Why are these internal pages not showing any internal links?

[MiguelSalcido]

If you look at Author profile pages like this one, http://experts.allbusiness.com/author/denise-oberry (THE top contributor on the site with over 82 posts under her belt), or any Author profile page, they show zero internal links or Page Authority. The same goes for most posts for each author on the site.

Author pages should show internal links from every post the author has on the site. And specific posts should also have internal links from categories, etc. Yet they show zero.

The only posts that show internal links and PA are ones that were either syndicated to the root domain's homepage, or syndicated to Fox Small Business. ZERO internal links.

Does anyone know why this is? The root domain does not act this way with Author pages and posts. And I see nothing blocking links or indexing via the robots.txt file or page level nofollow tags.

A real head scratcher for this SEO nerd, that I'm sure someone here will have a really simple answer to.

I assume you're using OSE? It looks like rogerbot hasn't crawled the page - which why it doesn't show PA or links.

That author page, for their Top Contributor, has been there for years! So have her posts. Also, she gets a nice link from the subdomain's homepage. Thus, should be indexed and crawled by OSE by now. Especially with such a huge DA on the root and subdomains. So that is not it. Also, this is happening subdomain wide, across all posts and author profiles.

OSE doesn't have the resources to crawl as much of the web as other services. For a complete backlink picture, check as many sources as you can - OSE, Majestic, AHREFs, Webmaster Tools, etc.

[iSTORM-New-Media]

Like Kingof5 said, OSE doesn't do as large a crawl as many other tools out there. They pride themselves on accuracy not volume.

It looks like a large site, probably with many subdomains. OSE likely just has crawled that page or hasn't in a long time. Might want to take a look at the sitemap, see if those pages/subdomain/link to that sitemap subdomain are contained in it.

[MiguelSalcido]

It is not an issue of OSE not having found those links and pages, I can tell you all that with 1000% certainty. The domain and subdomain have massive authority and therefore would be deeply crawled, and are. Sitemaps are fine too.
