Links from no-indexed pages in Open Site Explorer
-
I just looked up a site in Open Site Explorer. After putting in the site, I get a list of domains, links etc which is very useful. At the bottom is a note which I have pasted below. It mentions "24 links from no-indexed pages" and says we can't get any info on these. Is there a way to see what the 24 links are so I can investigate further?"Why does my number of inbounds links listed not match my total links count? The listed number may be slightly different because we only show 25 links per domain (so that you see a variety). Additionally you have 24 links from no-indexed pages. Unfortunately, we can't get info for those links."

Hi!
No-indexed pages are actually pages that have a "rel=noindex" tag in their source code. When crawlers hit this, they stop crawling the page per the directive so we can't report any data on them. Because of that, you won't see the links referenced to anywhere except the bottom of the page where we provide a generalized count. Hope this helps clear things up and that you have a great holiday!
Best,
Sam
