Why Open Site Explorer is Showing 0 Total Internal Links?
-
Open Site Explorer is reporting "0" value under "Total Internal Links" as well as "Internal Followed Links" metrics for my website. I have a good interlinking of pages throughout the site.
Is there an issue with OSE (Open Site Explorer) crawler ? OR There are some crawling problems with our Website's structure ?
Can anybody please give an idea or recommendations on this ? -
Hi, i got this problem too before on my sites. now it's solve..

Hi David
Thanks for the help. Domain name is www.xgenanimation.com. If you can look and advise.

Hi David,
I am having a similar problem with one of my sites. completeslidingdoors.com says I have 0 internal links when i very clearly have many. Could you take a quick look at this and let me know what you think?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Daivd, can you take a look at https://www.whichcartridge.co.uk please. It is also reporting 0 internal links.
Thanks.
-
Hi David, I am seeing the same thing, would it be possible to look at https://www.yourtravelspark.com/
My Moz report is also saying that I went from 10.3k links in August to 526 last month - any reason that would happen?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Jaclyn.

Hi David,
We also noticed that our website - https://workwearplusaustralia.com.au/ - has a 0 internal links, can you see why please?
Thanks! -
The links should be more diverse and the external pages are being link to from diverse links and so forth and so forth. There is no exact number of links I can say that would allow our crawler to crawl the links, as it can depend on many factors.
For http://www.eskewdumezripple.com, we are indexing links to multiple category/tag URLs that are contributing to the link count for example:
http://www.eskewdumezripple.com/studio-life/archives/2014/05
http://www.eskewdumezripple.com/studio-life/blog/by_tag/tag/community+engagementYou can use pagination to see what type of links are being picked up here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eskewdumezripple.com%2F&no_redirects=0&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1
HTTP status will indicate wether or not we crawled the page (200 status or No Data).
Hope this helps

David,
Thank you for your prompt response.
However, I know that http://trahanarchitects.com/ has in fact obtained several external links (around 20) all pointing back to the homepage in the past 160 days. So are you saying in order for Moz to crawl our internal links (which it's incorrectly has indexed at 0) we should be obtaining external links for more than just our homepage? It sounds to me like the issue is our external links aren't diverse enough.
I also found another discrepancy when looking at a competitors website. According to the Moz tool, http://www.eskewdumezripple.com/ has 144,000 internal links, but there is no possible way this is correct. According to Google http://www.eskewdumezripple.com/ only has 610 pages indexed. That's an insane number of internal links for such few pages. And when looking at the website you can tell just by looking that there aren't 144k internal links. Please advise.

Hi Will
Sorry to hear we have not crawled your site.
There are currently no new links going to any page on the site that will send us back for possible crawling. Also many of the pages indexed are returning 404s.
To stay in an index and potentially have metrics calculated, you want to have continuous and fresh links going to the site to active pages. It most likely that the external links were captured over a span of time within a 160 day window but not enough close together to deem your site important to crawl. These are both the most common reasons we may index links but not crawl.
Hope this helps!

Hi David,
I'm having the same issue with the following domain: http://trahanarchitects.com/
It's saying the site has 0 internal links but we know that is not true. Our external links are registering but not our internal links. Please advise.
-
Hello!
Your site does not have enough links or authority for us to crawl.
Keep link building to all pages on your site and on sites that are frequently visited with high authority which can help increase your score.
-
David,
Same here. (http://www.bijouxusa.com)
Our page authority shows 34
I am seeing Total Internal Links and Internal Equity-Passing Links as 0.
Is this any actionable information?
Thanks for your help
-
Hi Chloe
It's possible that your site's authority is too low for us to crawl your internal pages. The Crawl delay in robots could also be preventing us from crawling.
You will want to keep link building as currently there are no new links being discovered which means we won't revisit your site until we can find quality links from other sites: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=ccsadoption.org%2F&filter=&source=&target=domain&page=1&sort=crawled
Hope this helps
-
Hello, I am seeing the same problem for the following domain: https://ccsadoption.org/
Could anyone provide any further info on this issue? I can't see any robots.txt issues...
Thanks,
Chloe

Hi arb3ux!
It appears your site/server is blocking our user-agent when we start from http://, we receive no response when we attempt to crawl as rogerbot or dotbot
I can reach your site directly by going to https://
So there is a configuration preventing us from reaching http to be re-directed to https
I recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to help isolate the issue. Please let me know if they make any specific changes and I can re-run the test to see if future crawls will be able to index your links.
-
Maybe outdated but we do have the same situation for https://www.voetbalwedden.net
@travis: can you take a look on our campaign?
-
Hi Travis
I am seeing No Data for the HTTP status for your top pages so while we can find external links to your page, we have not indexed your site yet but it is processing and you should see your site indexed after our next update on 10/27.
Hope this helps!
-
Hello,
My website www.onlineslotshub.com has the same problem as above. I looked at my robots file and that does not seem to be the problem. Could you take a look and let me know if you see what would be causing this for my website?

Hello!
For sparta.nl it appears we haven't fully crawled the https site but have previously crawled non-https which now have 301 re-directs to the new URL. You should see your internal linking numbers increase over the next few crawls as it can take time for the metrics to change over.
-
Hi David,
I have the same problem with the internal links. site is sparta.nl
-
Anytime!
Cheers
-
Thanks David.
I hope this helps.
-
Your robots.txt is blocking us with the wildcard directive at the very bottom.
You will want to add:
User-agent: dotbot
Disallow:This should update when we release a new index next month.
Hope this helps!

Hi David

Hi Anirban!
OSE crawls differently from our diagnostics crawler so it doesn't quite follow the link structure within the source code unless we can reach the page through other important sites that are linking to you.
Just so you know, here's how we compile our index:
- We grab the most recent index.
- We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains).
- We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 90,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index).
Therefore, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update) then it won't show up in our index.
Other times can be re-directs and javascript and server errors that would prevent access to the site. If you can tell me your domain name I would love to take a look.
Talk to you soon!

Unsolved Inbound Links Sudden Decline
Hi,
Link Explorer | | Jane090987
There is a question of my site that the number of linking domains has experienced a sudden decline - lost inbound links for around 100k in several days.
We are wondering the reason of this sudden decline, is it a common fluctation or is there some problems in our site? Thanks for your answers in advance!0 -
Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer?
Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer. What is the cause of this? We've checked the robots.txt and htaccess file, but so far we can't find anything that would be blocking Moz from crawling the internal links. We manage loads of other clients on this platform and this is the first time we've run into this issue. What else can I check?

Dofollow link from Moz user profile still not showing in OpenSiteExplorer
Hi everyone! Refering to my last question http://moz.com/community/q/dofollow-link-from-moz-user-profile-not-showing-in-opensiteexplorer, the last update was on March 10 and I'm still searching my dofollow link from my Moz user profile http://moz.com/community/users/625691 after have 200 MozPoints, Opensiteexplorer only found the nofollow link from the icon, but nothing from the anchor text of my URL. Is possible that only take the first link to my blog and ignore the rest if it have the same href? 😞 Thanks! fTdwaO6.png

Open Site Explorer is finding old html Files that havn't been on my site in two years... even after a 301 Redirect. HELP!
Hello!
Link Explorer | | morganlindsaycole
My problem started when I became aware that when I checked my backlinks for the past two years, it states that no backlinks have been found. When I ran a site analysis on SEMrush - No backlinks are found on the URL, or Domain. There are 7 Backlinks on the Root Domain and those were configured in 2012. I made a second domain www.columbusweddingphotographersreviews.comwhere I linked to my domain at www.morganlindsayphotography.com so I could test that google had crawled both websites and after, still no backlink was found. I have also been published on a dozen or so wedding websites that has linked to my website where they are follow links and still nothing. (http://www.brendasweddingblog.com/blogs/2015/2/23/an-elegant-fall-wedding-in-ohio-with-morgan-lindsay-photography) **Website Background- **
In 2012 I had two separate websites - One for Seniors that was an HTML website I build in Dreamweaver at www.morganlindsayphotography/seniors and another for Wedding Clients found at www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding - (wordpress) I had a Splash page wish was found atwww.morganlindsayphotography.com. Two years ago when I became aware splash pages were frowned upon in Google, I combined the two websites and stayed with the Wordpress which was www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding
Because I did not want users to have to go to www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding to view my url, Godaddy moved my wordpress site from thewww.morganlindsyphotography.com/Wedding directory towww.morganlindsayphotography.com When I ran the Open Site Explorer with Moz I found after runningwww.morganlindsayphotography.com the TOP pages on this domain according to Page Authority are old HTML files from my senior website, as well as old Posts from when my wordpress site was found atwww.moragnlindsayphotography.com/Weddings
No current pots or pages are showing up besideswww.morganlindsyphotography.com I do run a cache management system to speed up my system and recently cleaned out my .htcacess folder and still had no luck. This is difficulty something **Last night I made a 301 Redirect in my htaccess for all the old links pointing to the new links as best as I could. My htacess folder looks like this.. BEGIN WordPress <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Feedburner Links Showing Up In OSE
I, for years now, have been seeing lots of links from http://feeds.feedburner.com/ showing up very high in backlink profiles. Why is this? And if these links are not passing link juice why are they being reported on in OSE? Seems like there should be some sort of filter for these, or that OSE bot should follow robots.txt directives as googlebot does.

Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
I'm curious to know why Moz, YouTube, G+ and some other links are not showing the OSE link profile as NOFOLLOW or DOFOLLOW for our website whiteboardcreations.com? When doing analysis, we see a lot of companies YouTube pages with their NF link and G+ page links and even see a lot of the Moz community members with their Profile pages showing the NF link or the DF links. I'm confused as to why OSE is not picking up any of our links from those respective sites. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. - Patrick
