Links don't add up
-
Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm new to seomoz. I've run an analysis for one of my pages and it's showing 624 total links - 118 internal and 6 external. Why doesn't the sum of the internal and external links equal the total links?
-
Thanks Doug, I've sent a message to support. Thanks for all your help on this.
-
When I look at the links or export them to CSV it looks as if you're only getting a subset of data. (I could only get 30 links in the CSV file when there should have been more than 600.) Might be an idea to drop support a line.
Have you tried crawling the site with something like screaming frog?
-
OK, thanks Doug. That does add up now, although I don't understand why SEOMOZ thinks there are hundreds of nofollowed internal links, as these don't exist. In fact, if I ask it to show only nofollowed links, it can only find two.

624 is the number of total links (followed and no-followed).
Your 624 links are made up of:
- 616 Internal Links (of which 118 Followed Links)
- 8 External Links (of which 6 are Followed Links)
= 624 Links (of which 124 are Followed Links.)
You can see these metrics easily by looking at the Compare Link Metrics tab in Open Site Explorer.
Hope this helps.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the quick reply. I was using the Keyword Difficulty Tool, but I get the same result using Open SIte Explorer. The page is www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/samsung-galaxy-ace.htm
Thanks,
Steve

Steve, can you tell us what the page is and what you used for analysis? Was this Open Site Explorer?

Hello Guys! My website was at the top of Google search for some years... suddenly I almost can't reach first page! Moz ranks my website better than the competitors... what might be going one?

Link Assistant SEO Tool - Any Others?
I have the most boring copier service website, clients cool, concept is really boring; Well I am looking to generate this client some link back juice, cause this guy is struggling for traffic, and I am am struggling to generate a buzz about copier services?? Fortunately, it's only local, so that helps me with testing my localization campaigning. 🙂 Any opinions on this software? http://www.link-assistant.com Do you know of some better "Back Linking Software? I was considering buying it. But once I go to purchase it, I second guess myself; "It just looks shady, and the perpetual up-sale, turns me off.". I really just value the MOZer communities opinions! and I want to see what the community thinks of the above company, and if ya heard anything good, or bad. The Demo seems legit as hell!

Internal Links
I've searched high and low, but I could just be missing it... Is there a report on internal links? Maybe a count? Or better yet, a way to see internal anchor text?

Why is my site showing a redirect that doesn't exist?
I have two sites. www.plasticandfoampackaging.com www.flyfitters.com Previously I had flyfitters 301 redirecting to plasticandfoampackaging. I stopped that about a month ago. I moved the nameservers and stopped the redirect. I am a novice but it seems to be working perfectly. However, SEOMOZ is showing that the redirect still exists. Does the site need to be recrawled or do I need to update the info somewhere? Please advise. Thanks Patrick

SEOMoz Pro still hasn't crawled 10k pages for one campaign
I looked for a question in the forum already for this but couldn't find anything. Perhaps I am using the wrong keywords, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. I recently signed up with SEOMoz Pro and added two campaigns. For one campaign, 10,000 pages were crawled. For the other campaign, only about 300. It's been 2 weeks since I created the campaigns. Is there a way to force a crawl of the site associated with the second campaign?

Moz tool bar showing less links
Just checked our links for a couple of our sites and noticed that the number of inbound links has dropped from around 55,000 to 13,000 on one and from 6000 to 700 on the other. GWMT still showing the previous amounts. Anyone else experienced this over the last few days?
