Anchor links percent
-
I really don't have a clue about how many internal anchor links are recommended for a page.
I think it could be split into anchor text in the article content and also in the whole page.
The article content: Only the unique content of this page
The whole page: Everthing including menus, sitemap, etc.
Does percent really matter?
Could an excesive amount of anchor links diminish pagerank in the source page?
Can google see an excesive amount of internal content links as spamming?
Thanks !!

What you are showing me is 1 paragraph with a bunch of links. It's not normal. I don't think there is an "anchor link percent" factor, but you are clearly trying to game Google's algorithm to pass link juice.
Make it natural.

Thank you for the video Francisco. It's simple and clear.
But my question focuses on anchor links from Page A to Pages B, C, D.
Page A
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
In this example I have marked with bold the linking text <a>to pages B, C, D. This is not about keyword density, this is about anchor link percent.</a>
<a>The main issue is... how many anchor links are accepted as good? one is enough?
1 Link to page B is the same that 2 Links to page B?</a>

Watch Matt Cutts (the engineer at Google) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk4qgQdp2UA
To me, what matters most is conversions, not chasing the algorithm. Sorry for the short answer, but listen to Matt.

Disavow links and domain of SPAM links
Hi, I have a big problem. For the past month, my company website has been scrape by hackers. This is how they do it: 1. Hack un-monitored and/or sites that are still using old version of wordpress or other out of the box CMS. 2. Created Spam pages with links to my pages plus plant trojan horse and script to automatically grab resources from my server. Some sites where directly uploaded with pages from my sites. 3. Pages created with title, keywords and description which consists of my company brand name. 4. Using http-referrer to redirect google search results to competitor sites. What I have done currently: 1. Block identified site's IP in my WAF. This prevented those hacked sites to grab resources from my site via scripts. 2. Reach out to webmasters and hosting companies to remove those affected sites. Currently it's not quite effective as many of the sites has no webmaster. Only a few hosting company respond promptly. Some don't even reply after a week. Problem now is: When I realized about this issue, there were already hundreds if not thousands of sites which has been used by the hacker. Literally tens of thousands of sites has been crawled by google and the hacked or scripted pages with my company brand title, keywords, description has already being index by google. Routinely everyday I am removing and disavowing. But it's just so much of them now indexed by Google. Question: 1. What is the best way now moving forward for me to resolve this? 2. Disavow links and domain. Does disavowing a domain = all the links from the same domain are disavow? 3. Can anyone recommend me SEO company which dealt with such issue before and successfully rectified similar issues? Note: SEAGM is company branded keyword 5CGkSYM.png

Linking to AND canonicalizing to a page?
I am using cross domain rel=canonical to a page that is very similar to mine. I feel the page adds value to my site so I want users to go to it, but I ultimately want them to go to the page I'm canonicalizing to. So I am linking to that page as well. Anyone foresee any issues with doing this? And/or have other suggestions? Thanks.
