My crawl report only shows 1 link

Hello, I've tried a crawl for the site www.doctify.co.uk and it's only returned 1 link in the report which is the homepage. Do you know what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Nina

Hi,
I don't want to insult you with to basic of an explanation so please tell me if this isn't what you mean and im over simplifying it.
Find a link on your website,
right click it and click on inspect element, this will bring up a developer panel at the bottom of your browser (its different for each browser, but there are all similar.) It will have the code that makes the link highlighted amongst the rest of the code that makes up the page.
For instance the "The Mission" link in your footer has this code
The mission<a ="" link="" tag<br="">href=""> = the URL parameter where the link should follow</a> = closing the tag where the link stops
Best SEO practice is
The missionYou should then take this 1 step further for best SEO and include a title parameter for the link which would look like this
The missionEdit: Can't spell

Hi again! I was wondering if you could tell me how you checked the link format on our site?
Many thanks,
Nina

Thank you ATP! But I think your response was very good! I think for now the important thing is that the pages are in fact indexed by google which is important but there seems to be an issue with the #! as you have also mentioned. Reading up on the link shared by Dirk about AJAX crawlability the #! in the URL's seem to also be the issue. The solution on there is Javascript function that's part of 'HTML5 History API' called window.history.pushState(). I think I will recommend this to the developers...

I think dirk covered it and i was way off Ignore this response

Thank you very much for the quick response Dirk.
Best,

All the links are in javascript - and Mozbot doesn't crawl javascript (Google does however). Try visiting your site with javascript disabled - all you see is a blank page.
There is a similar question herethat may be can help you finding a solution - try also this post on AJAX & crawlability
Hope this helps
Dirk

Cannot crawl website with redirect intalled on subdomain url
Hi! I want to crawl this website : http://www.car-moderne.ch. I tried a got back the crawl just for that one url (not for all the pages of the website). This single line cvs says that the status of the http://www.car-moderne.ch is 200, but in fact it is a redirect 301 to http://www.car-moderne.ch/fr where the live home page is (actually the Moz bar sees the 301, not the 200 as the single-lined crawl does). How can I proceed in this case (a 301 redirect being installed on the subdomain url) to still be able to have a full-fledged juicy cvs with all the broken links, duplicate content, etc. Thank you for your help!

Moz crawl issues: All pages keep resolving to our "cookies not enabled" page
Upon running the Moz Pro site crawler, I noticed that I received quite a bit of duplicate titles along with 302 redirects (which is our site creating a temporary 302 to our "cookies not enabled" page). How would I get around the crawler being redirected to this page? I've never ran across this issue before, despite using the crawler with sites that use the same framework as the one thats affected. Any ideas?

Where to find one off crawl report
Hello, I don't know if I am being a bit daft but I don't seem to be able to find the area where I can request a one off crawl report anymore (rather than setting up a campaign). Can someone let me know where this is now? Thanks!

How can I add Maps Listings Results to reports
I am trying to modify Moz reports so that I can show the maps results but I cant figure out how. Is this a feature that is not offered or am I blind? Even when exporting full rankings to PDF they don't show up. The issue is that a lot of the SEO work we do has a positive effect on the maps rankings for a particular client. Meanwhile the organic rankings are somewhat stagnant for this client and unless I create it manually there isn't anything I can export from Moz that shows maps results inclusion. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. IGlgIYA.jpg

Open site explorer linking root domains
My company has been trying to increase the number of linking root domains for a specific page on our website using our PR company and press releases that are sent out and linked back to this page. This is working nicely, but the number of linking root domains is still not increasing under the "linking root domains" tab. I am noticing the correct links to this domain under "fresh web mentions" though. I know this tool can take a bit to update, but it has been quite some time and I still only see the one link.

Since the revised website was launched, I can't find the "Crawl Test" function showing Titles and Descriptions of other websites. Anyone know where that link is located?
MOZ can "crawl" any website and show information like Title, Description, etc.....Can't find that link.
