Trying to find all internal links to a specific page (without index)
-
Hi guys --
Still waiting on Moz to index a page of mine. We launched a new site over two months ago.
In the meantime, I really just need a list of internal links to a specific page because I want to change its URL. Does anybody know how to find that list (of internal links to 1 of my pages) without the Moz index?
I appreciate the help!

@marchexmarketingmcc intelligible results from Google tools is never to be expected.

Hi! You can use Screaming Frog and Google Search Console, as it is mentioned in this article: https://rush-analytics.com/blog/find-all-pages-on-website
Also, they've mentioned their own tool, but I haven't tried it yet. -
You can make complete Crawl of your webpage with Screaming Frog. If the number of pages is not large. You can check the internal Links and export it. With Pivot tables you can identify all pages which link to a specific page.
-
If you have a new page that replaces an out of date one. Maybe you'd be better off putting a 301 redirect in place.?

Screaming Frog

My answer is outdated, now it works like this:
- Go to Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools) and chose the site you want.
- On the left-hand menu, select LINKS, there you can also see your sites Internal links.

@sceorily Yes my answer is more than 4 years old...
now the link in the Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools) is called LINKS. There you can also see your sites Internal links.
The asteriks were wrong formatting from my side I guess.

If you are wanting to find all internal links on a specific page on your website. You can follow these steps in Ahref webmaster tool:
- Enter your website URL in Site Explorer
- Then, Click on Internal Backlinks - Where you can see all internal backlinks of specific page of your website.
I hope this helps!

@cesare-marchetti Hi there. As Moz has reminded me just now, it's almost 2022. I'm afraid your instruction appears to be out of date. Google has moved the Search box, and I find no "Traffic" link. By the way, are the ** (asterisks) supposed to be included in the search string? I tried with and without, no intelligible results.
Then again, intelligible results from Google tools is never to be expected.
I'll keep trying. But this is like throwing darts blindfolded, and not even knowing which direction the dartboard is.

Download XENU - http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html - run a crawl of your site and right click the properties of any page to see all internal links linking to that page.

Simple enough. Thanks Cesare.

Hi, you can use Search Console (Webmaster Tools) for that and see a list of internal links for your website as follows:
- On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
- On the left-hand menu, click **Search **Traffic, and then click Internal Links.
Cheers,
Cesare

Best way to link to multiple location pages
I am a Magician and have multiple location pages for each county I cover. I currently have them linked off the menu under locations/ <county>and also in the footer</county> However I have heard that a link from the page is much stronger, so I am experimenting with removing the Menu & Footer link and just linking to these pages from within the content. It's not really a navigation item and most people come in through search to the right page. Am I diluting the link by having it in the Menu/Page and Footer? I read a long time ago that Google only considers the first link to a page and ignores the rest - is that the case? Thanks Roger https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/

Internal no follow links
I have just discovered that the WordPress theme I have been using for some time has no follow internal links on the blog. Simply put each post has an image and text link plus a 'read more'. The Read more is a no-follow which is also on my homepage. The developer is saying duplicate follow links are worse than an internal no follow. What is your opinion on this? Should I spend time removing the no follow?

How can I avoid too many internal links in my site navigation?
Hi! I always get this notification on my pages 'Avoid Too Many Internal Links' when I run the Page Optimization Score. And this is the message I get how to fix it: Scale down the number of internal links on your page to fewer than 100, if possible. At a minimum, try to keep navigation and menu links to fewer than 100. On my website I got a desktop navigation menu and a mobile variant, so in the source this will show more internal links. If I hide those links with CSS for the view, is the problem then solved? So Does Google then see less internal links? Or does Google crawl everything? I'm curious how I can fix this double internal links issue with my navigation menu.

Wrong page version in the index
Hi, my site is currently accessible through URL with and without www. The Version with www has 10 times more Backlinks (PA 45 vs 38) but is not listet into the google Index. As far as I know there was never made a google Webmaster account or declared otherwise the version without www to be 'cannonical'. Basically I think that for SEO reasons it would be much better to declare the with www version to be cannonical and redirect the without www version to it. My questions are: Do you have an idea why the with www version is not indexed?

How long does Google usually take to change the version in the index?
Do I risk my site to be thrown out of the index for some days untill the change is made? Thanks in advance.0 -
Discrepency between # of pages and # of pages indexed
Here is some background: The site in question has approximately 10,000 pages and Google Webmaster shows that 10,000 urls(pages were submitted) 2) Only 5,500 pages appear in the Google index 3) Webmaster shows that approximately 200 pages could not be crawled for various reasons 4) SEOMOZ shows about 1,000 pages that have long URL's or Page Titles (which we are correcting) 5) No other errors are being reported in either Webmaster or SEO MOZ 6) This is a new site launched six weeks ago. Within two weeks of launching, Google had indexed all 10,000 pages and showed 9,800 in the index but over the last few weeks, the number of pages in the index kept dropping until it reached 5,500 where it has been stable for two weeks. Any ideas of what the issue might be? Also, is there a way to download all of the pages that are being included in that index as this might help troubleshoot?

I have pages that are showing up as having too many links, yet they are noindexed.
I've got several pages that have "too many on page links" and the pages mentioned have already been noindexed. Do these pages need to be no followed too? Here's one of the pages: http://digisavvy.com/site-map/. There's several pages like this, most of which are category or tag archives, which I've noindexed... Do I need to nofollow these, too?
