How can I avoid too many internal links in my site navigation?
-
Hi!
I always get this notification on my pages 'Avoid Too Many Internal Links' when I run the Page Optimization Score.
And this is the message I get how to fix it: Scale down the number of internal links on your page to fewer than 100, if possible. At a minimum, try to keep navigation and menu links to fewer than 100.
On my website I got a desktop navigation menu and a mobile variant, so in the source this will show more internal links. If I hide those links with CSS for the view, is the problem then solved? So Does Google then see less internal links? Or does Google crawl everything?
I'm curious how I can fix this double internal links issue with my navigation menu.
What are you guys ideas / experiences about this? -
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for jumping in here! Did you see Tomvl's response to your question (below)? Just make sure. Thanks for all your help in the forum!

It's a kind of responsive menu wel already have.
So in the source the links are hidden for the relevant view, but does Google also see it that way? Or does Google crawl all the links and still count the double internal links? And does this still has a negative effect on the page score / rankings?Anyone else a idea?

Can you install a responsive menu on your website? So your link count is not doubled?

Internal Links - Absolute Better Then Relative for SEO
Hi All Currently my site has a mixture of relative and absolute links for internal links. Could I just ask two questions? 1. Is it better for SEO for the site to feature only one method of internal links?
Technical SEO | | ruislip18
2. If this is the case, is it better for the links to be absolute? I'm reaching the conclusion that I should review all internal links and set them to be absolute, but wanted to check. Including blog posts, this is a 70-80 page wordpress site, it wouldn't take too long to check the links Many Thanks0 -

Can hotlinking images from multiple sites be bad for SEO?
Hi, There's a very similar question already being discussed here, but it deals with hotlinking from a single site that is owned by the same person. I'm interested whether hotlinking images from multiple sites can be bad for SEO. The issue is that one of our bloggers has been hotlinking all the images he uses, sometimes there are 3 or 4 images per blog from different domains. We know that hotlinking is frowned upon, but can it affect us in the SERPs? Thanks, James

While SEOMoz currently can tell us the number of linking c-blocks, can SEOMoz tell us what the specific c-blocks are?
I know it is important to have a diverse set of c-blocks, but I don't know how it is possible to have a diverse set if I can't find out what the c-blocks are in the first place. Also, is there a standard for domain linking c-blocks? For instance, I'm not sure if a certain amount is considered "average" or "above-average."

Hi i am very confused. I found out that go daddy was selling in2town.com and they are the owners of the domain name so i went ahead and bid for the domain name. i then won it and was told i would have to wait six days to use it and now i have received this email from them.
