SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links, however most of them are comments...
-
Is this affecting the overall ranking of the page?

If so how can I disallow them? We use Wordpress with the Joost SEO plugin, but I don't see a disallow option there for comments...

Dr. Pete wrote a post about this warning a while back at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many that should also help you.

Yes, all links on a page will lessen the link equity of all other links on the page, even if they are nofollowed or in the comments.
Looks like each comment has 3 links each-- the name, date, and a reply link. I would at least remove the date link-- I'm not familiar with Joost, but it should be fairly easy to edit in comments.php.

Internal Links: Navigation Bar vs. Body Text
Hello. I have a page on our site that is especially popular and has many inbound links. This page has the same site navigation buttons (at the top) as every other page on the site. Do these site navigation buttons pass along link juice to other pages in the same way that an internal link would elsewhere on the page? Thank you!

Anyone know of a tool to monitor site for outgoing links?
Is there any type of tool that can monitor a large website's outgoing links? I'm dealing with a huge site and was hoping there was something available that could check outgoing links without having to go through each page manually. (I'm looking to remove anything that links to a bad neighborhood). Thanks.

Why is SEOMOZ Crawl Diagnostics not in sync with Webmaster Tools
Currently, my Website, according to the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, has 401 'Duplicate Page Title Errors'. But in Google Webmaster Tools, under Óptimization on the Left hand Side Toolbar, if you look up HTML Improvements, there are only 4 'Duplicate Title Tags'. I have two questions re this: A) Do 'Duplicate Page Title Errors' and 'Duplicate Title Tags' have the same meaning' ? , and B) why are there 401 errors located by the former, and just 4 by the latter?

Which pages should use rel="canonical" links?
I have many pages showing up as multiple content. Most of the them belong to product pages for my store, login pages that show up everywhere on the site, etc. I know that I need to use the rel=canonical link in the header but after searching the forum I'm still unsure of what pages need it. Is it the pages that I don't want searched/crawled by Google or the other way around? Thanks! Crystal

Would I be safe canonicalizing comments pages on the first page?
We are building comment pages for an article site that live on a separate URL from the article (I know this is not ideal, but it is necessary). Each comments page will have a summary of the article at the top. Would I be safe using the first page of comments as the canonical URL for all subsequent comment pages? Or could I get away with using the actual article page as the canonical URL for all comment pages?

Blog Comment IPs Seen By Google?
I have a page on a client's site for testimonials (a dental practice). The page is actually a post on a Wordpress install where customers can enter their testimonials as WP comments. In an effort to encourage more clients to give more testimonials I was considering setting up an iPad or other tablet at the receptionist's desk where patients would be able to enter their successes as comments on the page. If I made sure the patients all used unique names and emails in the Wordpress comments, would Google still see all the comments are from the same IP and view this as suspicious?
