      When i use this url in open site explorer it says that there are no internal links:
      http://goo.gl/d2s6tJ
      Page Authority is also 1, it should be higher of there are any internal links to it right?

      But i am very sure there are links to this url on my website. For example on this URL:
      http://goo.gl/ucixRH

      How certain can i be of this? Because if i can be very certain, than we have a internal linkstructure problem on our entire site i believe.

        Wilco,

        Your page http://www.badkamerxxl.nl/merken/D links to /f/merk-damixa. Using the Moz tool, if you are on the referring page, I used the link finding tool (pen with orange for internal links) and it is an internal link. If you click it you land on the appropriate url.

        Hope that helps you out, but if you want a clear picture of link structure, you could always use Screaming Frog. (The link to that page shows in screaming frog and shows over two hundred links away from the page linking to it.)

        Robert

        PS With one internal link from a page with a huge amount of links on it, you will not necessarily have a PA greater than one. Each link on the linking page divides the value of the page.

          Hello Robert,

          I used the MOZbar before and saw the orange highlights.
          But when i view the attributes and link tabs in MOZbar i can't see an incoming internal link. Attached you'll find an screenshot of my MOZbar view. Maybe i miss something?

          Also, i'm very sure there should be a lot of incoming links to the http://goo.gl/d2s6tJ url.

            I used the Moz tool also and at first I showed one internal link and posted that and then, when I came back it wasn't showing. It may have been picking up the G translate??. It does show in ScreamingFrog and, I used your site search went to the page with the link to the product page and it obviously worked. In SF it showed the urls as 200 so no problem there. 
            I am not sure why it would not show on the Moz tools. I know some links won't show in OSE, but I have never had an occurrence like this. 
            You do have an internal link, if you are to increase your PA you need to get more links to the page. I caution you about the overuse of internal links. I realize there are two schools on quantity: some say, where it used to be 100 as a limit now many more are acceptable. Personally, I would not want pages with hundreds of internal links.

            If you go to GWMT, and click on Search Traffic, you will see internal links. Click that and you will be able to look at individual URLs. That might assist you even more.

            LMK if that works or you need further assistance.

              indeed, it is very odd. Even if Screaming Frog says there are links, it looks like google does'nt recognize them. There are many more links to that particular page.. And i does'nt get PA.
              The problem is that this example is not the only problem, there are many many pages that do not get any PA. These pages have many internal links too.

              I can't figure why google does'nt recognize there links and give a PA.

                There is only one and there would be no increase in PA (which is not a Google metric but a Moz metric). Google is much later than other software in showing the links in GWMT. As to the PA it is as I said earlier, you have one link from a page with low PA and over 200 links. There is no way that is worth increasing the PA to 2. Sorry, just a reality. As you get more links and maybe some external ones and time, etc. the PA should increase. Hang in there.

                  I think the reason why MOZ is not getting the Page Authority right it's because MOZ did not crawl our entire site.

                  I'm getting a warning to upgrade my account because the crawl limit of 50.000 pages has reached.
                  Does Moz crawl/index pages with NOINDEX in meta?
                  In google we have 54.000 pages indexed.

                    Wilco,

                    If they crawled that page, the PA should be correct. Based on what I see external of Moz, it is.
