Hi guys,
We are having a similar problem on our site: partysuppliesnow.com.au
There are lots of products on Category pages. However, SEOMoz campaign suggests it as a warning of "Too many links used on a page". Now, what is the best way to solve this problem?Should we leave it, as it is suggested by "smarties954". Or should we use Pagination? If that is the case, how can we control the duplicate content errors. We have a Canonical tag but what link should be given in Canonical?Another question: If we have used Canonical tag in case of pagination, does Google crawl the rest of the pages?
best regard,
Jarrod -
I agree with smarties954 I would not try to reduce the number of links on your page. From personal experience I have done site redesigns that have increased the links on the page to around 160. The first version of the site was optimised and doing well but after the redesign rankings increased even with the increase in links. The site was also much better from a user point of view which I think is very important.

Hola!! Bienvenida!
Estoy de acuerdo con la solucion que brinda "smarties". No es problema muy grave, solo es un aviso. La recomendacion es tener 100 enlaces dentro de una pagina. Sin embargo es una recomendacion que en ocasiones es dificil de cumplir en sitios "ecommerce" como el tuyo, con tantos productos. Lo que pasa es que aquellos enlaces superiores a 150-200 no los va a contemplar el robot de google.
Lo mas esencial es que el sitio sea totalmente navigable y sea facil de usar para los internautas.
Tu pagina inicial no tiene tantos enlaces, es en las categorias y productos donde se detectan mayor cantidad de enlaces 200-400. Una solucion es quitar lo que no es esencial para la navegacion y agregar mayor contenido de valor. Veo por ejemplo que quizas algunos enlaces en busqueda avanzada se puedan obviar.
Si es posible tratar de reducir a menos categorias tu sitio. En general el diseño de tu sitio me gusta. Solamente siempre tener en mente la navegacion para el usuario.
Saludos, cualquier duda me avisas! y en lo que podamos ayudarte.

I agree with overall comments of smartie. The general guideline is to have 100 links per page. This a recommendation made by Google however the limit is flexible. With more links you risk losing the ability to have additional page crawled by Goog.e
The most important thing is that your site is SEO Friendly and has the right user experience!
Your homepage doesnt have that many links. The problem arises in deeper links found in categories, and products where i found 200-300 links per page. A possible solution is to have only the most essential links and add more value content. For example, i see that some links in advance search could be trascended.
If its possible try to reduce the overall categories. I like the overall feel of your site.
Its vital to have always in mind, the mind of the user.
Regards!!!

I guess the error is Too Many Links.
In a perfect world you might want to keep the amount of links per page at 100.
However, due to the size of your site and the amount of categories and products, it will be hard to do so.
You are caught in a dilemma, you want to give your customers ease of access with the menus at the top on the other hand it costs you in pagerank since each link will give away some pagerank.
It it were my site, I would not try to lower the amount of links, but not exceded 200-250 links per page, and focus more on getting quality inbound links to increase the pagerank and offset the problem.
I would also add more content (text) to each category/subcategory since it looks like you have lots of picture but not too much text.
Just a personal point of vue.

How to handle "app" pages.
Hey guys, We've got an app - a drag & drop email builder - and we are looking to improve our seo efforts. That being said - we're not sure how to treat pages of the app that wouldn't tell google nothing at all basically (loads of duplicate content, lorem ipsum, etc). They're pages that are used by the clients to build their own templates ex: builder pages they are extremely useful for our clients, but GGL wouldn't prolly make too much sense out of them. That being said - rather randomly, before we nofollow noindexed them, some of them started ranking (probably given to the really great analytics data we have on them. Loads of clients, loads of time spent on page, etc). Can we harness them in a better way, or just nofollownoindex them? I don't really see how they can be "canonicalised" since they don't really provide any quality content for Google. Much like MOZ's keyword explorer tool for ex. Mucho quality for us - but not a google fan favorite content-wise. Thanks for your help 🙂

Does a JS script who scroll automaticaly into pages could make some content "hidden" ?
Hello everybody, Sorry for my english (I'm French), I will try to do my best... We've got an e-commerce website : kumulusvape.fr
On-Page Optimization | | KumulusVape
On each categories, to improve our conversion rate, we put a javascript to automaticaly scroll into the page to the product list. You can see an example here : http://www.kumulusvape.fr/44-e-liquide-savourea-smookies This script scroll and make some content "hidden".
It's not really a scroll, just changing page position. Do you think that our h1 and our category content could be consider "hidden" by Google ? Thank you very much for your help0 -
Will "internal 301s" have any effect on page rank or the way in which an SE see's our site interlinking?
We've been forced (for scalability) to completely restructure our website in terms of setting out a hierarchy. For example - the old structure : country / city / city area Where we had about 3500 nicely interlinked pages for relevant things like taxis, hotels, apartments etc in that city : We needed to change the structure to be : country / region / area / city / cityarea So as patr of the change we put in place lots of 301s for the permanent movement of pages to the new structure and then we tried to actually change the physical on-page links too. Unfortunately we have left a good 600 or 700 links that point to the old pages, but are picked up by the 301 redirect on page, so we're slowly going through them to ensure the links go to the new location directly (not via the 301). So my question is (sorry for long waffle) : Whilst it must surely be "best practice" for all on-page links to go directly to the 'right' page, are we harming our own interlinking and even 'page rank' by being tardy in working through them manually? Thanks for any help anyone can give.

If I put 'keyword/url' combination to 'stop run weekly', will it dissapear from the summary page in the on-page grader?
The summary page of the on-page grader chooses the keyword and url combination itself. Now if I choose another combination, I would like the former to dissapear from the summary page. The only option is 'stop running weekly'. But will it disappear from the list also?

Webpage with around 200+ inter links per page
HI, I have a client that I recently took on and I run a SEOmoz crawl on the website and a minor error was that .. 1. web pages have more than 200+ interlinks, reason for this is becuase the client offers a service to every place in the world and then has links to contact us/about us etc those kind of pages. is this something we need to strongly avoid? 2. The title tags are all over the suggested amount by 1/2 letters. - again is this really bad?

3 keywords optomize for home page. Should I create page with thoses keywords or leave it like this?
My online store home page, Furnace Filters Canada has 3 keywords with good ranking in google.ca keywords: ''furnace filters canada'' rank #1 position in google.ca keywords: ''furnace filters'' and ''furnace filter'' are on 5 or 6th position of page 1 in google.ca Those keywords are bringing most of the traffic to our site. To achieve this ranking, I had to use the On-Page Keyword Optimization, tool from seoMoz Questions: It is possible for me to create a page with the URL: https://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/Furnace-Filters or https://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/Furnace-Filter Can this improve my ranking with keywords like, ''furnace filters'' and ''furnace filter''? Is this a waist of time? If I decide to create a new page for optimization with, do I have to create one for singular and another one for plural? Creating a new page also mean removing, '' Furnace Filter'' in the home page title, until the new pages are index, I'm afraid to loss that 5th position in Google. Should I leave the home page title like it is now, '' Furnace Filter - Furnace Filters Canada - Online Shopping Store NOTE: we only do business in Canada, that is why Google.ca is more important to us Thank you, Jean Nichols

SEO Value of Within-Page Links vs. Separate Pages
Title says it all. Assuming that you're talking about similar content (let's say, widgets), which is better: using within-page links for variations or using separate pages? I.e., do we have a widget page and then do in-page links to describe green, blue, and red widgets, or separate pages for each type of widget? In-page pro: more content on a single page, thus more keywords, key phrases, and general appearance of real content. In-page con: Jakob Neilsen says they're confusing. Also, for SEO, you only get one page title, rather than a separate page title for each. My personal bias is for in-page, since I hate creating dozens of short pages for what could be on one page, but my suspicion is that separate pages are better for SEO.
