed links ?

Does link have any value?
I recently received a link, but upon inspecting the page source on the site I did not see the link in the coding. Is this a link with any SEO value? Is google able to see this link? Note: Upon inspecting the actual link on the page, I do see coding with a followed link, but on the page source, only the actual table in which it is listed shows in the coding, with none of the content - including our link, showing.

We are moving to HTTPS and wanted to know if our link building efforts were in vain or will the link juice pass to HTTPS?
We are switching to HTTPS and want to make sure the links we've gotten in the past will still transfer since they are pointing to HTTP? I'd hate to go back through and ask people to please add an s to the link.

The Benefit of Internal Backwards Links in Product Descriptions
We want to work out if it is beneficial to use links pointing back to categories (higher up in the structure) on our website product pages. For example, our Aria Dress by Jadore is found through the path: Home > Bridesmaid > Full Length Bridesmaids Dresses > Aria Dress In the product description for the Aria Dress, is it beneficial to include internal links pointing back to higher branches in the website structure .e.g. the Full Length Bridesmaids Dresses category page, the Bridesmaid category page, as well as linking back to the 'Jadore' page? Will doing this for every dress (linking back to category page), improve the SEO of these category pages? How many internal links is too many to include on any given product description? Is it more important to ensure a direct link to every single webpage so that they can be reached by Google, or to include links in both directions .i.e. from Home > Product Category > Product, as well as from Product > Product Category? Thank you.

Wierd link
We have recently receive linek from one website. The site is quite very powerful for the word we try to rank, however the link is kind of wired. This is how it looks like: http://villasdiani.com/?db The webmaster of the site said that he ads (?db) on the end so as we would see on our analytics the traffic from his site.. Also the link is from footer...is this good or it does not have value

JavaScript is crawled by search engines, isn’t it? Does it mean that links embedded in JavaScript pass link juice?
I wonder If links embedded in JavaScript from an external Website pass link juice to the linked page and thus have a positive effect on google rankings. I read that JavaScipt is craweld. Does it mean that also the link juice is passed? I'm looking forward to your answers.

Do sites on the same c-block and same server count as seperate linking root domains when linking to each other?
Lets say there are 50 businesses who have their website on the same server and are on the same c-block but the owners of the individual sites are different (i.e. they are all completely different sites not relevant to each other). Each of those sites are linking to each other due to a feature on the sites. This obviously increases the number of total links to each site but does it also increase the number of linking root domains? Or does this just show up as one linking root domain due to all of them being on the same server and the sharing the same c-block?
