I get counts as in the image
is this logical and ok or should i work on finding why so many links and reduce them?
Thanks

yes, this could be related to the footer. though if you have over 500k pages indexed I assume you do have duplicate content issues anyway.

| Total links |
| /blog/top-select-9le-iphone-5 | 234,480 |When i check i get 234,480 as count of found places. I guess we had a footer 2 months back which holds 50+ links always on top viewed posts could be thats the reason
Webmaster has not updated yet but is there some other way i can check this?

check your analytics if these category pages bring any traffic. probably you don't want to block them via robots if they reffer traffic. these category urls don't look too bad. i guess your duplication issues are somewhere else. look for dynamic elements in the url for instance.

I have
About 548,000 results (0.11 seconds)
I can see a lot of category pages
example
http://www.Somesite.com/articles/computer-hardware
Where i can see small portions of each article as 10 in a page
I can restrict them via Robots?
Also what would the parameter be for such pages
thanks

Make a site:yourdomain.com search on google and see what urls you find that don't need to be indexed.
-
Ya noindex i cannot..
Each page has recent posts and this could be the issue i guess. But any suggestions on how i can identify from where these are pulled
-
i don't think noindex would help much. which pages would you noindex anyhow?
to me it looks like a lot of links indeed and i would try to find the root since it looks like you have some duplication issues hidden somewhere...
-
I have a related posts block that shows in every page and i guess these internal links are showing because of that
Would a Noindex and nofollow help? with these related posts block alone?

Its a Q&A site so you have 100's of new pages created each day dynamically on a drupal website

In my personal opinion internal links have more to do with site architecture and if they are user friendly! Try to focus on producing better user experience on your site and keep that in mind that links should not be too many that it comes under the section of over optimization.
You number shows that you have too many pages on your website. Just see if the user experience is not shitty then you are good to go!

Spam links - which link is most damaging to my rankings.
I have just started using Open Site Explorer and discovered a lot of spam links to my website.
Technical SEO | | A.Ronny
(I have mostly ranked on page for many years one but in the last two weeks ranking have dropped to page two)
The links have Anchor Text such as Scam - Dishonest - Drugs. Most of the of the links are "nofollow".
Will links with "nofollow" affect my ranking and if so which of the links should i priorities to remove?
Do I look at Link Equity - Domain Authority - Page Authority or other criteria? Many thanks

Will Google Recrawl an Indexed URL Which is No Longer Internally Linked?
We accidentally introduced Google to our incomplete site. The end result: thousands of pages indexed which return nothing but a "Sorry, no results" page. I know there are many ways to go about this, but the sheer number of pages makes it frustrating. Ideally, in the interim, I'd love to 404 the offending pages and allow Google to recrawl them, realize they're dead, and begin removing them from the index. Unfortunately, we've removed the initial internal links that lead to this premature indexation from our site. So my question is, will Google revisit these pages based on their own records (as in, this page is indexed, let's go check it out again!), or will they only revisit them by following along a current site structure? We are signed up with WMT if that helps.

Quality links are beneficial, but are neutral links detrimental?
So obviously a link profile featuring quality / authoritative / relavant in-bound links is preferable, but here's my question: If I'm starting work on a brand new domain, should I build links that one would consider neutral (i.e. from a non-spammy, but unrelated site) or should I not bother and only focus on quality links? Thanks

Canonical Issue?
Hi, I was using the On Page Report Card Tool here on SEOMOZ for the following page: http://www.priceline.com/eventi-a-kimpton-hotel-new-york-city-new-york-ny-1614979-hd.hotel-reviews-hotel-guides and it claims there is a canonical issue or improper use of it. I looked at the element and it seems to be fine: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.priceline.com/eventi-a-kimpton-hotel-new-york-city-new-york-ny-1614979-hd.hotel-reviews-hotel-guides" /> Can you spot the issue and how it would be fixed? Thanks. Eddy

Is it better to have URLs of internal pages that are geo-targeted or point geo-targeted links to the homepage?
For example... Having links that are geo-targeted and pointing to this URL www.test.com/state-service/ or Not having any geo-targeted internal pages and just having links that are geo-targeted and pointing to this URL www.test.com Eventually the site will be a national campaign, so I am concerned about having so many geo-targeted internal pages. Thanks in advance!

Duplicate Content Issue with
Hello fellow Moz'rs! I'll get straight to the point here - The issue, which is shown in the attached image, is that for every URL ending in /blog/category/name, it has a duplicate page of /blog/category/name/?p=contactus. Also, its worth nothing that the ?p=contact us are not in the SERPs but were crawled by SEOMoz and they are live and duplicate. We are using Pinnacle cart. Is there a way to just stop the crawlers from ?p=contactus or? Thank you all and happy rankings, James

Duplicate Content Issue
Hi Everyone, I ran into a problem I didn't know I had (Thanks to the seomoz tool) regarding duplicate content. my site is oxford ms homes.net and when I built the site, the web developer used php to build it. After he was done I saw that the URL's looking like this "/blake_listings.php?page=0" and I wanted them like this "/blakes-listings" He changed them with no problem and he did the same with all 300 pages or so that I have on the site. I just found using the crawl diagnostics tool that I have like 3,000 duplicate content issues. Is there an easy fix to this at all or does he have to go in and 301 Redirect EVERY SINGLE URL? Thanks for any help you can give.

Duplicate title issue
During the crwal SEO moz found duplicate title problems with quite a good number of pages. This was because my site has test questions like http://www.skill-guru.com/12/scjp-5-mock-test/questions and when user does next or previous, they can traverse to different pages but the title and descrition would remain same. How can this probkem be resolved ?
