Too many on page links for WP blog page
-
Hello,
I have set my WP blog to a page so new posts go to that page making it the blog. On a SEOmoz campaign crawl, it says there are too many links on one page, so does this mean that as I am posting my blog posts to this page, the search engines are seeing the page as one page with links instead of the blog posts?
I worry that if I continue to add more posts (which obviously I want to) the links will increase more and more, meaning that they will be discounted due to too many links.
What can I do to rectify this?
Many thanks in advance

Ah ok I get it...sorry I am a little slow!
Thanks for your help and I will appy that method to remove the cat. links.

No, there are indeed over 100 <a>tags on the page. I guess I wasn't very clear... sorry for the confusion.</a>
<a>You have 10 blog post summaries listed on the page. Each post summary has a few links plus there are many other nav links on the page, bringing you up over the 100 mark. If you keep adding posts that count should stay roughly the same....when you add more posts the older ones are automatically pushed through to Older Posts, keeping the 10 latest summaries on that page.</a>
<a>As I mentioned earlier, one method to reduce the</a> <a>tag count on the page would be to remove the category links. They don't seem necessary since you are only using the one blog category.</a>

On the SEOmoz crawl, it says that the blog category has 106 links on it so I assumed that was becuaes of the page the posts are harvested on? Is that wrong as if its only 10 or so I can handle that!

How many posts do you want to have on a page? If your count is around 10 you should be in good shape.... and you can control how many of these posts appear on your first (summary) page. It looks like you're at 10 now; any additional posts are viewed through your "view older posts" at the bottom.
Agreed though, if you're showing 15+ post starts on your list then you'll certainly be over in link count.

Ok thanks, that sounds like a good idea. My worry is though, that as I develop the blog and add more posts, this time next year for example I will surely have at least double the amount of links? I dont see any way round it really just because I am using the page to harvest the posts?

You have 10 stubs on the page ... that's a decent number and will keep your page's link count reasonable.
What about the idea of removing the "Filed under BLOG" links? If you're just running the single blog category, you wouldn't really need the links. That will save you 10 links right off the bat that can be reserved for links in the short descriptions.
The 100 link limit is a good rule of thumb, but you shouldn't be penalized if you're going a little over.

Good idea...sorry! Its here.
Thanks

Over 40+ pages have been removed from the indexed and this page has been selected as the google preferred canonical.
Over 40+ pages have been removed from the indexed and this page has been selected as the google preferred canonical. https://studyplaces.com/about-us/ The pages affected by this include: https://studyplaces.com/50-best-college-party-songs-of-all-time-and-why-we-love-them/ https://studyplaces.com/15-best-minors-for-business-majors/ As you can see the content on these pages is totally unrelated to the content on the about-us page. Any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve.

Page disappeared from Google index. Google cache shows page is being redirected.
My URL is: http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/converse Hi. The week before last, my top Converse page went missing from the Google index. When I "fetch as Googlebot" I am able to get the page and "submit" it to the index. I have done this several times and still cannot get the page to show up. When I look at the Google cache of the page, it comes up with a different page. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/converse shows: http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/pop-in-olivia-kim Back story: As far as I know we have never redirected the Converse page to the Pop-In page. However the reverse may be true. We ran a Converse based Pop-In campaign but that used the Converse page and not the regular Pop-In page. Though the page comes back with a 200 status, it looks like Google thinks the page is being redirected. We were ranking #4 for "converse" - monthly searches = 550,000. My SEO traffic for the page has tanked since it has gone missing. Any help would be much appreciated. Stephan

Blog.domain or domain.com/blog
My client can't do domain.com/blog because he's on wix. I'm thinking blog.domain.com. Do you have any resources for the pros and cons of this? I understand that google looks at them very similarly now, is that true for google +?

Adding parameters in URLs and linking to a page
Hi, Here's a fairly technical question: We would like to implement badge feature where linking websites using a badge would use urls such as: domain.com/page?state=texas&city=houston domain.com/page?state=neveda&city=lasvegas Important note: the parameter will change the information and layout of the page: domain.com/page Would those 2 urls above along with their extra parameters be considered the same page as domain.com/page by google's crawler? We're considering adding the parameter "state" and "city" to Google WMT url parameter tool to tel them who to handle those parameters. Any feedback or comments is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

No crawl code for pages of helpful links vs. no follow code on each link?
Our college website has many "owners" who want pages of "helpful links" resulting in a large number of outbound links. If we add code to the pages to prevent them from being crawled, will that be just as effective as making every individual link no follow?
