Performed a Moz Crawl Test - Says I have 107 External Links on Homepage??
-
Hello Mozzers!
Exactly at the title suggests, I performed a crawl test on one our sites and the report says we have 107 external links on the homepage and another 34 on one of our internal category pages.
On both of these pages I can only find 7 external links, anyone know why the crawl test is saying this?
And if Moz is finding these external links could google be doing the same and punishing our site for the high number of external links?
Any response appreciated!

Ha thanks for that.
I read all over about these external links and everything seemed to point the same way that they were links pointing out over.
A reword in the description of the crawl test categories I think is needed!
Thanks again - Problem solved!

Richard,
I ran a test and only found 6 or 7 external links like yourself. I think you may be getting slightly confused.
Are you talking about colum AO (External Links) in a moz crawler report download? If so this doesn't refer to external links pointing off your page. It refers to external links pointing into that page.
I think theres an older post somewhere on here about it.

Yup found it! Staff confirm my beliefs.
Hope that helps!

How does a non-traditional TLD impact Moz's crawl test?
I have a client who moved from a .com to .academy domain 6 months ago, and their current crawl tests are coming back with a universal page authority of 1, along with 0 indexed backlinks. The previous version of the site had an average page authority of 35-40, the site architecture and content are nearly identical, and there are no other errors or red flags in the crawl report that would hold back their organic rankings. In fact, looking at the site's analytics account, I can see dozens of sites that provide current and properly functioning backlinks, non of which are listed on the crawl test. So the question is - is Moz currently unable to properly crawl a .academy (or any other non-traditional TLD) site, or is there some deeper issue with the site's SEO that I'm not seeing? Thanks!
