How to increase number of internal links

[citricamente]

Hi all,

Using Open Site Explorer and Moz, we're getting only 50 internal links and like to know why. Our site is an online store with a quite good DA (26, see attached files) comparing with competitors, and all pages are in sitemap since several months, and crawled by google.

Assuming that we have more than 2000 products in our site, and more of 10000 crawled pages with a link to the home page, we can't understand how "Total internal links" returns only 50.

How can we increase internal links? Perhaps we misunderstood the meaning of "Total internal links" in page metrics. What does this value exactly mean?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

google will find them unless you have hidden them behind no-index, but the number of internal links is not important, what is important is your linking structure.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your help. Very useful article that helped me understand the flow of PR. However, I would also like to understand how MOZ and OSE figure out the figure for total internal links, and what does this figure exactly mean.

Just that a count of internal links. I don't think it is the most helpful stat.

Why it is not reporting all your links I don't know, but I can crawl your site for you using 6the Bing API and can tell you if you have a problem that's is blocking the links

That would be great. If you can provide an email address, I'll email you with the site details you may need

I do see for the root domain that there are 8500 links, and only about 400 of them are external. Do you perhaps have absolute internal links using non-www, but your campaign is using www?
