          Hi! This might sound like a newbie question, but I'm trying to find all crawlable links (that google bot sees), on a particular page of my website. I'm trying to use screaming frog, but that gives me all the links on that particular page, AND all subsequent pages in the given sub-directory. What I want is ONLY the crawlable links pointing away from a particular page. What is the best way to go about this? Thanks in advance.

              I understand yes are referred that is a parameter or how far from home here's some information on a tool I'm using right now

              http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/google-sitemap-generator/

              here is an HTML file of the results however you can see the how far from home on the left hand side I suggest you run the tool yourself so you can see the full results

              http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/google-sitemap-generator/tmp/cd6f6c650d15ca84c6df3f9f7da95619.html

              Using the IMN Google Site Map Generator

              Links are critically important to webpages, not only for connecting to other, related pages to help end users find the information they want, but in optimizing the pages for SEO. The Find Broken Links, Redirects & Google Sitemap Generator Free Tool allows webmasters and search engine optimizers to check the status of both external links and internal links on an entire website. The resulting report generated by the Google sitemap generator tool will give webmasters and SEOs insight to the link structure of a website, and identify link redirects and errors, all of which help in planning a link optimization strategy. We always offer the downloadable results and the sitemap generator free for everyone.

              Get started

              To start with the free sitemap generator, type (or paste) the full home page URL of the website you want scanned. Select the number of pages you want to scan (up to 500, up to 1,000, or up to 10,000). Note that the job starts immediately and runs in real time. For larger sites containing numerous pages, the process can take up to 30 minutes to crawl and gather data on 1,000 pages (and longer still for very large sites). You can set the Google sitemap generator tool to send you an email once the crawl is completed and the data report is prepared. The online sitemap generator offers several options and also acts as an XML sitemap generator or an HTML sitemap generator.

              Note that the results table data of the online sitemap generator is interactive. Most of the data items are linked, either to the URLs referenced or to details about the data. For most cells that contain non-URL data, pause the mouse over the cell to see the full results.


              Results Bar

              When the tool starts, a results bar appears at the top of the page showing the following information:

              • Status of the tool (Crawling or Done)
              • Number of Internal URLs crawled
              • Number of External links found
              • Number of Internal HTTP Redirects found
              • Number of External HTTP Redirects found
              • Number of Internal HTTP error codes found
              • Number of External HTTP error codes found

              For those who need sitemaps provided by either an HTML sitemap generator or an XML sitemap generator,
              there are corresponding options offered here. Also shown are the following:

              • Download XML Sitemap button
              • Download tool results in Excel format
              • Download tool results in HTML format

              Lastly, if you love the free sitemap generator tool, you can tell the world by clicking any of the following social media buttons:

              • Facebook Like
              • Google+
              • Twitter
              • Reddit

              Email notification

              Next, you can submit your email address to have a copy of the report emailed to you if you choose not to wait for it to finish crawling. We offer this feature as well as the sitemap generator free to all users.


              Tool results data

              When results are ready, the HTML sitemap generator will organize the data into six tables:

              1. Internal links
              2. External links
              3. Internal errors (a subset of Internal Links)
              4. Internal redirects (another subset of Internal Links)
              5. External errors (a subset of External Links)
              6. External redirects (another subset of External Links)

              The table data is typically linked to either page URLs or to details about the data. Click on column headers to sort the results.


              1Internal Links table

              The Internal links table created by the XML sitemap generator includes the following data fields:

              • URLs crawled on the site
              • Link to The On Page Optimization Analysis Free SEO Tool for that URL
              • URL’s level from the domain root
              • URL’s returned HTTP status code
              • Number of internal links the URL has within the site (click to see the list of URLs)
              • Link text used for the URL
              • Number of internal links on the page (click to see the list of URLs)
              • Number of external links on the page (click to see the list of URLs)
              • Size of the page on kilobytes (click to see page load speed test results for this URL from Google)
              • Link to the Check Image Sizes, Alt Text, Header Checks and More Free SEO Tool for that URL
              • The tag text from the URL’s page
              • The description tag text from the URL’s page
              • The keywords tag text from the URL’s page
              • Contents, if used, of the anchor tag’s “rel=” attribute

              2External Links table

              The External links table includes the following data fields:

              • URL’s returned HTTP status code
              • Number of times that URL is linked to from within the site (click to see the list of affected URLs)
              • External URL used in the link
              • Link text used for the URL
              • Internal page URL on which the link was first found

              3Internal HTTP code errors table

              The Internal errors table gathers all of the pages returning HTTP code errors (4xx and 5xx level codes) in one place to help organize the effort to resolve the problems. It includes the following data fields:

              • URL’s returned HTTP status code
              • Number of times that URL is linked to from within the site (click to see the list of affected URLs)
              • Internal URL used in the link
              • Link text used for the URL
              • Internal page URL on which the link was first found

              The Internal errors table is a subset of the Internal links table showing just those pages returning HTTP status code errors.


              4Internal HTTP redirects table

              The Internal redirects table combines all of the pages returning HTTP redirects in one list so you can easily review them. You should not have to rely on redirects internally. Instead, you can fix the source code containing the redirected link. This table contains the following data fields:

              • URL’s returned HTTP status code (click it to go to the HTTP Response Code Checker tool)
              • Number of times that URL is linked to from within the site (click to see the list of affected URLs)
              • Internal URL used in the link
              • Link text used for the URL
              • Redirect’s target URL
              • Internal page URL on which the link was first found

              The Internal redirects table is a subset of the Internal links table showing just those pages returning 301 and 302 HTTP status code redirects.


              5External HTTP code errors table

              The External errors table gathers all of the pages returning HTTP code errors (4xx and 5xx level codes) in one place to help organize the effort to resolve the problems. It includes the following data fields:

              • URL’s returned HTTP status code (click it to go to the HTTP Response Code Checker tool)
              • Number of times that URL is linked to from within the site (click to see the list of affected URLs)
              • Internal URL used in the link
              • Link text used for the URL
              • Redirect’s target URL
              • Internal page URL on which the link was first found

              The External errors table is a subset of the External links table showing just those pages returning HTTP status code errors.


              6External HTTP redirects table

              The External redirects table combines all of the pages returning HTTP redirects in one list so you can easily review them. As the redirect to the targeted page does not affect your page, fix these URLs is a lower priority. This table contains the following data fields:

              • URL’s returned HTTP status code (click it to go to the HTTP Response Code Checker tool)
              • Number of times that URL is linked to from within the site (click to see the list of affected URLs)
              • External URL used in the link
              • Link text used for the URL
              • Redirect’s target URL
              • Internal page URL on which the link was first found

              The External redirects table is a subset of the External links table showing just those pages returning 301 and 302 HTTP status code redirects.

                Hi Thomas! When I say 1 click, I mean all links that can directly be reached from www.wishpicker.com. For example

                wishpicker.com/gifts-for can be reached directly from wishpicker.com

                wishpicker.com/gifts-for/boyfriend cannot be reached directly from wishpicker.com. I would first need to go to wishpicker.com/gifts-for, and then go to wishpicker.com/gifts-for/boyfriend. So wishpicker.com/gifts-for is 1 click away, and wishpicker.com/gifts-for/boyfriend is 2 clicks away from wishpicker.com.

                I am looking to crawl all links that are only 1 click away. Thanks for your help here. Really appreciate it.

                  when you say one click away are you talking about a parameter?

                  I will run this through screaming frog and a couple other tools and see if I can get your answer.

                    Hi Thomas

                    Thanks for your response. Here is my website: www.wishpicker.com

                    What I am looking for is all the links present only 1 click away from the page www.wishpicker.com (both internal and external).

                    Performing a crawl with screaming frog is giving me all links (1, 2, 3, 4, and more clicks away). Not sure how to limit the crawl to show links that are only 1 click away, and exclude links that are 2 or more clicks away from this page.

                    Look forward to your response.

                    Thanks!

                      Hi,

                      Screaming frog does in fact show you the links that would be considered external links. Here is a great guide.

                      http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/screaming-frog-guide

                      If you look at the external part of Screaming frog you'll find what you're looking for however you may also do this with

                      Moz.com

                      using either the campaign tool or the browser plug-in.

                      I would suggest reading the seer interactive guide and sticking with screaming frog it is an outstanding tool.

                      Here are some other tools which I hope will help you if that is not the route you wish to go.

                      If you could post a photograph of what you are looking for or what you mean by it only showing you the internal link count I know what you mean by that I just want to see what screen you're looking on to get the The answer you're looking for.

                      Here are some more tools that will allow you to scan up to 1000 pages of your website for free and will tell you the information you're looking for.

                      http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/tools

                      if you cannot find what you're looking for in their you might want to try

                      http://raventools.com/

                      https://colibritool.com/

                      http://www.quicksprout.com/2013/02/04/how-to-perform-a-seo-audit-free-5000-template-included/

                      distilled.net/U might be the best way to find out these types of things however it is a complete search engine optimization training course.

                      Sincerely,

                      Thomas

                        Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?

                        Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO.  It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors'  Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag.  Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

                        Does a no-indexed parent page impact its child pages?

                        If I have a page* in WordPress that is set as private and is no-indexed with Yoast, will that negatively affect the visibility of other pages that are set as children of that first page? *The context is that I want to organize some of the pages on a business's WordPress site into silos/directories. For example, if the business was a home remodeling company, it'd be convenient to keep all the pages about bathrooms, kitchens, additions, basements, etc. bundled together under a "services" parent page (/services/kitchens/, /services/bathrooms/, etc.). The thing is that the child pages will all be directly accessible from the menus, so there doesn't need to be anything on the parent /services/ page itself. Another such parent page/directory/category might be used to keep different photo gallery pages together (/galleries/kitchen-photos/, /galleries/bathroom-photos/, etc.). So again, would it be safe for pages like /services/kitchens/ and /galleries/addition-photos/ if the /services/ and /galleries/ pages (but not /galleries/* or anything like that) are no-indexed? Thanks!

                        Updating inbound links vs. 301 redirecting the page they link to

                        Hi everyone, I'm preparing myself for a website redesign and finding conflicting information about inbound links and 301 redirects. If I have a URL (we'll say website.com/website) that is linked to by outside sources, should I get those outside sources to update their links when I change the URL to website.com/webpage? Or is it just as effective from a link juice perspective to simply 301 redirect the old page to the new page? Are there any other implications to this choice that I may want to consider? Thanks!

                        When creating parent and child pages should key words be repeated in url and page title?

                        We are in the direct mail advertising business:  PrintLabelAndMail.com Example: Parent:
                        Postcard Direct Mail Children:
                        Postcard Mailings
                        Postcard Design
                        Postcard Samples
                        Postcard Pricing
                        Postcard Advantages should "postcard" be repeated in the URL and Page Title? and in this example should each of the 5 children link back directly to the parent or would it be better to "daisy chain" them using each as parent for the next?

                        Correct linking to the /index of a site and subfolders: what's the best practice? link to: domain.com/ or domain.com/index.html ?

                        Dear all, starting with my .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On
                        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.inlinear.com$ [NC]
                        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://inlinear.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.html 
                        RewriteRule ^(.)index.html$ http://inlinear.com/ [R=301,L] 1. I redirect all URL-requests with www. to the non www-version...
                        2. all requests with "index.html" will be redirected to "domain.com/" My questions are: A) When linking from a page to my frontpage (home) the best practice is?: "http://domain.com/" the best and NOT: "http://domain.com/index.php" B) When linking to the index of a subfolder "http://domain.com/products/index.php" I should link also to: "http://domain.com/products/" and not put also the index.php..., right? C) When I define the canonical ULR, should I also define it just: "http://domain.com/products/" or in this case I should link to the definite file: "http://domain.com/products**/index.php**" Is A) B) the best practice? and C) ? Thanks for all replies! 🙂

                        What is the best way to find missing alt tags on my site (site wide - not page by page)?

                        I am looking to find all the missing alt tags on my site at once. I have a FF extension that use to do it page by page, but my site is huge and that will take forever. Thanks!!

                        Can you 301 redirect a page to an already existing/old page ?

                        If you delete a page (say a sub department/category page on an ecommerce store) should you 301 redirect its url to the nearest equivalent page still on the site or just delete and forget about it ? Generally should you try and 301 redirect any old pages your deleting if you can find suitable page with similar content to redirect to. Wont G consider it weird if you say a page has moved permenantly to such and such an address if that page/address existed before ? I presume its fine since say in the scenario of consolidating departments on your store you want to redirect the department page your going to delete to the existing pages/department you are consolidating old departments products into ?

                        Do web pages have to be linked to a menu?

                        I have a situation where people search for terms like, say 1978 one dollar bill. Even though there never was a 1978 one dollar bill.   I want to make a page to capture these searches but since there wasn't such a thing as a one dollar bill I don't want it connected to the rest of my content which is reality based.   Does that make sense? Anyway,  my question is,  can I publish pages that aren't linked to my menu structure but that will be searchable or, am I going to have to figure out a way to make these oddball pages accessible through my menu?
