Why does page report still have "Too Many Links" alert?
-
I'm a new Moz Pro user and see that the on-page optimization report includes "too many links" on page and references the "100 links" guideline that Google no longer endorses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l6g5hoBYlf0
Too many links is still an issue in terms of passing link juice, but not much else. Matt Cutts has stated that it is fine to have many internal links in this regard.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Thanks for confirming! Yes, I agree about user experience, but the many links come from two navigation menus which expand down to lower categories. It is a pretty simple UI: http://store.payloadz.com

You are right! More than 100 links per page is not really a problem for Google but I guess this is still a valuable option as adding too many links can hurt user experience as well! 100 is just a number but other than Google you should also give importance to user experience as well!

Unsolved How does Moz compile the "Important pages on your site are returning a 4xx error!" report?
I have over 200 links in this report (mostly from a staging site). I have deleted that staging site and I cannot find the reference to the other links. So my question is, where is Moz finding these links?

How can I reduce the number of links on a page and keep the site easy to navigate?
The SEOmoz Site Crawl indicates that we have too many on page links on over 9,970 pages. This is an ecommerce site with a large number of categories. I have a couple of questions regarding this issue: How important is the "too many on page links" factor to SEO? What are some methods of reducing the number of links when there are a large number of categories? We have main categories with dropdown menus currently and have found that they are used to browse and shop the store.
