Fixing the Too Many On-Page Links
-
In our campaign I see that it reported that some of our pages have too many on-page links. But I think most of the links that was seen by MozBot is related to our images. There are a lot of images in our site and at the same time we support 11 languages which adds additional links
One of the pages that have a lot of links is www.florahospitality.com/dining.aspx
What can you <a></a>suggest to fix this?
Thanks. <a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a>

btw Alan, may I know what browser are you using to see the website? because we are not encountering that freezing and scroll problem.
-
Yes but they actualy have different pages,
http://www.florahospitality.com/nl/dining.aspxhttp://www.florahospitality.com/fr/dining.aspxhttp://www.florahospitality.com/it/dining.aspxhttp://www.florahospitality.com/ko/dining.aspxhttp://www.florahospitality.com/jp/dining.aspxCMSmakes things esiser to get started, but always lead to workarounds. if you want perfection you need to create a bespoke website i am afraid.

Actually it works the same way as we are using a cms (umbraco). Umbraco handles the translation but in their setup it is a different document hence needing for a link to direct to other language.

Thats a lot better, its actualy quite nice layout. But when view all is selected, it keeps freezing and is hard to scroll.
I see you have many languages and this is the problem. I see the site is made from asp.net, why did you not use the globalizatuion feature of ASP.net, it would show a language depending on the users settings on the computer, rather then have several versions, this would make life easier in development and solve your problem of havaing a link to every version.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa478974.aspxThe idea is to have all your text stored in resource files, one for each lingo, depending on windows settings you pull you content from a different rsource file.

Hi Alan,
It is working now. We just deployed some updates this morning that's why there was a little downtime.

Hi Ryan,

I must agree with Ryan here, the site looks like its missing a css file or somthing, they layout is non-existent. I think you havve more pressing concerns that link count
-
The link you are sharing does not appear very well at all. I have looked at the site from two different computers using a FF and Chrome browser. The page is not user friendly at all and I suggest you take a closer look at the web design itself.
With that said, generally speaking you want to offer links to your most important pages, and to pages your users will likely want to see. Presenting over 100 links on a page is often not very friendly as there are too many options. It really depends on HOW you present the links. Some sites can offer 200 links on a page and present them in such a manner as to be helpful, but that is not usually the case.
In your case, please take a look at how the site appears in FF and Chrome, fix it, then better feedback can be offered.

Functionality of SEOmoz crawl page reports
I am trying to find a way to ask SEOmoz staff to answer this question because I think it is a functionality question so I checked SEOmoz pro resources. I also have had no responses in the Forum too it either. So here it is again. Thanks much for your consideration! Is it possible to configure the SEOMoz Rogerbot error-finding bot (that make the crawl diagnostic reports) to obey the instructions in the individual page headers and http://client.com/robots.txt file? For example, there is a page at http://truthbook.com/quotes/index.cfm month=5&day=14&year=2007 that has – in the header -
Moz Pro | | jimmyzig
<meta name="robots" content="noindex"> </meta name="robots" content="noindex"> This page is themed Quote of the Day page and is duplicated twice intentionally at http://truthbook.com/quotes/index.cfm?month=5&day=14&year=2004 and also at http://truthbook.com/quotes/index.cfm?month=5&day=14&year=2010 but they all have <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> in them. So Google should not see them as duplicates right. Google does not in Webmaster Tools.</meta name="robots" content="noindex"> So it should not be counted 3 times? But it seems to be? How do we gen a report of the actual pages shown in the report as dups so we can check? We do not believe Google sees it as a duplicate page but Roger appears too. Similarly, one can use http://truthbook.com/contemplative_prayer/ , here also the http://truthbook.com/robots.txt tells Google to stay clear. Yet we are showing thousands of dup. page content errors when Google Webmaster tools as shown only a few hundred configured as described. Anyone? Jim0 -
Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -
Too Many On-Page Links
The SeoMoz site crawler says all my pages have too many links. I am using Dreamweaver with a horizontal Spry drop-down menu bar. My site has several hundred pages and about 100 of them show up in this Spry menu bar. I believe that this would be considered a false positive for too many links - am I right? Or is Google seeing this also as too many links per page? I am trying to get my Google rankings back after being hurt badly by the Penguin. I am using php but don't see another way to do the site links without going to a CMS type site. Thanks for any help you can give.

One page per campaign?
Not quite sure if I read correctly, but is it correct that one campaign tracks only one page of my site? So if I wanted to track something like a services page, this would require a second campaign?

On-page Optimization Grade Change
I can see the grade change for my on-page optimization in the weekly email, however, when I load the summary page on only rank change shows, grade change is blank across the board. I also tried downloading and see the same results. Is this a bug on the website? Thanks!

Quantity of Internal Followed Links
We compared our and competitor pages. And we have got next statistics: Internal Followed Links: 184 4,496 We are thinking about changing our shopping cart links format from /product_info.php?products_id=3547 to /product_name.html This should increase "number of our pages" and "number of links" from them.
Moz Pro | | ctam
But in case a description of products from the same category often is very similar. We worry about duplicating page content. Could you give any advice in that situation? Do Internal Links play a big role in page rank? Thanks. PS: at attached image you can find full page metrics from open site explorer. Our metrics are at left, competitors - right. BtTap.jpg0 -
Non-Recognition of Links
Hi All, I asked about a client last month and have had to do some other digging to try to find out what's going on with its Google rankings. According to our link-building spreadsheet, we have got up to 50 links (from 50 domains) in process of being actioned and a large proportion of these are actually in existence. There are two questions:- 1. Open Site Explorer only recognises 3 domains - as I know that other domains exist and are pointing (mostly 'followed'), what can be the reason OSE doesn't recognise this? 2. What can be done to encourage these external links to be more easily accessible by OSE and, presumably other bots? Other Points:- 1. I initially thought it might be crawl blocking issue causing the rankings, but Bing/Yahoo rankings are slowly dragging themselves upwards. 2. Robots.txt is not blocking any of the site 3. Pro on-site analysis for the target keyword is 'A' 4. The website's stats per OSE are better than some competitors in the top 20 except on the root domain issue, which is why the above point is important. Link building for other clients has worked really well without hiccups and with general gradual recognition, so any tips from more experienced folks out there would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks, Martin

Is the "Too Many Links" metric a blunt instrument?
The SEO Moz crawl diagnostics suggest that we have too many on-page links on several pages including on our homepage. How does your system determine when a page has too many links. It looks like when a page as more than 100 links it’s too many. Should the system take into account the page authority, domain authority, depth of page or other metrics? In addition, no-follow links are being included. As these are dropped from Google’s link graph, does it matter if we have too many? For example, we could have 200 links, 120 of which are no follow. Your tools would tell us we have too many links. Feedback appreciated. Donal
