Yes Dan something like that could get reported. You should do your best not to have this happen, mostly on a large scale, a single incident would likely be ignored.

Dan the rule of thumb is if the text is readable and not purposelessly hidden then you're safe. The operative word there is purposelessly.

I will also add that in general crawlers are not going to find these types of problems rather they are reported by users or more often than not your competition. From there search engines may have a human evaluate the report and make a manual ruling.

Hi Heather,

Yes this is what I was looking for.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Generally the Wordpress core systems work great, its other modules that tend to cause issues. I don't see a specific problem with the htacess, did you install any other redirecting scripts like canonical redirects?

It sounds like this maybe a somewhat common issue and you may find quicker answers to this sort of technical issue directly on the Wordpress forums. I've done some basic things with WP before, but I have not digested it to the degree you would expect to find on the official forums.

Hi Heather, can you post your HTACCESS info that pertains to this redirect?

You may simply have an ambiguous statement in there.

Jonaz just to add to what others said..

#1 would be the most logical answer.

/ (forward slash) indicates a new directory so you can't use that.

% is reserved for character encoding so you shouldn't use that.

_ (underscore) joins as one word

and 12ct would be wrong

Hi Pravin,

That is a good question many people have.

Like most things SEOMoz informs you about you should take it as a very important suggestion, but not necessarily the absolute rule.

Here is a direct quote from Matt Cutts
REF: MattCutts.com

"But in some cases, it might make sense to have more than a hundred links. Does Google automatically consider a page spam if your page has over 100 links? No, not at all. The “100 links” recommendation is in the “Design and content” guidelines section, and it’s the Quality guidelines that contain the things that we consider webspam (stuff like hidden text, doorway pages, installing malware, etc.). Can pages with over 100 links be spammy? Sure, especially if those links are hidden or keyword-stuffed. But pages with lots of links are not automatically considered spammy by Google."

In my 8 years of building e-commerce website I would say more then 100 links is actually the norm. My personal rule of thumb for e-commerce sites is to keep it around 200 in special cases where have more links is user beneficial I will allow for it. Just remember if you make a kick butt home page and get a high pagerank for it 5+ then you put 200+ links on it, you have diluted the value of each link to almost nothing, so design accordingly.
