What happens if 20 links become 1?
-
Dear great Moz community,
I have a question regarding links.
Currently my website is listed on a site that requires that I pay money every year to get my products listed there.
However, I will not be paying this year. I will still be listed on the page (1 link towards my site) but my products will no longer be displayed. (around 20 products with links).Will this affect my rankings? or is one link from the page enough. Hence: all the links from that site were pointing towards the same place, my homepage.
Summary: 20 links become 1 link towards my website, will it affect the ranking of my page?
Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it!!
Highest Regards,
Gorhansan

The short and generic answer is yes, it will lower the strength you're receiving from that site but it won't drop it to 1/20th.
More links is a good thing if those links make sense but the more you have, the less strength each of them carries; 20 links will not offer 20x the strength of 1 link, if that makes sense

Internal Links - How to Increase them, Categories not being considered as Internal Links
Hi All: As per my understanding, Internal Equity Passing Links is a metric defining PA. Now my website has around 65 internal links while few of my competitors have more than 180 links. I am unable to understand how to increase the internal links passing equity on my website, because I can see, more number of links on my website than my competitors but opensiteexplorer does not show that. I am really confused. Please help out if anyone knows something about this issue. Thanks in advance.

Webmaster Tools Links
Am new to SEO so please be kind. I am working on link building (amongst other things) and notice that Google Webmaster Tools displays different links (and with different values) than Open Site Explorer. Some high value links which show up on Webmaster do not appear on OSE and vice versa. Which is the most accurate?

When removing links should I be worried about bad links from websites that have already been deindexd from Google or should I think that since it is not in these index any more it cant do harm?

Old links
I am looking to remove some old directory links that now look spammy. Some years ago the site was redesigned. The links are all to the old pages url, which is 301 redirected to the new. If we remove the 301 and let the page 404, will that suffice in Googles eyes?

How to improve (ASAP) the linking root domain, the followed linking root domains and the linking C-Blocks? Linkbuilding (or whatever) techniques.
I have a small site (.com) like any website in my sector. 30-90 pages. I have no crawls errors. Everythings is fine, just I need to improve my linking root domain, the followed linking root domain and the linking C-Blocks. Example: my competitors have 300 (one of them have 1300) of total links. I have 30. Anyone know some good strategies? techniques? tips? I just dont want to be in a farm directory, I want free links. I'm already running two strategies but it works so slowly. I want something faster at this moment. Also, any recommendation will be thankful.
