Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Xenu Liunk Seuth - its free and will go through internal links, external or both, it will also show you where the 404 page is being linked from.

Also can report 302s.

Hi,

The best way to keep it natural is just to use the anchor text which would make most sense to a user, also i don't think using your brand as the anchor would ever look unnatural since it is the natural thing to use when linking to someone so that would be safe.

Hi,

I have a site which has a Pr5 index page, however level 2 pages only have a PR rank of 3 is this a sign of poor internal linking structure or maybe this is the result of too many on page links?

I would appreciate any ideas that you might have!

Hi,

The best way to stop this issue would be to have the tag pages no-indexed since all they do is duplicate what is in the categories section.

Hey Greg,

There are black hat ways to fake page rank, so never trust a site based on page rank.

Because /index and /index.htm are two different pages if you look /index is being redirected not /inedx.htm

`Use the below line in your Htaccess file:

Redirect /index.htm` http://www.davidclick.com/

You only need to use a 301.

Ps. Your links are going to 404 pages

You need to 301 /index.htm to www.davidclick.com to stop those errors coming up.

Hi Thomas,

If you are looking to create a natural link profile why not host the videos yourself and then get people to link back to your site, then any link created would be 100% natural.

You could always just use rel="canonical" which would be much better than completely blocking all URL parameters.

There is an enterprise version of SEOmoz which will do 1 million pages a month and up to 30k keywords which is well worth looking into if you have a enormous web property.

Hi Gary,

I am currently working on a link profile which is very heavy in exact match anchors, by going deeper into this problem  i noticed that there was such are large amount present because of  footer, blogroll or site-wide links with the exact match anchor.

I suggest you use Open Site Explorer advanced report tool and filter on the exact match text which you would like to focus on, once you have the CSV export you can go through the list of domains linking in on that anchor, then you could use SpyOnWeb to check how many sites share the shame IP address, should you find that site shares the same ip address as a lot of other sites it's most likely part of a link farm and it would be best to request the link be completely removed. (You could also examine it's link profile and content to check its quality).

All good domains you find linking in you could request them to change the anchor slightly to something branded or even just the URL, although i would probably just leave the quality links alone and create good content to make people link in which would be 100% natural and would balance your link profile.

Hi Nick,

SEOmoz tools would be a brilliant start, but you could also use bing webmaster tools which is nice and easy to use.

Hi,

Every time i try to create an advanced report with Opensite it will get to around 4-6k links and then start to finalize the report, however it says i have 750k links aiming at my root domain.

I have not used any of the page/domain authority filters, any ideas on why this could be cutting me off?

Kyle

I would defiantly not tell Google to ignore parameters since you have pages ranking high with URL parameters in them.

Be careful if you do implement a canonical, because you could end up removing a few good ranking pages since the URL parameter pages are the ones currently ranking best.

Personally i would just ignore these errors since Google has done a pretty good job choosing the best page already.

You could block Rogerbot from crawling parameter pages.

Hi,

I just had a quick look at your site and it seems fine, if you have found these through semoz.org under notices this is just to let you know they are there not that they are causing a problem.

Kyle

Hi,

The best way to fix this would be to implement the canonical tag, this would stop Google/Rogerbot thinking those pages are duplicated and focus on the URL you specified.

Check this post from Google explaining all about it.

Hi,

If you mean 301 http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html to http://www.yourdomain.com/ then that would be ok, otherwise your index page would already be the most user friendly URL.

Kyle

Yes that will work.
