Find all the back links to all the posts/pages within the blog subdirectory only.
-
Hi, I am new to Moz. I using the open site explorer to find backlinks for a website's blog. The website itself is huge. I want to find all the backlinks to all the posts/pages within the blog subdirectory only. Not the regular website. I ran a few reports, but it is giving me links to that page, not all the sub pages.Fi

Hi Darren
In order to view backlinks to a specific sub-folder or directory you will need to use the advanced report feature to filter the results. Here is a screenshot of the settings: http://www.screencast.com/t/qeit2kc2
You also want to makes sure to end your URL with a trailing slash, however you will only find links to pages in that immediate sub-folder.
So if your URL is domain.com/blog/
The your results will show links that are finding pages within /blog/ and not /blog/other/
If you need to go deeper then you would run the same report with /blog/other/ as the search URL.
Let me know if this helps!

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. When I use open site explorer it shows only links to the URL or links to the entire domain. How can I see links only within a certain directory?

Go to opensiteexplorer to explore your page or website linkprofile.Its quite simple to use.Add the the directory URL in search bar and press enter.
Export report and sort data like you need.

How to find a list of pages with missing H1 tags
An external SEO/PPC agency did an audit of our site a little while back and said that over 10% of our pages were missing an H1 tag. I am trying to find a way to gather a full list of these in order for our web company to fix. I downloaded the Crawl Test report thinking it would include info on tags in there but it doesn't seem to. Is there a different tool I can use that will get me this information?

On-Page Grader not working?
I've been using the On-Page Grader tool for a while now, and have always had great success using it to better optimize my pages. But just recently I've noticed that it's not detecting any changes I make to any of my pages.

For example: One of my pages was coming up with Exact Keyword is Used in Page Title. So I changed it and uploaded it to the site and then clicked the re-grade page button. The only problem is that it's not seeing any of the changes that I made.1 -
Can't delete items from the on page grader
I check every single box and they don't delete. This is driving me nuts. Please can you delete them for me because I am not impressed with this AT ALL. In fact I am getting so cross I am in danger of screaming hysterically which might get me the sack and it would be all your fault. That was slightly tongue in cheek, but please can you fix it please. please.
