Help With Moz Metrics

[TravG]

I have quite a few websites and build them all pretty much the same way. When looking at my Moz metrics though, a few of the sites show 0 internal links. I do not have anything in my robots file that would be blocking the crawlers and like I say I build the websites pretty much the same so I do not understand why only a few (maybe 25%) of my sites show 0 internal links.

Any ideas why this would be happening? And it is not like it has changed or anything, one of my websites has always shown 0 internal links. I do not think it is hurting my website really but it puzzles me why it shows 0. I think it may hurt my Moz stats, but I cant see how it hurts my website in rankings for the search engines, unless there is something more wrong and why I am asking the question I guess.

Thanks

That is odd.

Do the sites that do not show the internals also have lower traffic numbers overall? Are those sites also newer, or at least have newer designs? Anything that they have in common, such as lower total number of pages etc?

I have the same.. My advice don't even worry about what MOZ says, just concentrate on your real numbers that come from Google, way too many people worry about what these 3rd part SEO tools say "The PageRank filler" I personally have not seen any correlation to real traffic and 3rd part tools rankings.. e.g I see one site with DR58 but only gets 3,000 visitors and is nowhere to be seen in the top 10 for lucrative keywords.. site 2 has DR42 but gets around 30,000 organic visits for top converting keywords..

I have to agree with that Wonderpunter and although I was offering a few suggestions as to why it could be happening, in my opinion most 3rd party seo ranking places just like downloading websites under the guise of checking you and your competitors just so they can database the websites, for the purposes of providing visitors seo ranking of course....

But doesn't it bother you to see the seo sites rank on keywords at times....not based upon the any of their own content of course, but they will rank for different keywords at times based upon the pages created for "visitors seo ranking".

I don't mind if the seo sites rank on seo keywords, but why should they rank on cars, or loans, real estate or gambling or any other subject for which they are not about, but only carry content they stole/borrowed/copied/scraped/databased for seo ranking purposes of others?

why only a few (maybe 25%) of my sites show 0 internal links.

Are you blocking scraping and scamming bots via HTaccess as well?
I do - and that affects most 3rd party tool reports.

I was wondering the same recently and apparently
"Moz crawls a smaller subsection of the Internet than Google. You should expect to see fewer links in Moz than Google. We are working to increase our index size and quality though, so hopefully that gap will close over time"




Moz crawler is quite slow as well compared to ahrefs or Majestic so you can check there as well to make sure your links are showing properly

[TravG]

Ok thanks for the insights. It is actually one of my bigger better sites so it just puzzled me. Smaller sites have internal links posted but oh well, I guess ill just let as is.

Thanks

It takes a while for Moz to crawl the site. Not everything is showing either.

I bet you they limit their updated metrics to gambling sites. Gambling sites just are not a priority. Over time, the internal links should show. They show on other metrics, right?
