Cornerstone Page And Outbound Links
-
I have a cornerstone page and 10 related articles that all have links to the cornerstone page. My question is, should the cornerstone page link back to those 10 articles as well or will it lose juice by doing so?
Thanks in advance

Understood. I read EGOL for months before I really grokked what he was saying about how to optimize a site for search engines.

That is great and all. But since this entire site is devoted to search engine optimization, your suggestion to forget about optimizing my cornerstone page doesn't really help ...

Comment... I stopped thinking about linkjuice a long time ago. I don't regret it.

I find things are easier now that I devote my energy developing content.

Thanks.
I guess all of my pages are cornerstones. Don't know why I would build anything else.
===================
I do have some groups of pages like you describe. They consist of..... One page that is narrowly optimized for a very difficult short-tail keyword (widgets) and that page links to supplemental pages on many related keywords (brass widgets, wooden widgets, plastic widgets, etc).
My page for the root keyword links to all of the supplemental pages, and all of the supplemental pages link back to the root keyword page. There links appear two places. 1) in the bread crumbs; and 2) in the paragraph text of the page.
I have had great results with these pages. My root page will have paragraphs and photos for every supplemental page topic... then the supplemental pages have extended content on that topic and lots more images.

Can Javascript Links Be Used to Reduce Links per Page?
We are trying to reduce the number of links per page, so for the low-value footer links we are considering coding them as javascript links. We realize Google can read java, but the goal is to reduce level of importance assigned to those internal links. Would this be a valid approach? So the question is would converting low-value footer links to js like below help reduce the number of links per page in google's eyes even though we're reasonably sure they can read javascript. <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a><a class="html-attribute-value html-external-link" target="_blank">javascript:void(0);</a>" data-footer-link="/about/about">About Us

Too Many Links On Internal Search Pages
A client has a too many link warning being flagged in SEOmoz. The problem is that most of the pages on the site are lists of tickets for an event etc. Is there a good way to fix the site from having too many links on pages like this http://www.easyseat.com/venue/yankee-stadium-tickets-for-sale.aspx when the user experience requires a long list of links so people can find an event?

Why does the on page report reports a full path link as Cannibalize link?
On the seomoz on page report i get a cannibalize error. This is due to a link being full path. When i change the link to relative path then there is no Cannibalize error. Should i change the internal links of the site to relative path? I would appreciate your help.

Should we add a link from every page with main keyword back to homepage
Dear all, We have a call for action on the bottom of all our 10K plus pages which has the words private jet charter in it. Here is what the sentence looks like: Call +1-877-727-2538 to hire private jet charter flights or get a private jet quote The "private jet charter" link goes to the homepage - the homepage has always ranked for the same keyword. Even though we have a separate page for private jet charter itself which may or may not be competing with homepage for the same keyword. The question is - does this help our efforts to rank higher for private jet charter or does it not. It used to be that the more links from all pages for specific keyword coming back to homepage was good - but now maybe algorithms may have changed and not sure.

product links
If you sell a range of products say 3 at the most, all on their own pages, is it ok to link to the other products within the range from each page? I have tried this and it eventually leads back to the same page is this a good, bad or doesn't really matter thing? Also is the anchor text still important?

What is the effect of too many internal links on a page?
Hi there! We have been doing a great effort during the last year but our main competitor is still above us in search rankings. Basically, the main differente remains now in the number of internal links, specially in our homepage. We have more than 200 and they only have around 100, so I think we are wasting too much link power among some irrelevant pages. What could be the effect of this?
