Onpage linking
-
On my homepage, I currently link to about 40 internal pages. I'm considering altering the internal linking structure to have 50-100 links on the 2nd level pages. If I was to do this, I'd only need 8 homepage links.
Do you think the 8 pages linked from the homepage would go up in the SERPs as the pagerank would be less diluted?
I've heard so many mixed views on this. Be interested to see what people here think.
Thanks,
Pete

yeah, that was the question Thanks for your answer

I don't know if I follow you right -- but simply put: if you remove 32 of the 40 outbound links currently on your homepage, the remaining 8 will each pass on more "link juice" to their destination pages.
Whether those destination pages as a result then go up in the SERPS would then obviously depend on a range of other factors (such as the innate strength of your homepage, your competitors, etc)

What do I do with these back links?
In the last two weeks, I've got 10 pingbacks from this http://caraccidentlawyer.cc/coroner-ids-berkeley-bodies-who-were-killed-in-recent-car-accident/ and sites like it. The featured attorney is a competitor of ours and, since the links aren't sex/drugs/rock&roll related, (and he's linked too) I doubt this is a negative SEO campaign, but I want it to stop. These blogs are basically pure spam. Any suggestions?

Links from Instructables.com?
This is a silly newbie question. But will posting on www.instructables.com with some valuable content and url link back to my site help with "linking"? Or do they put a no-follow on all links on their site? Thanks for answering! Ron

Deeper Anchor Link Finding Tool?
Hi! We are still working on removing some paid backlinks from an old SEO company. Used Removeem.com which uses OpenSiteExplorer. Thought we had them all cleaned up. Removed many and disavowed the rest. Submitted a reconsideration request, but our amigos at Google said, "No, no no...." So, the example offending remaining link they gave us was xyzs.blogspot.com. However, the anchor text link that Open Site Explorer was just xyzs.com. Interestingly enough, Google told us to look at their list of links and this sample links was not even there. (neither version.) So, we signed up for majesticseo as it integrates wtih removem via api if you have an account, but that didn't really add any links. Is there a deeper tool we can use? Any ideas on how to locate some of these hard to find anchor links that Google is talking about? Any other tools out there? Thanks!! Craig

Redirect link from a particular domain
Hi guys/gals, I have a few domains and blogs which I use really for a bit of fun and experimenting. One of the domains (abc.com) wasn't doing much but has a few decent links built to it. I redirected this domain to an active blog (123.com). Here's the problem: There's a particular external link to the homepage of abc.com which drives a lot of traffic but isn't relevant to the content of 123.com which it redirects to, causing a huge bounce rate from this link. Is there a way (maybe using using htaccess) that I can redirect traffic from this one link to another domain completely? I've contacted the owner of the external site but they are unable (or unwilling) to change the link. I hope I haven't lost you all but shout if you need any clarification. Thanks in advance!

Rel=nofollow for affiliate links?
Hi, For a holiday/travel website including hotels and holiday packages from affiliates I am currently using the rel="nofollow" attribute to link out to the affiliate's website and wanted to know if this is the right way? To be more precise: there are distinct pages for each city and on a city specific page there are ~50 available hotels listed with some other information such as price and address, etc. Each of these hotels have an outlink to the affiliate's hotel website which uses private branding and as such is running on a subdomain hotels.mytraveldomain.tld. So in order not to pass on the link juice to the affiliate's website I thought I would simply use rel="nofollow". Would you also use nofollow? or are there any other opinions out there about that?

Too Many On Page LInk
The analysis of my site is showing that I have a problem with too many on-page links. Most of this is due to our menu, and wanting users to be able to quickly get to the shopping category they are looking for. We end up with over 200 links in order to get the menu we want. How are other people dealing with a robust menu, but avoiding getting dinged for too many links? One of our pages in question is: http://www.milosport.com/category/2176-snowboards.aspx

Weird links in OSE, wondering if NSEO ?
I was looking through our links since the last OSE update and was surprised to found several links which I have no idead how they got there. What made me suspicious is that the anchor text is relevant, but when i'm checking the page I don't see the link anymore (or can't access it, like in the first example). Some of those links : http://www.samsung.com/global/business/telecomm/product/download/SMT-G3210_opensrc_v2.01.tbz?diskuse=1&reakce=116246&clanek_id=11555 http://www.nyse.com/sspexternal/widget/nyse_dna.gg?location1=1&id=31866&sl2=1?id=28523&ncid=12930 http://www.census.gov/housing/povmeas/pov00/povpu00.sas7bdat?acad=20&dpt=10&niv_scol=CM2&annee=2010&form_action=resultat http://www.aarp.org/espanol/estados/texas.html/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=23 http://www.census.gov/procur/www/2010dris/web-briefing/cust-satisfaction-internal-dmd.wpd?p=9836 http://www.ups.com/asia/cn/chsindex.html/board27-das-wohnzimmer/board31-die-couch/search/Environmental_health/Food_safety__illness_and_contamination.aspx http://my.so-net.net.tw/hvgo2000/web/images/03?faq&page=4392 http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/l/a/index.html?replyto=104201 I don't even know if those links are real since I can't access many of those pages...
