Trying to find all internal links to a specific page (without index)
-
Hi guys --
Still waiting on Moz to index a page of mine. We launched a new site over two months ago.
In the meantime, I really just need a list of internal links to a specific page because I want to change its URL. Does anybody know how to find that list (of internal links to 1 of my pages) without the Moz index?
I appreciate the help!

@marchexmarketingmcc intelligible results from Google tools is never to be expected.

Hi! You can use Screaming Frog and Google Search Console, as it is mentioned in this article: https://rush-analytics.com/blog/find-all-pages-on-website
Also, they've mentioned their own tool, but I haven't tried it yet. -
You can make complete Crawl of your webpage with Screaming Frog. If the number of pages is not large. You can check the internal Links and export it. With Pivot tables you can identify all pages which link to a specific page.
-
If you have a new page that replaces an out of date one. Maybe you'd be better off putting a 301 redirect in place.?

Screaming Frog

My answer is outdated, now it works like this:
- Go to Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools) and chose the site you want.
- On the left-hand menu, select LINKS, there you can also see your sites Internal links.

@sceorily Yes my answer is more than 4 years old...
now the link in the Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools) is called LINKS. There you can also see your sites Internal links.
The asteriks were wrong formatting from my side I guess.

If you are wanting to find all internal links on a specific page on your website. You can follow these steps in Ahref webmaster tool:
- Enter your website URL in Site Explorer
- Then, Click on Internal Backlinks - Where you can see all internal backlinks of specific page of your website.
I hope this helps!

@cesare-marchetti Hi there. As Moz has reminded me just now, it's almost 2022. I'm afraid your instruction appears to be out of date. Google has moved the Search box, and I find no "Traffic" link. By the way, are the ** (asterisks) supposed to be included in the search string? I tried with and without, no intelligible results.
Then again, intelligible results from Google tools is never to be expected.
I'll keep trying. But this is like throwing darts blindfolded, and not even knowing which direction the dartboard is.

Download XENU - http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html - run a crawl of your site and right click the properties of any page to see all internal links linking to that page.
-
Simple enough. Thanks Cesare.

Hi, you can use Search Console (Webmaster Tools) for that and see a list of internal links for your website as follows:
- On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
- On the left-hand menu, click **Search **Traffic, and then click Internal Links.
Cheers,
Cesare

I hope someone can help me with page indexing problem
I have a problem with all video pages on www.tadibrothers.com.
Technical SEO | | TadiBrothers
I can not understand why google do not index all the video pages?
I never blocked them with the robots.txt file, there are no noindex/nofollow tags on the pages. The only video page that I found in search results is the main video category page: https://www.tadibrothers.com/videos and 1 video page out of 150 videos: https://www.tadibrothers.com/video/front-side-rear-view-cameras-for-backup-camera-systems I hope someone can point me to the right way0 -
Drop in Indexed Page + Organic Traffic
Hey Moz Community, I've been seeing a steady decrease in search console of pages being indexed by Google for our eCommerce site. This is corresponding to lower impressions and traffic in general this year. We started with around a million pages being indexed in Nov of 2015 down to 18,000 pages this Nov. I realized that since we don't have around 3,000 or so products year round this is mostly likely a good thing. I've checked to make sure our main landing pages are being indexed which they are and our sitemap was updated several times this year, although we're in the process of updating it again to resubmit. I also checked our robots.txt and there's nothing out of the ordinary. In the last month we've recently gotten rid of some duplicate content issues caused by pagination by using canonical tags but that's all we've done to reduce the number of pages crawled. We have seen some soft 404's and some server errors coming up in our crawl error report that we've either fixed or are trying to fix. Not really sure where to start looking to find a solution to the problem or if it's even a huge issue, but the drop in traffic is also not great. The drop in traffic corresponded to lose in rankings as well so there could be correlation or none. Any ideas here?

Pages Indexed Not Changing
I have several sites that I do SEO for that are having a common problem. I have submitted xml sitemaps to Google for each site, and as new pages are added to the site, they are added to the xml sitemap. To make sure new pages are being indexed, I check the number of pages that have been indexed vs. the number of pages submitted by the xml sitemap every week. For weeks now, the number of pages submitted has increased, but the number of pages actually indexed has not changed. I have done searches on Google for the new pages and they are always added to the index, but the number of indexed pages is still not changing. My initial thought was as new pages are added to the index, old ones are being dropped. But I can't find evidence of that, or understand why that would be the case. Any ideas on why this is happening? Or am I worrying about something that I shouldn't even be concerned with since new pages are being indexed?

What damage can internal duplicated hidden links do to rankings?
Hi, I have a rental website, www.akilar.com, for Spain. My question is, on the home page we have links to the seperate regions of the country. Somehow in the redesign of the site, these links have been placed on every page of the site and hidden in the code at the top. The links are there as well on each page in the header, these are additional. The page quantity is over 2000 pages. Also this is taking the internal links well over the limit. In anyones opinion what damage has this caused as our rankings of late have fallen. Thanks very much for your help!

External Links on a Front Page
Does anyone have any links to information about external links on a front page ? I am advising a client that this is not the best idea and that they could be put in a different place but can't find any proof of this.

Why googlebot indexing one page, not the other?
Why googlebot indexing one page, not the other in the same conditions? In html sitemap, for example. We have 6 new pages with unique content. Googlebot immediately indexes only 2 pages, and then after sometime the remaining 4 pages. On what parameters the crawler decides to scan or not scan this page?

Too many on page links for WP blog page
Hello, I have set my WP blog to a page so new posts go to that page making it the blog. On a SEOmoz campaign crawl, it says there are too many links on one page, so does this mean that as I am posting my blog posts to this page, the search engines are seeing the page as one page with links instead of the blog posts? I worry that if I continue to add more posts (which obviously I want to) the links will increase more and more, meaning that they will be discounted due to too many links. What can I do to rectify this? Many thanks in advance
