Internal Followed Links:
-
Ran Open site explorer on my site:
It is saying that I only have "1" Internal followed link
could somebody tell me what that means... and maybe take a look at my site and see it this is a quick fix?
-
I am having this same issue. There are plenty of links on my website to other pages of my website, but I am only getting 1... I thought it might be because my links are in a spry menu, but I have some bottom links that are normal links.
I am the business owner/Photographer/Editor/Webmaster... I did not go to school for HTML (except for one basic class) if you know what I'm doing wrong, can you explain in laments terms? The hosting co I use is BlueHost.
Thanks
Kelly

| Internal Followed Links: are now 0!!?? |
Just went from 1 to 0 ? I can't figure this out.
-
Alan, what tool are you using to find links to /home?
-
But you still have links to /home. lots of them.
-
The home page used to be /home for about 2 months after I did the new site. I have recently found that since most links i had where pointed to .com/ I changed the site to .com/
the page rank is much better for .com/ then /home so I am going to stick with .com and weather the storm.
-
Agreed, one other thing i noticed was a lot of redirects from "http://www.psbspeakers.com/home to "http://www.psbspeakers.com"
This i believe would be doing you a lot of harm.
Linking back to teh home page correctly is very important.
reading this page will explain it. (ignore outdated stuff about inbound links can not harm you)
-
The robots stuff should be blocked. they are not really usable so I blocked them.
Thanks for your suggestions above... but wouldn't I still have more then 1 link on the home page even with all the little problems you found?
-
Your robots.txt is blocking 570 internal links.
You also have 442 unnessasary redirects. an example
The link to "http://www.psbspeakers.com/articles/HCC-Imagine-home-theater-review" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.psbspeakers.com/articles/HCC-Imagine-Home-Theatre-Review".
you should 301 redirect to all lowercase, and you should make sure that all yout internal links pioint to the lowercase version.
-
yep. typed it in correctly.
I am thinking that i have some sort of 301 or server side stuff effecting the crawl. -
some sort of glitch. are you sure you typed in the domain correctly? I assume it is http://www.psbspeakers.com/ and not how it was typed above.
I see no problem on your site, you've got tons of internal dofollowed links on the homepage.

Regarding internal duplicate content
Suppose two of my webpages from the same site are having 30% to 35% common content. The reason behind this common content is that I put same data and images (in the main content area) since both pages are partially related. But, title tag, meta description, h1 tag, urls are different.

International website - Image names
Hello All! In an international website, it is recommended to have a copy of every image for every language in the website (with translate filenames)? or it is better to use only one copy of each image and change only the alt attributes? Thanks for the help.

Site Wide Links
Howdy Moz! So our agency has been around for long enough to have a few sites we've built that have our credit in their footer resulting in a site wide link. Mostly just our name. We've heard that Google does not particularly like site wide links, should we go through and remove some of these old links?

Duplicate anchor text vs poor relevance in internal links
We're writing a number of blog posts, all based around a particular head-term (call it "women's widgets"). Each post will be centered around a different long-tail keyword (e.g. "women's brandA widgets", "women's brandB widgets", "women's type1 widgets", etc.). We want to link from the blog posts back to the main "women's widgets" category-level page on our site. Should we: a) Use the words "women's widgets" in each blog post and link that to the "women's widgets" page? This would be the most relevant, but it also seems like using the same anchor text on all of the posts, and linking to the main page, is not good since Google doesn't like seeing the same exact anchor text all the time, right? b) Link the long-tail keyword ("women's brandA widgets") to the main "women's widgets" page? That would solve the anchor text duplication issue, but then the anchor text doesn't seem relevant to the page being linked to (it might never mention "brandA" on that main page at all), and I think it would also hurt the blog post's chances of ranking for the long-tail keyword since we're basically saying that there's a more relevant page for that keyword somewhere else (i.e. you shouldn't link out from a page using the phrase you're trying to optimize that page for). c) Link a nearby word/phrase instead? For example, we could say "Trust Companyname.com for your women's widget needs", and link "Companyname.com" to the "women's widget" page. By proximity to the keyword phrase, that may help a bit, but again the relevancy of the anchor text to the page being linked to is fairly low. I'd hate to have a bunch of "click here", "read this" or "company name" anchor texts being used, just in the name of not overusing the head-term in the anchor text. Are we just missing something, or misunderstanding Google's preferences? What do you do when you don't want to overuse a keyword in anchor text, but you still want to link to a main category-level page using the head-term in order to tell Google that that is the most relevant, best page for that keyword? Is anchor text duplication more of a problem for external backlinks, and less of an issue for internal interlinking? Do you have a different suggestion, other than what I outlined above? Thanks for the help!

Thoughts on these footer links
I have a site that has about 20 footer links. A main Category and 4-5 links under each. The site is very large, so I feel they do have some value for navigation, and they don't blend in with the background at all. I know penguin was cracking down on footer links, but I don't feel theses are "spammy" links. Will it hurt long-term to leave these links, or should we pull them?
