Too many on page links
-
Hello
I have about 800 warnings with this.
Example of one url with this problem is:
http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?dir=asc&order=price
I was checking and I think all links are important. But I suppose that if I put a nofollow on the links on the left which are only for navigation purposes I can get rid of these warnings.
Any other idea?

2569 links is far too many, and is likely a very big problem both for your users and SEO. You have more links then the New York Times.
Ask yourself this question....if you had to reduce your total number of links to less then 100, what would you do?
You can likely use category pages for your products and only link to the category pages from the navigation.

I have same problem. Crawl diagnostic (seomoz) show me Too Many On-Page Links: 2569. But webpage kabelky.eu is e-shop, so we have many products - each one is link.
Is this big problem. Does Google know, that we are e-shop with many products? What can we do?
Also we have problem with duplicate page title, because on this links with parameters:
http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/
http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/?d=a
http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/?d=a&of=12 ... etc..
have same title
We added canonicals to all these page, but I'm not sure it's fine solution.
Thanks for help in advance..

Ryan's right - nofollow wouldn't change the warning, and it's not effective for link-sculpting anymore. I wouldn't use it on main navigation links. 100 links is just a rule of thumb - it's a balancing act:

I see you have canonicals in place Gotta love Magento

Not true. Adding the "nofollow" tag to a link does not reduce the link count. It will have no effect on the warning. You need to remove the link and reduce the link count to below 100 in order to remove the warning.
In your case, I would disregard the warning. The warning will go off anytime more then 100 links are discovered on a page. Your site shows 103 links. I have recommended to SEOmoz they adjust the tool to allow users to adjust the link count warning to a user-selectable number. Hopefully that feature will be implemented.
A small note. The copyright date for your site shows as 2008. I would recommend adjusting it to 2012.

Are you having issues getting important pages indexed? If not then you don't really need to worry about this. This is just a good practice warning, but not necessarily an actual error.
If you are then you should create an XML sitemap and reference it in your robots.txt to help get more of them indexed. Also, submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools.
I'd say a more important issue you should deal with first is making your URLs and Page Titles more search engine friendly.
For example this Page Title & URL:
Page Title: Clearance http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?brand=Dell&dir=asc&order=price
Would be much better as something like the following:
Page Title: Dell Laser Printers on Clearance
http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance/dell/laser-printers/price-low-high/

Linking to a Resource from a multi-language Page
I have a multi-language page where the content is available in several versions (translated). I want to link to a resource that is only available in one English. Is it a good idea to link to this resource from all language versions or should I better include the link only in the English version of my page? In the first scenario for example a Spanisch and a German language version would link to a page in English. Is this ok or could it be considered spam?

If I want clean up my URLs and take the "www.site.com/page.html" and make it "www.site.com/page" do I need a redirect?
If I want clean up my URLs and take the "www.site.com/page.html" and make it "www.site.com/page" do I need a redirect? If this scenario requires a 301 redirect no matter what, I might as well update the URL to be a little more keyword rich for the page while I'm at it. However, since these pages are ranking well I'd rather not lose any authority in the process and keep the URL just stripped of the ".html" (if that's possible). Thanks for you help!

Link in my blog to external pages - no follow?
Hi everyone. I'm quite new to SEO (started 6 months ago, but I'm very lucky to work the company that is willing to pay while I'm learning). I also create some content for the website - I write wood flooring industry blog. Following some advise from few SEO experts around the world whom I follow I have decided to write 1-2 off topic blogs/month but I have found the way of writing off topic but in reality bringing together wood flooring industry and let's say fashion industry. My question is - if I want to link to one or two pages (let's say bug fashion brands) shall I use no-follow link? I do not want to harm my website or theirs. Can those type of posts be the part of building my position within my industry and in general, building authority of my website? Of course appart from getting links TO my website. Tom

So many internal links to the same page
Hey guyz,
Technical SEO | | atakala
I'm working with a client that has a page which has many internal links to the same page .
Let me illustrate it.
So as you can see I have a page which is called in the image "page" :D.
As you can see, the **page **has many links to the solutions.htmls' anchor links which mean they are basically the same page ( solutions.html)
Is it going to be a problem for us to do that ?
And is there anyway to handle this problem?
Thank you for you patience. And sorry for my bad english 😄 4deRc1W.png0 -
Page that appears on SERPs is not the page that has been optimized for users
This may seem like a pretty newbie question, but I haven't been able to find any answers to it (I may not be looking correctly). My site used to rank decently for the KW "Gold name necklace" with this page in the search results:http://www.mynamenecklace.co.uk/Products.aspx?p=302This was the page that I was working on optimizing for user experience (load time, image quality, ease of use, etc.) since this page was were users were getting to via search. A couple months ago the Google SERP's started showing this page for the same query (also ranked a little lower, but not important for this specific question):http://www.mynamenecklace.co.uk/Products.aspx?p=314Which is a white gold version of the necklaces. This is not what most users have in mind (when searching for gold name necklace) so it's much less effective and engaging.How do I tell Google to go back to old page/ give preference to older page / tell them that we have a better version of the page / etc. without having to noindex any of the content? Both of these pages have value and are for different queries, so I can't canonical them to a single page. As far as external links go, more links are pointing to the Yellow gold version and not the white gold one.Any ideas on how to remedy this?Thanks.
