Also found a smidge over 1000 in SEM Rush. That figures though because you have about 50 x 5 in your navigation alone. Then the best sellers and then all the gifts and sliders and footer etc. THere's an awful lot on the page. Every basic advertising book warns about the common mistake people make when advertising - they write everything they do on one ad (or page).
Perhaps you need to organise things a little more. Read up on data architecture. It's a big word but not a particularly difficult subject. They are big on DA at google so the inference is that they use it to rank sites. I've also found in my own SEO experience that finding the defined edges of topics and sorting into those topics really works. There is no right answer as usual, it's a game of trial and error. You need to test everything and add / subtract subtopics from pages and swop them around to find the optimum position. No tool will do this for you - pen and paper is best.
I would say about 100-200 is the maximum amount you want to dilute the links coming from a page. I think 200 is ok if it's ecommerce. People say it doesn't work anymore but pagerank sculpting works for me. I don't do it intentionally but there is a strong correlation between number of links x 'link from' page's authority and target pages authority. When I link over about 250 links this stops working - presumably because the links are spread too thinly.
So get to grips with information architecture and then look at sensible topics for a page. Or just go to another page like yours that's ranking well and steal their IA, topics and internal linking strategy. Learning new stuff is great but plagiarism is quicker.

Question re: spammy internal links on site
Hi all, I have a blog (managed via WordPress) that seems to have built spammy internal links that were not created by us on our end. See "site:blog.execu-search.com" in Google search results. It seems to be a pharma-hack that's creating spammy links on our blog to random offers re: viagra, paxil, xenical, etc. When viewing "Security Issues", GSC doesn't state that the site has been infected and it seems like the site is in good health according to Google. Will anyone be able to provide any insight on the best necessary steps to take to remove these links and to run a check on my blog to see if it is in fact infected? Should all spammy internal links by disavowed? Here are a couple of my findings: When looking at "internal links" in GSC, I see a few mentions of these spammy links. When running a site crawl in Moz, I don't see any mention of these spammy links. The spammy links are leading to a 404 page. However, it appears some of the cached version in Google are still displaying the page. Please lmk. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks all! Best,

On our site by mistake some wrong links were entered and google crawled them. We have fixed those links. But they still show up in Not Found Errors. Should we just mark them as fixed? Or what is the best way to deal with them?
Some parameter was not sent. So the link was read as : null/city, null/country instead cityname/city

International Site Links In Footer
We have several international sites and we have them linked in the footer of our main .com site . Should we add "nofollow" to these links? Our concern is that Google could see these sites as a network?

How to defend against link cloaking
Hi, I own a website where recently a lot of backlinks have been going to my old domain that 301's to my new domain. During the past 2 months I have noticed a massive amount of links pointing to my old domain. When I go to look at the links and go to the page all I see is a search bar which to me this seems like link cloaking. I am not sure what I should do. Obviously I am not doing the link building and someone is targeting anchor specific keywords from multiple domains that all look the same. My question is should I report it myself in google webmaster tools before I get hit with a filter or penalty, or would this force them to penalize me. And if I do get caught up in a penalty I would not know how to fix this since I doubt the webmaster is linking to me out of the kindness of his heart. Any advice? Thanks

Removing inbound Spam Links
Hello, Last February one of my clients websites was delisted. It turns out that some time ago that had attempted to launch a social network along time lines of ning. The project had fallen apart of the was still up. At some point spammers found it and started using it as part of a link farm. Once it was discovered, the subdomain it was posted on was removed and the website returned to search within 2 weeks. Last week, the website disappeared again OSE shows that in the last 2 months the website has got 2000 (There are about 16,000 total spam links) additional spam links now pointing and the root domain. On top of that, Google Webmaster Tools is reporting about 15,000 404 errors. I have blocked Google from crawling the path where the path were the spam pages used to be. If there a way to block the 1000s of inbound spam links?

We have a client who publishes deals that are time sensitive. Links to the deals expire and so Google's crawlers are picking them up and finding a 404 If I no follow them, will the 404's still get picked up and reported in WMT? The same question applies to SEOMoz Pro.
