      We recently ran the crawl test report and for most of our pages we are getting 1150 internal links but 40-50  as the link count. Why is there such a big disparity?

        The '40-50' is the actual amount of links on that specific page (internal and external). The '1150' is the total amount of internal links on the website (up to 3000 linked pages).
