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 (ignore outdated stuff about inbound links can not harm you)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.

Product content length & links within product description
Hello, I have questions regarding content length and links within descriptions. With our ecommerce site, we have thousands of products, each with a unique description. In the product description, I have links to the parent category and grandparent category (if it has one) in the main product text which is generally about 175 words. Then I have a last paragraph that's about 75 words that includes links to our main homepage and our main product catalogue page. Is the content length long enough? I used to use text that was 500 words, and shortening it I still rank when launching new products, so I don't think an increase in text length will have any additional benefit. I do see conflicting information when I do searches, with some people recommending a minimum of 300 words and some saying to try and go a 1000 for category pages. In regards to the links, I noticed a competitor has stopped following this format, so I'm unsure if I should keep going too. Is it too many links to have each of the products link back to the main catalogue and homepage? Is it good to have links with anchor text to the categories a product is in? There are breadcrumbs on the page with these links already. There are already have heaps of links on our pages (footer, and a right sidebar with image links to relevant categories), so my pages do get flagged for too many links. Thanks!

Problem with internal links.
Hello,I am trying to do an audit of the internal links of my site at zenplugs.com. I am having great difficulty simply trying to establish how many internal links there are on the home page. Off the top of my head I think there are probably 20-25 but Screaming Frog tells me there are 574, the MozBar is listing zero and Open Site Explorer is telling me my site hasn't been indexed yet. I have tried several web based services but most of them don't work. Can anyone recommend a tool which has given them a number they trust? My second query is that one of the tools told me that there are 4 links on the home page with no anchor text, linking to http://zenplugs.com/#. Is this a problem? Many thanks, in advance. Toby

To many links hurting me even though they are helping users
I have a scrabble based site where I function as a anagram solver, scrabble dictionary look up and tons of different word lists. In each of these word lists I link every word to my scrabble dictionary. This has caused Google to index 10018 pages total for my site and over 300 of them have well over 100 links. Many of them contain over 1000 links. I know Google's and SEOMOZ stance that anything over 100 will hurt me. I have always seen the warnings in my dashboard warning me of this but I have simply ignored it. I have posted on this Q and A that I have this issue, but IMO having these links benefit the users in the aspect that they don't have to worry about coping the text and putting it in the search box, they can simply click the link. Some have said if it helps the users then I am good, others have said opposite. I am thinking about removing these links from all these word lists to reduce the links per page. My questions are these. 1. If I remove the links from my page could this possible help me? No harm in trying it out so this is an easy question 2. If I remove the links then I will have over 9000 pages that are indexed with Google that no longer have a link pointing to them, except for the aspect that they are indexed with Google still. Is it going to hurt me if I remove these links and Google no longer sees them linked from my site or anywhere else?

Footer link to home page?
Quick question - is it a best practice to add a footer link on each page of a website that points back to your home page, with the anchor text being your official brand name?
