There - you can see how often I have worked on IIS servers

Hi Justen,

It wouldn't make a huge difference in terms of what it will do for you. Irrespective of language, Google will look at where a link comes from and it might do something for you (but it might not as well), but I really wouldn't worry.

If these links are being earned as opposed to you going out after them, then sit back and watch them roll in. If you are going after links yourself, then as long as some (most?) of the sites make sense to your audience, then again, you are good.

Hi Becky,

If the links are justified, don't worry. I have clients with 3-400 and no problems with their positions in Google.

That doesn't mean to say it will be the same case for everyone though - each site is different and sometimes you can have too many, but just think it through and if you come to the conclusion that most of the links aren't needed and are stuffing keywords in, then look to make changes.

But on the whole, it doesn't sound like an issue to me - there are no hard and fast rules around this.

Hi Jack,

I used Screaming Frog Spider to run the report, which is still going and up to about 9k pages so far.

Great stuff. Hop back if you are still having problems

Hi Rich,

Don't nofollow for the sake of it. If a link is paid for, then yes, you should nofollow this, but that is probably one of the very few occasions i would suggest you do it.

Perhaps if you have written a blog post and then were asked to inject a link into it, then I would be tempted to nofollow that, but I wouldn't do it to try and retain link juice - that isn't really a tactic these days.

Google wants to see you link to sites externally, as long as it is called for - this will help show your authority as well.

Confirmation from Google here to limit the links on a page to 3000

I would consider that to be a lot though

I honestly wouldn't worry Becky. The page looks fine, the links look fine and it is certainly not what you would call spammy,

Link crafting was a 'thing' a number of years ago, but today Google pretty much ignores this, as has been shown many times in testing.

However, you can benefit from internal links, but that is a different discussion. Read this if you are interested.

If you are interested, there is a round-table discussion on eCommerce SEO hosted by SEMrush on Thursday and that could be useful to you? Myself and 2 others will be talking on a number of issues.

Hi Dave,

I'm struggling to understand your scenario. So are you looking to have all searches result in landing on pages within one domain, or will they remain on their respective domains?

-Andy

Hi Paul,

There are many things this could mean to Ahrefs, so I can only really suggest contacting their own support to get the real meaning of what this is. I could make educated guesses, but they could still be wrong and would hate to misinform you.
