      So I'm working on a law firm site and looking at the links for pages in OSE. For practice areas, the links to each practice area are in the left hand menu on every page of the site. Can anyone help me with this question:

      Example: http://www.comitzlaw.com/personal-injury/car-accidents.html

      When I plug this URL into OSE, it only shows one linking page, www.comitzlaw.com/practice-areas.html, yet there is a link to this on every other page in the site.

      When I plug in a random competitors page, www.lesagelblaw.com/Personal-Injury-Overview/Car-Accidents.shtml, it does show all the internal pages linking to it.

      Since I'm not using a flash menu or javascript, any ideas as to why no internal links are showing up in OSE? Even when I plug in the main URL for the home page, it only shows 4 other internal pages linking to it, yet there is a link on every page. What am I doing wrong?

        OSE only updates about once a month, di you only recently add links?

          I've been adding external links for the past month and one new directory link that was approved on 9/23 showed up in last week's update (although there were plenty of others that were indeed approved and do show up for competitors). It's the internal links not showing up that worry me. Those have existed for months.

            I had a look at your code and i cant see anything wrong, maybe a seomoz staffer will answer.

              This is probably one to email to the help desk staff at help@seomoz.org and ask them directly. So sorry you're seeing problems!

                Emailed and got a response. The site was originally built a while back using many tables for positioning and the main nav links were deep in nested tables. Thought this may be the problem, so I converted site to all divs. Ran a crawl test and noticed all pages have page authority now (used to be only the home page) so looks like we have a fix.

                  good to here, I did not know that, i guess they just dont have the processing power to dig that deep, unlike Bing and Google

                  • I have a site that is showing Internal 0 Equity-Passing Links, 0 Internal links, and every page bar the homepage has a PageAuthority of 0\. Any suggestions on why this could be?
