On page links tool here at Seomoz
-
Hi Seomoz - first of all, thanks for the best SEO tools I have ever worked with (this is my first question in this forum, and also I just subscribed as a paying customer after the 30 days trial you guys offer).
My question:
After having worked for several weeks on getting the numbers of links in our forum on www.texaspoker.dk down, we are somewhat surprised to see that we didn't succeed in getting lower numbers.
For instance, this page: http://www.texaspoker.dk/forum/aktuelle-konkurrencer/coaching-projekt-bliver-du-den-udvalgte has (that's what Seomoz seo tool tells us): 239 on page links. Can this really be true? We can't find these links, and we actuually did a lot to lower the numbers of links, for instance the forum members picture was a link before, and also there was a "go to top" link in each post in the forum.
Thanks a lot.

Both of you: Thank you very much! I tagged this question as "good answer" as I believe I got my answer. What about you Pedro?
Great article by Dr. Pete, by the way - thanks for sharing!

There's a couple issues to address here, so let's start with the links.
When I ran the page through a tool called SEO browser, it counted 240 links. This was divided between 5 External and 235 Internal. This includes all the navigation links and most of the profile links as well.
The bigger question is, is this bad? 100 links per page is the accepted best practice, and that's why it's included in the tool. But it's not always appropriate for every case.
Dr. Pete wrote a great article on this: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many
In your case, and for the type of page it is, I'd say you're in pretty good shape as far as the number of links go.

Well as far Im aware the crawling in SEOmoz is once a week.
However I have a project with the same problem as yours. In www.digitaldiscovery.eu I have like 200 on-page links in SEOmoz analyze. I already made the correction but in the SEOmoz analyze it still shows up 200 links in several pages of the website after 2 months..... I think we need help here Soren
Anyone from SEOmoz support team please?

Hi Pedro,
Thank you very much for your answer. I have been thinking of the very same as you say: "Maybe it's not updated yet" - but I just think it's strange if the tool has a "memory", since the analysis is made from a complete new crawl ....

Hello Soren,
Your talking about links in your site that are pointing to external websites, right?
If so the SEOmoz tools will take a while to show the situacion updated. Still a SEOmoz member crew would be usefull here

Why did my DA and Links go down?
How could I begin to research this to find out why we have less total links and a lower domain authority. Our DA has gone down two points and our total links dropped by a few thousand. I'd like to find out why that happened but I'm just not sure where to start. Thanks!

Duplicate page titles in SEOMoz
My on page reports are showing a good number of duplicate title tags, but they are all because of a url tracking parameter that tells us which link the visitor clicked on. For example, http://www.example.com/example-product.htm?ref=navside and http://www.example.com/example-product.htm are the same page, but are treated as to different urls in SEOMoz. This is creating "fake" number of duplicate page titles in my reports. This has not been a problem with Google, but SEOMoz is treating it like this and it's confusing my data. Is there a way to specify this as a url parameter in the Moz software? Or does anybody have another suggestion? Should I specify this in GWT and BWT?

NoFollow Links from Subdomain to root domain better than DoFollow Links?
Our service at fotograf.de is a shopsystem for professional photographers. The customers can build their own website with our tool including an onlineshop to sell their pictures. Here is my question: One part of the customers use subdomains of our site like photographers.fotograf.de. On each customer website we include a backlink to our homepage www.fotograf.de. From SEO view is it better to set these links as NoFollow Links? Or should we put one Follow Link on the starting page on each site and on the other pages only NoFollow Link? Are these links bad for our SEO regarding link diversity because they all come from one root domain? Thanks for the answers! Sebastian

Is seomoz rogerbot only crawling the subdomains by links or as well by id?
I´m new at seomoz and just set up a first campaign. After the first crawling i got quite a few 404 errors due to deleted (spammy) forum threads. I was sure there are no links to these deleted threads so my question is weather the seomoz rogerbot is only crawling my subdomains by links or as well by ids (the forum thread ids are serially numbered from 1 to x). If the rogerbot crawls as well serially numbered ids do i have to be concerned by the 404 error on behalf of the googlebot as well?

Duplicate page error from SEOmoz
SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnostics is complaining about a duplicate page error. I'm trying to use a rel=canonical but maybe I'm not doing it right. This page is the original, definitive version of the content: https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-newsletter/sent-2011-10-01 This page is an alias that points to it (each month the alias is changed to point to the then current issue): https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-newsletter/latest-issue The alias page above contains this tag (which is also updated each month when a new issue comes out) in the section: Is that not correct? Is the https (vs http) messing something up? Thanks!

What do i do when all pages are grade A?
I've used the on page grade and now have all my pages at a grade A for relevant keywords. Most of them are cool, achieveing first page rankings apart from a few massive keywords. So the question is, what's next? What do i do now that I'm at grade A, but perhaps not #1 yet... Cheers -dan
