Only 2 Inbound Links which are the Redirect 301 Links

[Franksen3o3]

Hello Everyone,

We're having a serious Problem with the ranking of our website so we started testing the website in different Tools. Almost all of the tools say our website works great and in comparision to our competitors we win in almost every test – but we rank behind them.

The only thing that makes me wonder is the fact that our website has only 2 Inbound links (Open Site Explorer) when the link source is set to only internal. And the only links shown are 2 links that come from the old http (we're using https) and redirect 301 to our https. No other links – in other tools we have around 80 internal links to our rmain https-webadress.

Does anyone have an idea where that comes from? I'm afraid this might be our issue in ranking behind of lots of our competitors.

Lokking forward to your ideas and suggestions.

Howdy.

So, here is the thing - MOZ link crawler is very delayed. They crawl about once a month. Also, as any other crawler, there is a limitation on resources. Therefore there is high chance that simply your link profile is not up-to-date. If all other tools are saying that it's the case, then you are good.

As for why your website is not ranking better than competitors - there are so many other signals than links. And the metrics are just metrics.

Hope this helps.
