Too many On-Page Links warning + Javascript Menu
-
We do have javascript menus on each page. These are used by a visitor to contact a specific office in a specif city. Could this be where all these links are being counted? I don't see them elsewhere?
What about links that are in the footer? They actually link to the same pages as the menus, but are just straight links.

Oooh, that's a big footer, with a lot of similar content on each page for each city. Those are being counted, and I'd work on reducing those. When I look at your page, it looks like it's being written for the search engines and not the user. On the city-level page, there's a bunch of content that's below the fold and the video. If I didn't look at my scroll bar, I wouldn't have known that was there.

Hi Keri,
Those footer city links aren't actually injected via Javascript, they are written so search engines can see (and therefore count) them.
I suggest start there if you want to cut down on links as that seems to be the area with most links.

Hi Keri,
Actually, we are asking about this site, http:personalbankruptcycanada.ca
Thanks!

Steve,
Did this answer your question, or do you need some more help? We're happy to help, especially if you can give us the URL in question.

If you're referencing this site:
http://eldercareabcblog.com/recognizing-the-differences-between-the-normal-effects-of-aging-and-dementia/Then take a look at your HTML as I saw many links.
For the URL above, most links seem to be in the 'Sponsors' area and the 'Archives' & 'Categories' areas.

Is it better to keep a glossary or terms on one page or break it up into multiple pages?
We have a very large glossary of over 1000 industry terms on our site with links to reference material, embedded video, etc. Is it better for SEO purposes to keep this on one page or should we break it up into multiple pages, a different page for each letter for example? Thanks.

Internal Linking
If i link page A to page B then link page B back to page A would this have less effect than linking page A to page B only? Also are their any good resources for learning internal linking best practise? Thanks in advance.

Too many onpage links
We got the weekly seomoz reports and see that most of our pages and posts contain too many onpage links. I checked our website and all of our pages have a header, footer and left side menu. I did the math and there are 13 links in the header, 26 links in the footer and 76 links in the left side menu. This means that all of our post and pages have 115 links at the start. So what do I do? Do I remove the left side menu from the posts' layout and use only the footer and header? Or do I add nofollow links? Thanks!

Too many on page links on ecommerce site
I have an online store with 10 catagories, many of those have subcategories. I have a tree style navigation menu on the page. This helps people quickly find what they need. However, I end up with about 125 links on the page that way. Does google really penalize me for this? Is there anyway around this? Advice much appreciated!
