Too many on page links
-
Hello
I have about 800 warnings with this.
Example of one url with this problem is:
http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?dir=asc&order=price
I was checking and I think all links are important. But I suppose that if I put a nofollow on the links on the left which are only for navigation purposes I can get rid of these warnings.
Any other idea?

2569 links is far too many, and is likely a very big problem both for your users and SEO. You have more links then the New York Times.
Ask yourself this question....if you had to reduce your total number of links to less then 100, what would you do?
You can likely use category pages for your products and only link to the category pages from the navigation.

I have same problem. Crawl diagnostic (seomoz) show me Too Many On-Page Links: 2569. But webpage kabelky.eu is e-shop, so we have many products - each one is link.
Is this big problem. Does Google know, that we are e-shop with many products? What can we do?
Also we have problem with duplicate page title, because on this links with parameters:
http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/
http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/?d=a
http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/?d=a&of=12 ... etc..
have same title
We added canonicals to all these page, but I'm not sure it's fine solution.
Thanks for help in advance..

Ryan's right - nofollow wouldn't change the warning, and it's not effective for link-sculpting anymore. I wouldn't use it on main navigation links. 100 links is just a rule of thumb - it's a balancing act:

I see you have canonicals in place
Gotta love Magento

Not true. Adding the "nofollow" tag to a link does not reduce the link count. It will have no effect on the warning. You need to remove the link and reduce the link count to below 100 in order to remove the warning.
In your case, I would disregard the warning. The warning will go off anytime more then 100 links are discovered on a page. Your site shows 103 links. I have recommended to SEOmoz they adjust the tool to allow users to adjust the link count warning to a user-selectable number. Hopefully that feature will be implemented.
A small note. The copyright date for your site shows as 2008. I would recommend adjusting it to 2012.

Are you having issues getting important pages indexed? If not then you don't really need to worry about this. This is just a good practice warning, but not necessarily an actual error.
If you are then you should create an XML sitemap and reference it in your robots.txt to help get more of them indexed. Also, submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools.
I'd say a more important issue you should deal with first is making your URLs and Page Titles more search engine friendly.
For example this Page Title & URL:
Page Title: Clearance http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?brand=Dell&dir=asc&order=price
Would be much better as something like the following:
Page Title: Dell Laser Printers on Clearance
http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance/dell/laser-printers/price-low-high/

Page feedback
We recently wrote a new website page to cover the direct mail services our organization offers. We kept the title tag to 70 characters, the meta description under 150 characters. H1 tag has what we feel is the most important term. If anyone out there has time to review & provide a little feedback, we'd really appreciate it. It would be great to know if it is built well and providing a solid end user experience. http://www.cushingco.com/print_products/additional_services/direct_mail.shtml At the moment, the only links pointing to this page are from our blog. One bit of content I am contemplating is a short paragraph - What is Direct Mail Marketing? Literally providing a short definition of it. The page was activated last Thursday and showing up in some Google results on the 4th/5th page but I am thinking this is probably just a temporary bump for now. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice!!!

According to 1 of my PRO campaigns - I have 250+ pages with Duplicate Content - Could my empty 'tag' pages be to blame?
Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content. should I just delete the tag pages? Is that worth my time? how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

How can I prevent duplicate content between www.page.com/ and www.page.com
SEOMoz's recent crawl showed me that I had an error for duplicate content and duplicate page titles. This is a problem because it found the same page twice because of a '/' on the end of one url. e.g. www.page.com/ vs. www.page.com My question is do I need to be concerned about this. And is there anything I should put in my htaccess file to prevent this happening. Thanks!

Can I use canonical tags to merge property map pages and availability pages to their counterpart overview pages?
I have a property website, for each property are 4-5 tabs each with their own URL, these pages include the overview page which is content rich, and auxilliary pages such as maps, availability, can I use a canonical tag to merge the tabs with very little content to their corresponding overview page which is content rich? I.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview This page has tabs for map, town info, availability which all have their own url i.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/map
Technical SEO | | assertive-media
www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/availability
www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/towninfo Because these auxilary pages do not contain much content can I place a canonical tag in them pointing back to the content rich overview page at www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview?0 -
Cache my page
So I need to get this page cached: http://www.flowerpetal.com/index.jsp?info=13 It's been 4-5 months since uploaded. Now it's linked to from the homepage of a PR5 site. I've tweeted that link 10 times, facebooked, stumbled, linked to it from other articles and still nothing. And I submitted the url to google twice. Any thoughts? Thanks Tyler
