      We recently ran a crawl report on www.phase1tech.com. Some of the pages are coming back with a large amount of 'internal links'. These 2 pages for example are showing 800 internal links:

      http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events
      http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact

      At best there are approximately 70 links on the page. Where is the 800 number coming from?

        Hello George, I'd love to help! That 799 number you are seeing is the Total Linking Pages number, meaning external pages from other websites linking to you, as well. After peeking at your site, you do in fact only have 70 Internal links in your site. I hope this helps!

          Thank you for the reply Abe. Perhaps I am not following.

          The crawl report has distinct columns for Internal Links and External Links per page.
          According to the description of the report (What's included in my Crawl Test report?):

          Internal Links    Number of links on a page that point to the same domain as that page.
          Linking Root Domains    Number of root domains that link to this page.
          External Links    Number of links on a page that point to a page that is not on the same domain as that page.

          Referring again to actual pages from the report:

          Page / Internal Links / Linking Root Domains / External Links

          http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events / 800 / 1 / 0
          http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact / 800 / 1 / 0
          http://www.phase1tech.com/FLIR-Cameras / 724 / 1 / 0

          Is the report incorrect then?
