Too many on-page links

[gfiedel]

I received a warning in my most recent report for too many on-page links for the following page: http://www.fateyes.com/blog/. I can't figure out why this would be. I am counting between 60-70 including all pull downs, "read more's", archive, category and a few additional misc. links. Any ideas or suggestions on this? Or what I might do to rectify? Perhaps it's just an SEOmoz report blip...

We currently don't have the post list rolling to additional pages so it's kind of passively set up to be endless, but it's in the works.

Thank you Keri very much, I will read the article.

Here's an explanation from an SEOmoz staff member about what that notice means and when you might want to do something and when to not worry:

I am very sorry if I am writing were I am not suppose to, I just found it as a topic of too many links on page. I am very new to seo and do not understand 95% of it. The website I have a problem is http://villasdiani.com It is one big mess. I do not know why on the main menu, when I click on villas or boutique hotels shows that they are archives, or why when I try to add Facebook admin on SEO from Yoast it brings me to page not found, we are not ranking on anything and now I tried Seomoz and it shows me too many links on page, which is actually sitemap...I thought that is what the sitemap is about...I am absolutely confused:-(

PS - I just viewed your bio and am very impressed to learn that you are 16 and have been doing SEO since you were 12. WOW. I really am impressed.

Thanks, Charles. I appreciate the time you put into your replying to my question. I hope my responses do not come off as defensive, but since you gave me a list of changes I thought I would fill you in on our reasoning behind the issues you bring up.

I believe the archives and tags on the right sidebar to be necessary and handy for our visitors.

As I mentioned, we are in the process of limiting the number of post excerpts/links showing on the main blog page. Thanks for your tip to limit to 10.

Why would you remove the footer text? It's true that we serve those areas listed and I want that on-page info included.

I hadn't thought of the duplicate content issue when using excerpts- not sure if it applies. And would love to not have to create additional writing tasks. Anyone else have an opinion about that?

We are not interested in using a template for our blog. We prefer to have our site design remain consistent on all pages of the site. We are using a template- that we designed. Perhaps I don't understand your advice on this.

All of the images in the blog have alt tags: EXAMPLE: title="soc_signals_4754681424" src="http://www.fateyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/soc_signals_47546814243.jpg" alt="The effects of social media on search engine results pages (SERPs) - social signals and Search engine optimization (SEO)"
1080 monitors: We are designing for iPad first and foremost and it's not a responsive theme.

My original impulse was to give a catchy title to our blog so I studied a lot of blogs and found that it seemed most appropriate to keep the blog title short and concise.  It also seems smart to keep it short to allow for longer post titles.

Thanks again.
