RE: What is Semalt?
I added code to block them from accessing the site. Is my assumption correct? That they essentially click on the site, then becuase they don't actually view the site, it causes the bounce rates to skyrocket? That's what the GA shows. So, won't google at some point, downgrade the site in the SERPS due to high bounce rates? Or am I not understanding that correctly?

RE: Blog Posts: 1 link per 125 words?
If it is natural, and all about UX, then there is nothing to worry about, in my opinion. Sounds like you are doing a great job!
