Internal Links Count in Crawl Report
-
My understanding of the 'Internal Links' results in a moz crawl report is that it represents the number of links on the given page that link to other pages on the same site.Assuming this is a correct assumption:
We recently ran a crawl report on www.phase1tech.com. Some of the pages are coming back with a large amount of 'internal links'. These 2 pages for example are showing 800 internal links:
http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events
http://www.phase1tech.com/ContactThen there are a number of pages coming back with 705 Internal Links, including:
http://www.phase1tech.com/Dalsa-CameraLink-Cameras
http://www.phase1tech.com/Hitachi-CameraLink-CamerasAt best there are approximately 70-80 links on these pages. Where are these large counts coming from? Is there a means to see what the links being reported on are?
At the same time the 'Too Many On-Page Links' indicates 'No' for some pages with a high number of links, and 'Yes' for pages with a low number of links. For example:
http://www.phase1tech.com/Baumer-SX-Series
Too Many On-Page Links: Yes
Internal Links: 2
What's up with that? -

Hey there! Sorry about the confusion here. I'll start by clarifying Internal Links - they are the number of pages linking to a specific page on the same domain.
Let's take http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events and pop it into Open Site Explorer with some filters. We'll "Target" this specific page, with internal only "Link Source(s)" and allow all link types. Now let's have a look: http://screencast.com/t/upxeS1gSNm - This shows us the 800 Internal Links being referred to in the Crawl Test. We see 799 total links detailed below, including the target page itself.
I hope this helps!

Hi!
I would look at your www. and non www redirect
OSE is probably counting all your pages for both www and non www + the blog subdomain.
Plus older pages that aren't there anymore. You might have done a cleanup and removed some old pages. Those might've gotten included in the count as well.

Site Crawl 1-page 301 status error but httpstatus.io says its 403
I am trying to run a site crawl for my website and MOZ is only resulting in 1 page crawled with the home page URL Status Code of 301. However when I run it in httpstatus.io it is giving me a 403 status error. Im curious as to why MOZ is saying its a 301 and httpstatus.io is saying 403. Is there anything I can do in MOZ first to get the site crawled before asking my developers to look into the 403 error?

Moz Crawl only crawling the top level page (1 page)
For the past few mounts my weekly site crawl has been inconsistent. One week works fine, it crawls all of my 500 or so pages. The following week it only crawls 1 page (http://mydomain.com) and nothing else. A few weekly scan go by and the crawl is back up the the 500 or so pages.I went ahead and created several campaigns with duplicate settings and crawled the site. Most times but not all the new campaign's crawl works fine crawling all pages. But within a week or two the weekly crawl will fail again. (crawling 1 page). Currently i have four campaign's all with the same settings running weekly crawls. 2 campaign's crawled the 500 pages and two crawled only the single page. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Keyword Stuffing Count Differs to Source Code
Moz's on page grader counts 33 instances of a keyword however, when looking into the source code I only find 8. I have checked if capitalization affects the find feature when viewing the source code and it doesn't. Has anyone else come across this issue and found an explanation?

Anyone having problems with the Competitive Link Finder?
Half the reason I signed up for moz is because of the Competitive Link Finder. Every time I enter in the info and hit the go button in a split second I get this message "No common links found between sites, try adding more competitors" I've entered in several different searches for different industries and get the same message. I've tried it on several browsers and on a mac and pc. If anyone has an idea about what might be causing this please let me know.

Moz Report-Canonical
Moz crawl reported in issues: Rel Canonical: using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which url should be seen as canonical. But we have sorted out this a long time ago. Is there a way where can I verify if the moz crawl is wrong or if we really do not specify the canonical?

Is there a problem with New Campaign crawls being slow?
Hi I've created 3 new campaigns but results not showing as usual. I know the full results take up to 7 days but I usually see some basic info in a few minutes of creating the campaign. This problem happened a while ago and the campaign was never quite right in SEOMoz. Thanks for your help Steve
