Is there a tool to find a strange link
-
hi, i have used screaming frog seo and it has brought up a link to another site we run but this is a strange link
the link is
http://www.in2town.co.uk/www.clairehegarty.co.uk/virtual-gastric-band-with-hypnotherapy
i have gone through the site on the home page as this is where it is and i cannot find, so i was just wondering if there was a tool that i can use to pin point where it is.
any help would be great
-
cheers for that. it is strange that i am looking for links on the home page which there are around 140 or so and then google is pulling links from the different sections and showing them on the home page.
will see if i can find the solution to try and reduce the link
many thanks for all your help

Using tools from SEOBook, I'm seeing 228 internal links on your homepage to your category pages and articles. They appear to be legitimate links so I wouldn't worry that there are too many though you should double-check that you don't have too many duplicate links unless they are necessary.
As for http://www.in2town.co.uk/Health Magazine, that's just an improperly encoded space though it would seem given your URL structure that it should be a dash - not a space. Once again, check Open Site Explorer and that should help you find what is linking to it.

hi mike, i have just looked at the image and found it, many thanks for this, spent hours sorting this out.
just came across another one, which i do not understand why i have a bad link like this, so will find this now.
http://www.in2town.co.uk/Health Magazine
if i can work out why i have so many links on the home page, where i am being told there are 262 when really there are only around 140.
it seems for some reason links are showing on the home page from other pages.
many thanks for all your help, should have come on here earlier and asked, would have saved myself five hours looking for the problem

That odd URL is the link in the image on the right side of your site for "lose weight today with gastric band hypnotherapy".
I used Open Site Explorer to find what pages were linking in and they all mention "(img alt) gastric" which made it easier to pinpoint where on the pages the link was coming from.

Broken canonical link errors
Hello, Several tools I'm using are returning errors due to "broken canonical links". However, I'm not too sure why is that. Eg.

Page URL: domain.com/page.html?xxxx
Canonical link URL: domain.com/page.html
Returns an error. Any idea why? Am I doing it wrong? Thanks,

What are the lowest acceptable metrics for a link?
I understand there is a subjective, human factor when deciding to link to/from a site. Nonetheless, what are the lowest Moz or Majestic metrics that are acceptable when building links. At what point do you say this site doesn't have the profile I would want? I am looking to clean up the backlink profile of a site. Also, I would like to set a criteria for building links in the future. I appreciate your thoughts on metrics when it comes to link building.

How can I find my Webmaster Tools HTML file?
So, totally amateur hour here, but I can't for the life of me find our HTML verification file for webmaster tools. I see nowhere to look at it in Google Webmaster Tools console, I tried a site:, I googled it, all the info out there is about how to verify a site. Ours is verified, but I need the verification file code to sync up with the Google API and no one seems to have it. Any thoughts?

No inbound links. Should I link-build or create new content?
I have a PR4 site with good traffic but the blog is not very popular--the posts do not generate any backlinks and hardly get any traffic. Yet, I continue to kick out a new post every week. Site: http://www.stadriemblems.com/
Technical SEO | | UnderRugSwept
Blog: http://www.stadriemblems.com/blog/ I keep posting content so that Google keeps crawling the site and viewing it as fresh (and yes, I'm posting for my human visitors' benefit too!), but I'm wondering if eventually this will hurt more than help if Google detects all these new pages are not being linked to, and therefore starts viewing the site as low quality and devalues it. So should I: Keep posting Stop posting and build links to the posts Try to promote my blog to get more traffic and hope people link to it Something else or some combination of the above0 -

OSE - still showing me links are there when they are not?
Has anyone else had the issue for a couple of months now where ose is showing links that are live when they are not. I am doing seo for a big e-commerce website so it is important i can find out what the anchor text distribution is for the domain. How is this possible when ose shows me links which are not live? There's been 2 or 3 updates and still showing expired links in our back-link profile. This is very frustrating and has led me to see if anyone else can recommend an alternative which is more up to date? And yes before seomoz reply, i know you only update a certain percentage of the web.

InSite Linking Best Practices
When creating links within your website, is it bad to have a anchor text link pointing back to the same page? Say the page the homepage is optimized for "credit cards". If I have a "credit cards" anchor text link on the page the link points to, is that bad practice? Secondly, if it's better to put that link on a different page, wouldn't I be placing a keyword that's optimized for a different page on the wrong page? (hopefully I'm making sense) Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
