Is there Page Link Counter software?
-
Hi,
I receive more than 100 links error and when i count the links, it is not even 100. I'd like to know how 100 links are counted. I was wondering if anyone can suggest me a tool and method that can help me to count links.
Thank you

Thank you everyone and Matt, I agree Moz should have an option to click on that error 'ignore' or 'fixed' so it doesn't worry us.

Easy - View the page source:
- in Chrome or firefox : right click then select "View page source"
- In Internet explorer : Download Chrome, then... only kidding - Right-click then select "View Source"
See how many times the string href appears in the text - those are the links. The quickest way is often to cut and paste the source in to something like word then do a search and replace. It'll tell you how many it removed.
However - don't focus too much on that "error". It is absolutely fine to have more than 100 links on a page - as long as they are all needed. Modern navigation often has more than this and does it in a way that is usable and search friendly. Personally I think that Moz.com tool should be updated to stop so many people worrying about this.
The problem used to be that Google would stop following them after 100, but that is no longer the case. It can sometimes be an issue in that it creates a lot of code that adds to download times, but that is a tenuous link really.

Screaming Frog differentiates this with Outlinks (onpage links pointing to another resource on your site) and External Outlinks (onpage links pointing to another domain).
Does that help?

I think Screaming frog shows backlinks and internal links but not onpage links. My questions is for '' Over 100Links Error' Google recommends to have less than 100 links and on Moz reports, this comes up as an error. More info is here: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-many-links-per-page/
I need to know how many links i actually have the on the page so i can remove them.

Hi Sida,
Are you talking about backlinks? If so just use opensite explorer, Majestic SEO or Ahrefs. Or just good old Google Webmaster Tools (links to your site). If you are talking about website links, you can use internal link analysis software like Xenu link sleuth.

Listing all services on one page vs separate pages per service
My company offers several generalized categories with more specific services underneath each category. Currently the way it's structured is if you click "Voice" you get a full description of each voice service we offer. I have a feeling this is shooting us in the foot. Would it be better to have a general overview of the services we offer on the "Voice" page that then links to the specified service? The blurb about the service on the overview page would be unique, not taken from the actual specific service's page.

Should I link G+ and social accounts to internal pages?
Hi Gang, We are a multi-state law firm (Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico) that is looking to increase ranking for Michigan and New Mexico for 2015. (Michigan and New Mexico used to exist as subdomains under 2keller.com but have now been incorporated as pages under the main domain.) The question is whether or not we link directly to what we call the "main state pages" from various accounts like G+, FB, Yellow Pages, Yelp, etc.? For example, should we link from our New Mexcio G+ page to our New Mexico main page, or should it be linked to the main domain at 2keller.com where our general branding is on display? I seem to remember somewhere seeing a Whiteboard Friday or some other forum in which Rand had spoke to something similar. I believe he advised AGAINST trying to control the "user experience" for instances like these, but I can't locate same. I understand that clients/customers are looking for our main brand, but it would seem to be the better experience to get users in state specific locales to their state specific page. Am I thinking wrong about this? Thanks in advance! Wayne

Redirecting https pages
If I add 301 redirects from the https versions of the root domain to the http:www.website.com (canonical version), will this prevent users from being able to access the https version? I believe the https version is only accessed once users log into the site. Thank you!

I have a client where every page has over 100 links
Some links are in the main navigation (it has a secondary and tertiary level) and some links are repeated in the left navigation. Every page has over 100 links if crawled. From a practical standpoint, would you (a) delete the 3rd-level links (or at least argue for that) or (b) rel='nofollow' them? From a usability standpoint, this setup works as they are almost one click from everything. From a crawl standpoint, I see some pages missed in google (the sitemap has over 200 links). Looking for the best on-page current SEO advice to set these guys on the road to success.

Too many links on page -- how to fix
We are getting reports that there are too many links on most of the pages in one of the sites we manage. Not just a few too many... 275 (versus <100 that is the target). The entire site is built with a very heavy global navigation, which contains a lot of links -- so while the users don't see all of that, Google does. Short of re-architecting the site, can you suggest ways to provide site navigation that don't violate this rule?

Product links on homepage
Hi, I;m wondering if it really does aid SEO or even hinder it now to have lists of top selling products as links on the base of each page. This was recommended to us sometime ago by a consultant so we did it but is it outdated? I'm concerned it may penalise our pages now by creating too many links? opinions appreciated. wwww.gourmetdirect.com and scroll down to see what I mean

Too Many On-Page Links
I recently took on a website design client and ran his website through a battery of tests using Pro to take a look at the crawl errors. One that seems to stump me is the error "Too many On-Page links" concerning his blog. (http://franksdesigns.com/wp/blog) This is the first time I've seen this error and am rather confused. The report says there are 104 links on this page. However, I'm having trouble grasping this concept or finding the 104 links. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!
