Why are not nofollowed links counted in On-Page Analysis Report?
-
When I run the On-Page Analysis on our homepage, the report says the page has 238 **"Internal followed links". **
Why are not nofollowed internal links counted as well? Nofollowed links have been leaking link juice for quite some time now.

Thank you, Chiaryn. What I think is relevant when it comes to links on a page is 1. Total links? If the number is high, I would look into if all those links really are necessary. Can we cut down on links that does not point to landing pages in order to give landing pages as much link juice as possible and at the same time increase the chances that those pages get crawled? We have these kind of problems on our e-commerce homepage at the moment - important product pages do not get crawled and/or get too little link juice due to way too many links. 2. Total followed links? Are there links that should be nofollowed in order to establish optimal crawl path? 3. Total external links Too few or are we unnecessarily throwing away link juice off the site? 4. Total followed external links A healthy number or does it look spammy? Best regards Martin •

Hi Martin,
Thanks for writing in. Because the number of internal links on the page is something that is considered to be a low importance factor and nofollowed links provide less link juice than followed links, we currently don't provide this information on the On-Page analysis. If you would like to see the number of internal nofollowed links on a page, I would recommend using Open Site Explorer to pull that data.
We are always looking for ways to improve out products, so I will forward your request to include the information on nofollowed links on the On-Page reports to our product team. Hopefully, we'll see that information added sometime in the future.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Old links that need to be removed
We are having a problem trying to get rid of old links that have been removed from a website that no longer exists. See links below-There are several more that we need to deal with. We have tried putting them into Google Search Console, but they keep reappearing with Moz. Since our new website is hosted on Hubspot now and not on WordPress, which these links are referring to, we are trying to determine how to remove them from being indexed since they don't exist anymore? http://intouch-marketing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/mas.png

Broken links in the pdf of the On Page Report
Hi, I run an individual On Page report for a particular URL, then I export as pdf. The URL appears in the pdf and looks fine but when you click on it it goes to a 'page not found'. I know the URL is correct. When I hover over the URL in the pdf i notice that the word 'Good' is at the end of my URL but I did not put this in there. if I give the report to a client it doesn't look so good. http://www.narellanpools.com.au/local-contact/narellan-pools-alburywodongaGood Is this a bug?

Too many links on a page - pull-down menus
SEOMoz is showing too many links on the page (www.ankinlaw.com). There clearly aren't 100 visible links on the page. Is it counting each page found on the (extensive) pull-down menu as a link? If not, where do all the links come from?
