Too Many Links???
-
SEOMOZ is telling me I have more than 100 links on quite a few of my pages, and I cant seem to find out what links they are finding. Like for instance on this page http://standupguys.biz/what-we-haul/commercial-junk-removal-services/computer-removal-recycling/ It is telling me that I have 117 hyper links (which is WAY too high).
Can anyone explain to me where these are coming from, and how I can avoid this?? Please and thank you.

It looks like it's something to do with your Collapsing Pages Plugin. I see links like Old Freezer Removal in the code which are not visible on the page. I would try disabling that link and see what happens.

Do know where it is finding 105 links though? When you actually manually count the links that are visible its more like 50.

If you go look at the HTML source for this page (view-source:http://standupguys.biz/what-we-haul/commercial-junk-removal-services/computer-removal-recycling/) in Chrome and then do a Ctrl+F for "<a 105="" href"="" you'll="" notice="" it="" shows="" a="" count="" of="" links="" and="" highlights="" them.="" if="" they="" are="" part="" your="" navigation="" structure,="" i="" would="" not="" worry="" about="" it. <="" p=""></a>
<a 105="" href"="" you'll="" notice="" it="" shows="" a="" count="" of="" links="" and="" highlights="" them.="" if="" they="" are="" part="" your="" navigation="" structure,="" i="" would="" not="" worry="" about="" it. <="" p="">However, primarily for Usability, I would consider looking into and see if there are any links that are not being used, not adding value etc.</a>

Manual Links Vs. Smart Links
Hey Everybody, Is there any downside to the smart link plugins that I see all over wordpress? Basically in short I enter a keyword and where I want that link to go (primarily internal) and set the parameters of repetition etc and it automatically adds the link to that. Now other than the obvious situation where it might put a link in an awkward place, is there anything wrong with this sort of software? Part of me things that this sort of software would not be liked by Google, and that it isn't really getting counted as a true link, but i wanted to see if there were other thoughts or experience with this.

Suspicious Link Directory
I found a link directory with good PageRank and MozRank. The page I would be featured on has good page authority of about 41. Their editorial guidelines appear sound. However, I just discovered that they have a family of directories (about 7-8) that all look very similar in site appearance. I suspect that they are all hosted on the same servers and run by the same company. Would this family of directories be at risk of being flagged by Google as a link network and have all their links devalued? Thanks Mozzers!
