Performed a Moz Crawl Test - Says I have 107 External Links on Homepage??
-
Hello Mozzers!
Exactly at the title suggests, I performed a crawl test on one our sites and the report says we have 107 external links on the homepage and another 34 on one of our internal category pages.
On both of these pages I can only find 7 external links, anyone know why the crawl test is saying this?
And if Moz is finding these external links could google be doing the same and punishing our site for the high number of external links?
Any response appreciated!

Ha thanks for that.
I read all over about these external links and everything seemed to point the same way that they were links pointing out over.
A reword in the description of the crawl test categories I think is needed!
Thanks again - Problem solved!

Richard,
I ran a test and only found 6 or 7 external links like yourself. I think you may be getting slightly confused.
Are you talking about colum AO (External Links) in a moz crawler report download? If so this doesn't refer to external links pointing off your page. It refers to external links pointing into that page.
I think theres an older post somewhere on here about it.

Yup found it! Staff confirm my beliefs.
Hope that helps!

Why do I have so many site crawl issues with my site?
Hi there, Our website is www.mormonhub.com. We have many other websites that we own as well. For some reason, our website has tens of thousands of Site Crawl Issues.

804 : HTTPS (SSL) Error in Crawl Test
So I am getting this 804 Error but I have checked our Security Certificate and it looks to be just fine. In fact we have another 156 days before renewal on it. We did have some issues with this a couple months ago but it has been fixed. Now, there is a 301 from http to https and I did not start the crawl on https so I am curious if that is the issue? Just wanted to know if anybody else has seen this and if you were able to remedy it? Thanks,

How do I get Moz to crawl my site?
If I'm not mistaken, Moz will crawl my site once a week and let me know of any errors, notices etc.. But can I ask them to crawl once I have updated all the errors? or do I have to wait for them to do this automatically?
