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.

Link in H1 tag?
Hi guys, We're working through a redesign of our product page and are considering the following: http://screencast.com/t/NBSsDGA9vgS3 Currently the product name (including the brand name - Arc'teryx) in this case is included in the H1 and none of the title is linked. You can see this here: http://www.evo.com/synthetic-jackets/arcteryx-atom-lt-hoodie-womens.aspx The firm we're working with is proposing keeping the entire title in the H1 but linking the brand name to the entire brand assortment. My concern is that the brand name is a critical part of the product title and should be text (not a link). Any suggestions? Thanks!

What to do about pages I have deleted?
I have been working through the dead links on my page and recreating the page with new content for those pages that it still makes sense to have on the site. But I have a few that were just changes of the title, spelling mistakes or other ways of saying the same thing In other words I created a page called "areas of the UK we cover" but decided to change it to "areas covered" However, I must have created links to this page and now it is a dead link with a page authority of 19 I think it would be spammy to have two pages, one called "areas covered" and the other called "areas of the UK we cover. It's not a disallow in Robots.txt because the page does not exist Please note I do not have access to the header to add code for a 301 redirect. I'm still using webs.com but not for new sites. I also have a page called singing telegrams london, that I changed from singagrams london. These are two words for the same thing but they are two very different keywords would it be ok to recreate this page and create content for singagrams london. Help is much appreciated

Too many page links warning... but each link has canonical back to main page? Is my page OK?
The Moz crawl warns me many of my pages have too many links, like this page http://www.webjobz.com/jobs/industry/Accounting ...... has 269 links but many of the links are like this /jobs/jobtitles/Accounting?k=&w=3&hiddenLocationID=463170&depth=2 and are used to refine search criteria.... when you click on those links they all have a canonical link back to http://www.webjobz.com/jobs/industry/Accounting Is my page being punished for this? Do I have to put "no follow" tags on every link I do not want the bots to follow and if I do so is Roger (moz bot) not going to count this as a link?

E-commerce On Page Concern - Links and Anchor Text
Hi, how you doing? I have a set of very specific questions or concerns about anchor text and linking on an e-commerce category page. I was wondering if you could give your opinions and counsel. I own an e-commerce store about steel construction products. I have several category and product pages. One example of my categories is this. URL http://aceromart.com/Losacero-25-Ternium.aspx My concerns or questions: I have several technical specs or sheets. Which i include the link on the right part in "Informacion Adicional". How should i link those? I am bit worried on the anchor text. Should i use something like [download "product" technical sheet] or just [technical sheet of product] . I dont want to cannibalize, but i also want to appear as descriptive as possible. what would you recommend? The same thing happens on my videos. How should i link my videos? Is there a best practice? **what would you recommend. ** Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Google Indexed = 35, 445 pages, Bing Indexed = 243 pages... Why?
Dear MozSquad, Can anyone check our site and let me know if there's anything super apparent that would cause Bing to treat us like a bum on the street? I recently made some structural changes which really helped with Google, but Bing didn't even budge. It's a lot harder to keep up with all the SEO initiatives I have in mind with it being a small start-up where I'm responsible for planning the entire Internet Marketing campaign, giving constant input on UX and site design, etc on top of 900 other things, so I figured it'd be a good time to use The Moz to help a brother out. Ideas? Domain: homeandgardendesignideas.com (yeah, I know it's a little long =P)

Internal Links & Title Tags, Which Page Benifits?
The best way I can explain why question is with an example. Lets say I have a parent parent page that is focusing on a broad keyword.
On-Page Optimization | | donford
I also have a sub-page which is focused more on long-tail keyword variations. When I make an internal link and give it a title tag, should I give it the long-tail keyword for the juice, or should I use the broad keyword for the parent page's relevancy? Thanks for any help, advise or pointers.0
