Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think my site has 3000+ links but only 500 seem to show, it's so confusing and annoying.

Hi guys,

I have a question, for high quality backlinks apparently you go to these article websites where you submit your site such as Ezine etc etc, however is it just one article you submit to these as it'll look like duplicate content? Also can I have it on my site first?

How does it work?

Also I run an ecommerce website, how can I build backlinks to each product, theres over 200+ products and 1.6k subcategories.

I would like to rank for as many as possible but getting an SEO company to do this would cost to much. Any ideas on how I should go about it?

The main reason for 301s is so you dont lose traffic as SERPS sometimes dont update for a while. It carrys your Link Juice to the URL you re-direct it to which can improve your SERPS so you don't have to start your SEO from scratch. So it is quite important if you've done backlinking etc, if it's just a basic page I would still 301 it to keep Google happy.

I'm no expert, i'm sure someone will give you a more detailed answer.

I'm an x-cart user, CDSEO is a must; period.

On my Ecommerce i've just added it in robots.txt

You should be able to do something similar. Below is what I have but I use x-Cart as my ecommerce site.
