Low number of internal links
-
Hello everyone,
we are strugling with low number of internal links on most of our pages.
For exmaple page http://www.nejlevnejsi-knihy.cz/autor/jo-nesbo.html according to OpenSiteExplorer has only 1 internal link. I checked number of pages really linking to it and it is more than 50. All linking pages are listed in sitemap and exist more than 6 months.
Thanks for your help!

As Cyrus mentioned, OSE does not account for every single link in the world.
Your website at the moment is very small in comparison to other sites, and Roger simply cannot find your tiny links amongst the rest of the web!
Needle in a haystack.
HOWEVER.
Open Site Explorer isn't the only way of finding this information. Analytics & WMT are both relatively good for finding links, both internal & external. If you can physically see and count the links on the site, then you just need to wait for Google to index them - you can check this in WMT.

Great question! While Open Site Explorer maintains an index of 109 billion URLs across 162 million root domain, unfortunately it doesn't contain every link on every page.
Pages with low authority (PA) or pages without a lot of external links linking in, may not be included in the index. In general, these pages tend not to influence rankings very highly.
To get a full crawl of your site, you could start a campaign of the domain using Moz Analytics. This doesn't mean these URLs would be included in OSE, but you should get and accurate crawl.
To increase the number of pages included in OSE (which would increase your total internal link count) the best way is to increase the number of external links to the site, and flow that link equity throughout.
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

About Link Earning?
I own an e-commerce store and I am get started with my SEO strategy. I know content is extremely important when it comes to link building, however for an e-commerce store what can I do as far as content. So far my only idea is blog posts. It's a furniture store so videos are really hard to do. The blog posts relate to home decor and interior design. My question is if people are going to be linking to my blog, will this help my website rank for product terms? The blog is part of the website, websitename.com/blog.

Link Building
Guest blogging, guest blogging, guest blogging. Since I started my career as a "brand manager" I've heard the term "guest blogging" at least a million times. So I've put a fair amount of energy into it and for a long time it worked beautifully, still is in many ways. However, in the last month or two nearly every blog I have contacted about guest blogging has said that "due to an increase in guest blogging request we are now charging a fee of x" so on and so forth. Doesn't paying for links put you at great risk for being deindexed? And can't bloggers get in trouble for this as well? Do they not know, not care or think it doesn't apply to them? And if it's a sponsored post, say I send them $100 of free product and pay them $100 to do it, isn't that just hiring someone to talk about my brand? Why would google punish me for that? Anyway around it? Thank you so much! I look forward to your suggestions/advice/criticism.

Link in the footer
we have a sponsored link in the footer of a website, and since that footer is displayed on each page of that site, it shows that we have thousands of links coming from that site. my question is : does Google consider this as spamming? and does it help us , harm us, or has no effect?

Link values
I have an interesting question, it's more to see other peoples opinions than looking for an exact answer, as I know noone can give that. If you had a good link on harvard.edu.. how many very low quality links on low DA domains that are full of junk, would you need to match the harvard link... if all other factors were equal. I'm gonna go for 500.. I've had great results with a few high DA/trust links. I'm not looking for anyone to give me a definative answer, just curious as to the views of other SEOs 😄
