      When downloading an anchor text report in OSE, there are very often a bunch or anchor texts at the end of the report that have 0 next to them (i.e. anchor texts that come from 0 domains and from 0 links - if you want a URL to run as an example try www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ and paginate your way to page 7)

      Surely it is not possible for an anchor text to be found on zero domains/links - so how should these zeros be interpreted? There are numerous different anchor texts showing these zero's.

      Thanks in advance for any responses.

        I could be wrong but looking at the anchor text source they all appear to be internal links.

        Click on the plus symbol in the 'Anchor Text Term' column in open site explorer and this data should be visible.

        Hope this helps.

          Ah so that would make sense. Anything with a zero next to it can be assumed to be an internal link and can therefore (in the circumstance I am looking at) be discounted.

          @Mozstaff - Maybe an update to this report to add internal / external filters + various other anchor text filters would be good?
