      Greetings,

      I am working on a website, https://www.nasscoinc.com, and ran a Moz Crawl Test on it.  According to the crawl test, only 2 of the website's hundreds of pages are receiving internal links.  When I run a similar test on the site using Screaming Frog, I see that most of the pages have at least one internal link.

      I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before with the crawl test; and there is a way to get the crawl test to see the internal links?

      Thanks!

        Hey There!

        I took a look into your account and I don't see that there is a crawl test for the site www.nasscoinc.com on this account. I went ahead and requested a crawl test for the site on my account so I can look into this more directly. Once the crawl has completed and I have some more insight for you, I'll follow up with you here.

          Hi Chiaryn,

          Thank you; i look forward to what you see.

          Please keep in mind that this website has been around for at least a year, so should have been crawled.

          You can reach me directly at evallee@topfloortech.com

            Thanks for your patience!

            I took a look at the crawl test for www.nasscoinc.com and I've checked the site in our index, Open Site Explorer, and I do see that we have currently only indexed 2 internal pages on the site. This usually means that we haven't found enough high quality links to the site to consider the site valuable enough to fully index.

            Mozscape focuses on a breadth-first approach. Therefore we almost always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages, and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. While we have found some external links to www.nasscoinc.com, we haven't really found any to the internal pages of the site and the links we have found to the homepage aren't very high quality links.

            For now, the best thing you can do to help your domain become indexed is to work on link building for links from sites with high mozrank. If you need help with that, you may want to ask the Moz Q&A community about it.

            I hope this information helps! While the site and links may not be indexed yet, give it some time - maybe we'll see it in OSE next month.
