Too many on-page links
-
I received a warning in my most recent report for too many on-page links for the following page: http://www.fateyes.com/blog/. I can't figure out why this would be. I am counting between 60-70 including all pull downs, "read more's", archive, category and a few additional misc. links. Any ideas or suggestions on this? Or what I might do to rectify? Perhaps it's just an SEOmoz report blip...
We currently don't have the post list rolling to additional pages so it's kind of passively set up to be endless, but it's in the works.

Thank you Keri very much, I will read the article.

Here's an explanation from an SEOmoz staff member about what that notice means and when you might want to do something and when to not worry:
-
I am very sorry if I am writing were I am not suppose to, I just found it as a topic of too many links on page. I am very new to seo and do not understand 95% of it. The website I have a problem is http://villasdiani.com It is one big mess. I do not know why on the main menu, when I click on villas or boutique hotels shows that they are archives, or why when I try to add Facebook admin on SEO from Yoast it brings me to page not found, we are not ranking on anything and now I tried Seomoz and it shows me too many links on page, which is actually sitemap...I thought that is what the sitemap is about...I am absolutely confused:-(

PS - I just viewed your bio and am very impressed to learn that you are 16 and have been doing SEO since you were 12. WOW. I really am impressed.

Thanks, Charles. I appreciate the time you put into your replying to my question. I hope my responses do not come off as defensive, but since you gave me a list of changes I thought I would fill you in on our reasoning behind the issues you bring up.
I believe the archives and tags on the right sidebar to be necessary and handy for our visitors.
As I mentioned, we are in the process of limiting the number of post excerpts/links showing on the main blog page. Thanks for your tip to limit to 10.
Why would you remove the footer text? It's true that we serve those areas listed and I want that on-page info included.
I hadn't thought of the duplicate content issue when using excerpts- not sure if it applies. And would love to not have to create additional writing tasks. Anyone else have an opinion about that?
We are not interested in using a template for our blog. We prefer to have our site design remain consistent on all pages of the site. We are using a template- that we designed. Perhaps I don't understand your advice on this.
All of the images in the blog have alt tags: EXAMPLE: title="soc_signals_4754681424" src="http://www.fateyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/soc_signals_47546814243.jpg" alt="The effects of social media on search engine results pages (SERPs) - social signals and Search engine optimization (SEO)"
1080 monitors: We are designing for iPad first and foremost and it's not a responsive theme.My original impulse was to give a catchy title to our blog so I studied a lot of blogs and found that it seemed most appropriate to keep the blog title short and concise. It also seems smart to keep it short to allow for longer post titles.
Thanks again.

API for On Page tool
I'm looking for a tool similar to On Page Grader (Moz) or Focus Keyword (Yoast) with API. We are building out or internal CRM system. Even though none of these tools can replace manual on page analysis, it will be used as a metric and to catch human mistakes.

Why does one page rank while a similar page doesn't?
We have a blog post (actually several of them that have the same SEO characteristics) that brings a fair amount of traffic to our site (relatively speaking), and according to Google Webmaster Tools it averages in the top 10 in SERPs for various terms. This page has no external links to it, and very few internal links pointing to it. When I run Moz's On-Page Grader for the various keywords it ranks for, the page get's an F on all of them. It was not optimized for any keyword, and it isn't our best content; it was a blog post written a few years ago and forgotten about and was never promoted in any way. The topic does happen to be about something that people search for frequently. According to the keyword difficulty tool, all of the keywords it ranks for have 40-45% difficulty. We have lots of other pages on our site that we have tried to optimize and that get A's and B's in On-Page Grader, that have both internal (from the home page and main menu) and external links pointing at them, etc, but they don't rank well at all. Keyword difficulty for these keywords is in the same range, from 37 - 53%. Why does this one page rank so well when the other pages don't? Additionally, we have been looking at a competitor who has a page that ranks #1 in universal results for numerous keywords according to SEMRush, yet the page gets an F On-page Grader for those keywords. The page has 3 links to it, all from the same domain and it has a very low domain and page authority. The Domain Authority of this page is 47 and the page authority is 33 according to Open Site Explorer (compared with our DA of 30, and PA of 1), and the social metrics are a bit higher than ours, but neither has a lot (they may have 15 likes to our 10). Why does this page rank so well for them? How can we get our Page Authority higher? Thanks for any and all help.

SEOmoz Not Picking Up Links
I'm finding that SEOmoz often doesn't pick up on many of the links my client's websites are attaining. The links do appear in search engine and often have a high domain authority (often PR links, which I why I follow up to see if they've been picked up). I do tend to see many of the links appear in webmaster tools, so it's a little frustrating that they don't appear, even after months of pages being live. Thoughts?

Is canonical link enough?
Hi SEOmozers! I have a question. SEOmoz analysis report me some duplicate that I thought I had fix. I can give a concrete example. This page: http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/dec2011training-boston/moreinfo is reported as having 6 duplicated URL in the tool. When I click on 6, SEOMOZ tells me "Our crawl bots are getting their joints greased to fetch you even better data. Sorry for the delay!" And on the page itself, I placed a canonical link to follow recommandation. rel="canonical" href="http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/apr2012training-boston" /> As a result I am curious why I would have this reported as duplicate by SEOmoz. Is this a bug? Thanks for feedback!
