To many links on page and penguin
-
Could to many links on to many pages be a factor that the penguin update would effect your site. I know this is a broad question , but I am curious what people think.

Generally keep your eyes open for sitewide links, keyword-rich commercial anchor text, out-of-context links (like a link for laundry soap on an auto blog) and anything that you couldn't defend to Matt Cutts.

Thank you for the Link ! Mr.Cyrus ! I have decreased the Links, but what is heavily optimized one ?

These are all links to pages on my site, not external

Cesar,
I don't think that it would hurt your site but minimizing your on page links could help your site's SEO performance. For example, if page x was a PR5 and it had only 3 links to internal pages on your site it will be passing much more value to these three pages than if page x was a PR5 and had 40 links pointing to different internal pages.
My suggestion is to have a focused SEO strategy with focused keywords that you are targeting.
Hopefully this helps.

Hi Cesar,
Could be, yes. But it's not the number of links on the number of pages, but rather the quality & nature of those links and pages that matter more.
If it's lot's of low quality, exact match anchor text on lots of questionable sites, then definitely.
On the other hand, if you're only talking about the sheer number of links on your own pages, I haven't seen any evidence of this causing Penguin problems. On the other hand, if you have a ton of internal, heavily optimized links, it's easy to overdo it. How many links are too many?

My Moz rank and DA, PA increased ! as i said before these are the changes i made for my blog. and thought i want to share this with you ! Let see what other's say !

We're they effected by penguin? Did they notice an improvement in their keywords after these changes?

My Friends, asked me to remove tag widgets, recent post, recent comments. to reduce the number of on-page links.
Even when you noticed, some article has a thumbnail + title + read more = 3 same links to a source in a page.
so if you have 10 recent post - you will have 10*3 Links apart from sidebar links and navigation links. totally 30 links with 20 links duplicate !These are my idea and these are changes i made in my blog. personal opinion. I am also looking for other experts to answer here ! But you can check my blog with the original theme function !

Should I have content on my home page or links to my articles
Hi, i have asked this question a couple of times without any luck so i am hoping third time lucky. My site www.in2town.co.uk has dropped in the rankings for two of my important keywords, lifestyle magazine and lifestyle news, so i am just wondering if i have to much content on the page for google to understand what the page is about. i am thinking to just have the links on my page instead of the intro to the articles, for example another online magazine does this, http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/ Can anyone please let me know if i should keep the intro to the articles or if i should go with the links idea like femalefirst does to help google understand that we are a lifestyle magazine any advice would be great

Too many links on home page
SEOmoz crawl states I have 3 pages with too many links. My sites are hosted on Yahoo small business. One page they state is too long is the home page/ind. with 600 links to each page on the web site ( I think). Is this really a problem and how do I fix it? The other two pages are product categories that link to the products under the main product type. What I do not understand is that we have many larger product categories that SEOmoz crawl is not stating too many.

Should one page with markers or six separate pages?
Hi - I'm working on a site that was set up with 6 bios on one page, with markers jumping to each person's name. I was thinking about separating those into 6 different pages, but not sure if that's the right thing to do. Advice about keeping the bios on one page vs splitting them up? (Am I more likely to rank for those peoples' names if I have a unique page, or is the one page url with each different marker in it, just as good?) Ranking well for those names isn't a huge goal of the site, but it would be nice to make the choice that would help with that rank. Thanks for your input Emma
