Too Many On-Page Links
-
Hello.
My Seomoz report this week tells me that I have about 500 pages with
Too Many On-Page Links
One of the examples is this one:
https://www.theprinterdepo.com/hp-9000mfp-refurbished-printer (104 links)
If you check, all our products have a RELATED products section and in some of them the related products can be UP to 40 Products.
I wonder how can I solve this.
I thought that putting nofollow on the links of the related products might fix all of these warnings?
Putting NOFOLLOW does not affect SEO?
-
It does benefit my user, so what you are saying is that I should ignore these warnings.
-
Correct, a good point. 104 links isn't that many anyway, if it's all fine on the User Experience front, then nothing to be concerned with.
I would suggest to Avoid NoFollow links internally on your site, that indicates that the page to be 'not followed' is not an important page, this is usually not a good signal to send to the search engines.
Regards, Simon

All the related products to one specific product are indexed by crawling another pages.
Example, the hp 9000 mfp above. has related product its toners.
However those toners are also accesed by the toner category page.

Gyi's suggestion to analyze your crawl rate is spot on. The SEOMoz warning is out of date - Google used to advise that you not have more than 100 links on a page, but Cutts would tell you today that G no longer prefers a limit BUT that the question you should ask is: does it benefit my website visitor?
-
I wouldn't look at number of links on a page in a complete vacuum. Disclaimer, I haven't reviewed your site. Keep in mind that your site's authority matters in terms of how a search engine will Carl your site (length of time, number of pages, etc). Are all the links on your pages getting crawled and indexed (gwmt)? Have you tried testing whether a page solely linked from a page containing many links, from a link after those links, gets crawled? This might be a better indication of whether you truly have too many.

Transferring link juice on a page with over 150 links
I'm building a resource section that will probably, hopefully, attract a lot of external links but the problem here is that on the main index page there will be a big number of links (around 150 internal links - 120 links pointing to resource sub-pages and 30 being the site's navigational links), so it will dilute the passed link juice and possibly waste some of it. Those 120 sub-pages will contain about 50-100 external links and 30 internal navigational links. In order to better visualise the matter think of this resource as a collection of hundreds of blogs categorised by domain on the index page (those 120 sub-pages). Those 120 sub-pages will contain 50-100 external links The question here is how to build the primary page (the one with 150 links) so it will pass the most link juice to the site or do you think this is OK and I shouldn't be worried about it (I know there used to be a roughly 100 links per page limit)? Any ideas? Many thanks

Links in Webmaster Tools that aren't really linking to us
I've noticed that there is a domain in WMT that Google says is linking to our domain from 173 different pages, but it actually isn't linking to us at all on ANY of those pages. The site is a business directory that seems to be automatically scraping business listings and adding them to hundreds of different categories. Low quality crap that I've disavowed just in case. I have hand checked a bunch of the pages that WMT is reporting with links to us by viewing source, but there's no links to us. I've also used crawlers to check for links, but they turn up nothing. The pages do, however, mention our brand name. I find this very odd that Google would report links to our site when there isn't actually links to our site. Has anyone else ever noticed something like this?

Rel canonical for partner sites - product pages only or also homepage and other key pages?
Hello there Our main site is www.arenaflowers.com. We also run a number of partner sites (eg: http://flowershop.cancerresearchuk.org/). We've relcanonical'd the products on the partner site back to the main (arenaflowers.com) site. eg: http://flowershop.cancerresearchuk.org/flowers/tutti_frutti_es_2013 rel canonicals back to: http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers/tutti_frutti_es_2013). My question: Should we also relcanonical the homepage and other key pages on partner sites back to the main arenaflowers website too? The content is similar but not identical. We don't want our partner sites to be outranking the original (as is the case on kw flower delivery for example). (NB this situation may be complicated by the fact we appear to have an unnatural link penalty on af.com (and when we did an upgrade a while back, the af.com site fell out of the index altogether due to some issues with our move to AWS.) We're getting professional SEO advice on this but wondered what the Moz community's thoughts were.. Cheers, Will

Too many links on my site
Hi there everybody, I am a total SEO newbie and i am burning with questions. I had my site crawled and found out that it contains too many links. The reason is that it is a site where I constantly write news and articles and each one of them is a new Joomla item, thus a new link. I actually thought lots of content is good for SEO. How am I supposed to reduce the link amount?
