Internal & External links

    Hello

    When I use the SEO Analyzer it shows me that I have 17 internal links and 11 external links. The problem is that I haven’t used any external links yet. How exactly is this counted?

    is there a difference between URL & path?

    example:

    http://www.testseite.de/test <- is this external link?
    /test/ <- and this internal?

    or how can I imagine that?

    best regards
    Adrian

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Rank Math’s SEO Analyzer tool automatically checks your homepage. So, you can check if you have linked some words/paragraph to other websites on your homepage content.

    Internal links are any links from/in your website.

    On the other hand, External links are any domains/websites that are not from your website (Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc.)

    This guide also help you distinguish the links we analyze on your content:

    Hope that clears up the confusion.

    Thank you.

    Hi

    Thank you very much, I was already aware of that, but I was wondering why rankmath counted more external links on my homepage than were used, but after a reset of the external links, it works now 🙂

    Thanks
