Too Many On-Page Links
-
Ok so I am very new to MOZ, and we have just set up our PRO account and campaign. When we got our crawl results we had 4 pages with "too many on-page links". All of these pages correspond with our blog, which is a wordpress hosted blog that is integrated into our site.
Our site is www.moxicopy.com and the blog is www.moxicopy.com/blog
I am confused on how we have over 100 on page links on these pages, as we have very few links on our blog.
-
Why would the source code take EVERY single keyword (for over 40 different articles), and link them all together..
-
Hey there,
Matt Cutts did a post on this in early 2011 around Google's one-time recommendation that pages should not have more than 100 links on them. He goes some way to debunking this but also notes the need to prioritse which pages you'd like to see recieve the greatest amout of PR, having robust content etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6g5hoBYlf0
Good luck.

i thought with the SEO plugin that the keywords were for each individual blog post? because that list looks like every one put together. How would I access the source code in my wordpress dashboard?

Look at your source code, quite a few links.
Delete all keyword tags and you're stuffing like crazy

I would suspect that either/both of your left hand nav bar and footer is being counted as links.
To be honest, I generally wouldn't worry too much about it anyway. As long as your page isn't all links and has a fair amount of content on it, then it shouldn't be a big problem.
You might want to ask yourself if so many links are actually necessary on the page though, especially the bottom ones which should be seen as keyword stuffing (poorly formed URLs as well, yo should use- not _ to separate words!) Google is likely you to punish you at some stage in the future for employing this tactic.
There is quite an interesting article and discussion within the comments section here.
http://moz.com/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many The general point the author makes is "More Links = Less Love per Link." Which I very much believe to be true! -
Dr. Pete wrote a post about this warning at http://moz.com/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many that should help give you some background and help you start on this. After you read that, let us know what other questions you may have.

Should you do on-page optimization for a page with rel=canonical tag?
If you ad a rel=canonical tag to a page, should you still optimize that page? I'm talking meta description, page title, etc.

Updated page not ranking.
Hi Guys. Bit flummoxed by this. I've recently updated our Mid year diaries page to be this years mid year products. i.e) Diaries that go from 2015-16 not 2014-15. Last year we rank really well for the search term 'mid year diaries 14-15'. All i've done is update the page to be focused on 2015-16 diaries, but when i type in 'mid year diaries 15-16' it's no where to be seen in the SERP. Even our home page is ranking higher! I'm really puzzled about this, nothings changed apart from the year! The only reason I can think of is that Google is reading the file name of the images which are related to lasts years products? For example the file name might say mid year diary 2014-15. Do you think this is what's effecting us? Very puzzling 😕 I've submitted it through Webmaster tool btw 🙂 Isaac.

How to view all 'followed internal links' on a page
I am trying to view all the followed internal links on a few pages of my website. The MOZ toolbar just gives me the total number of internal followed links. What is the best way to actually see all the internal links that are followed by the google bot from any particular page? Thanks in advance.

Page Not Indexed
Hi Guys I wrote and published an article last night on my site but it is yet to be indexed. This is strange as articles are usually indexed pretty quickly. Could you have a quick look and see what the problem is? http://www.rankmytri.com/tomtom-running-and-triathlon-watch/ Also all my Blog posts (in the blog section of the site) are not indexed as well (and I dont think they have been for a while) yet I dont have any messages from Google in my webmaster tools. Thoughts? Thanks in advance Ross

Pages or Blog posts?
Hi, I am currently building content for a customer's website. There are approximately 50 new content pages I am building about the business, products they serve, how-tos and tips and advice. The website is built on Wordpress so my question is would it be best to post this content as a different blog posts or as separate pages in Wordpress and link them up to a 'hub page' as mentioned on this post about How to rank (point 16) Thanks for any advice.

Can you 301 redirect to a page that has other pages 301 to it?
Two years ago updated url page to include better keywords and used a 301 redirect from the old page to the new. so www.example.com/keyword-1st-generation.html now points to ... www.example.com/keyword-2nd-generation.html That moved the pages up in ranking, but now have better kw for the url, so is it okay to redirect the /keyword-2nd-geration-html to www.example.com/keyword-3rd-generation.html And what is a good length of time before removing the 1st-generation url? It's been 3 years and there is no chance of using it again. Plus, no sign of it in analytics.

Link Juice not passing for root domain to an internal page
Hi Im working in a SEO proyect for the web fagorarrasate.com, it has good root domain ranking, but it seems like the root domain isn't passing any of its link juice to other internal pages of the site although there are links which link to these sub pages For example if I seach in Google for the page http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Stamping+System+and+Presses The firs page appears without any page ranking, so it seems that the root domain is not passing any of its ranking Why could this be happening? Thanks Jordi
