      Ran Open site explorer on my site:

      www.psbsperakers.com

      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?

        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.

          yep. typed it in correctly. 
          I am thinking that i have some sort of 301 or server side stuff effecting the crawl.

            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.

              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?

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 (ignore outdated stuff about inbound links can not harm you)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

                          The  microsoft IIS toolkit, you need to have a iis web server to use it.

                          if this is a problem i will send you a report

                            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.

                            http://www.photogbykelly.com

                            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
