1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
-
Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories.
Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google.
So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content?
I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links?
Thanks guys!

Hi Anders,
I would expect that Google would see and understand the jquery menu links. They've been able to find links in simple Jscript for several years now, and certainly jquery is one of the most common libraries out there, so I'd be surprised if they're not already all over that.

Hey Michael,
Thank you very much for the answer and your time for taking a look on my site.The thing is, I nearly cant cut down the menu more down. Without the submenues customers would have to skim through lots of products on each single page. So the current structure is more userfriendly.
Would it be better to have a jquery menu that shows the categories when getting the mouse over? Something like on amazon.co.uk ?
I know that my site lacks of low content on site and it will be something I will focus on from next month.
Thanks alot for the reply

You've definitely got a lot of links in there in your navigation, but I don't think it's really going to hurt you. It's doing to distribute link juice pretty evenly across all of the pages linked to from that left-hand menu and the submenus.
You MIGHT consider reducing the left menu to just the main categories, and NOT including all of the submenus. That would funnel a fair bit more link juice to the main categories, and the submenus I'm guessing are all pretty long-tail anyway, so they shouldn't need as much.
I don't see a duplicate content problem here. I'm seeing different content on every page. You might consider putting noindex/follow on some of the intermediate pages that merely list subcategories, like this one:
http://dorchdanola-netbutik.dk/category/belysning-el-artikler-485/
These kinds of pages will be seen as extremely content-light...and that's not so good.
I wouldn't nofollow your social media links. And rel=me mostly you use to link an author page back to your G+ profile, so I wouldn't use that here.

If someone were to link to our site on now on an old article (dating back 1-2 years) is that still beneficial if all other variables are good?
I'm trying to build up our external links and am finding lots of opportunities, some of which are on older articles dating back to 2014, 2013 etc. These pieces are relevant to our site and have high DA, I'm wondering if the post date of these articles matter? Thanks!

Bad Links to New Domain - Do I Disavow?
About 2 months ago a new client of mine bought a domain and we built him a nice new site; however, it appears the previous owner of the domain used some spammy SEO tactics. I've had to redirect about 30 pages and now I've found some spammy links. I've only discovered a few of them, but he doesn't have that many links yet so I'm wondering what kind of impact this will have. Is it worth disavowing a half dozen links? The sites are in Chinese and appear to be unmanaged link farms so getting the webmaster to remove them is unlikely. Also wondering what else is lurking out there that I haven't discovered yet... I suggested to the client we consider a different domain since the site is new, but he's become pretty attached to it. Any ideas?

Hope you would understand my long explanation and case Please help us. Thank you

Is a no-follow link/sponsored link a good editorial link?
Ok maybe this is a dumb question. I really need some better, more quality backlinks pointing to my site. There is a site that has domain authority of 72, page rank 5 that is offering me a sponsored blog post. Do sponsored posts count as a good editorial link? Also what if they are no-follow (and how would I find out ahead of time), does that still give me link juice?

Penguin Recover: Remove links vs Burry Links
The best is to do both. However with those with limited resources, would building more links with branded and naked URL anchor links be a better solution than painstakingly asking every webmaster to remove links.

If I write a PR release on a site such as PRweb with anchor-text links that is picked up and published by other news sites, do the engines consider this duplicate content or additional, beneficial links?
I recently wrote a news release on PRweb that was picked up identically by 8 other news websites, with the same anchor-text links as the original. Is the reproduction of duplicate content and links across different websites like this to the benefit or detriment of SEO and ranking power? Some of the links are: http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/view/pressrelease/eventa-new-eventa-christmas-parties-website-is-launched-648923?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease http://www.prweb.com/releases/christmasparties/neweventasite/prweb8562064.htm Many thanks!!
