    Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories.

    Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google.

    So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content?

    I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links?

    Thanks guys!

      Hi Anders,

      I would expect that Google would see and understand the jquery menu links.  They've been able to find links in simple Jscript for several years now, and certainly jquery is one of the most common libraries out there, so I'd be surprised if they're not already all over that.

        Hey Michael, 
        Thank you very much for the answer and your time for taking a look on my site.

        The thing is, I nearly cant cut down the menu more down. Without the submenues customers would have to skim through lots of products on each single page. So the current structure is more userfriendly.

        Would it be better to have a jquery menu that shows the categories when getting the mouse over? Something like on amazon.co.uk ?

        I know that my site lacks of low content on site and it will be something I will focus on from next month.

        Thanks alot for the reply

          You've definitely got a lot of links in there in your navigation, but I don't think it's really going to hurt you. It's doing to distribute link juice pretty evenly across all of the pages linked to from that left-hand menu and the submenus.

          You MIGHT consider reducing the left menu to just the main categories, and NOT including all of the submenus.  That would funnel a fair bit more link juice to the main categories, and the submenus I'm guessing are all pretty long-tail anyway, so they shouldn't need as much.

          I don't see a duplicate content problem here.  I'm seeing different content on every page.  You might consider putting noindex/follow on some of the intermediate pages that merely list subcategories, like this one:

          http://dorchdanola-netbutik.dk/category/belysning-el-artikler-485/

          These kinds of pages will be seen as extremely content-light...and that's not so good.

          I wouldn't nofollow your social media links. And rel=me mostly you use to link an author page back to your G+ profile, so I wouldn't use that here.

            Should I disavow these links?

            backlinks toxicbacklinks audit backlinkaudit disavow

            Hi all, I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
            Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link? I have included an example of some of the links below. https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
            https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
            https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5 Slightly different site but same favicon icon:
            https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
            https://www.whitetracks-holidays.com/Helicopter_Transfers_Villars_Switzerland.htm Thanks in advance for any advice / help!

            When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?

            We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us.  The links are from relevant websites and topics.  Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

            Do links to my website improve all pages?

            I'm currently building links to my home page (through directories) and blog pages. However, none of these pages are actually targeted pages for main keywords. In SEO, do links to any webpage of a site contribute to the improved rank of other pages?

            Do you need a place to ditch bad links?

            This is not a question as such, more a gift 🙂 I have registered a domain name to ditch bad links. For example, let's pretend I have a page on my site: www.mydomain.com/viagra and have never done any good SEO to promote this page, just a load of spammy directory links. The page used to rank for Viagra but then Google took manual action and I lost my ranking. Booo! Now the page is of no use to me until I get all these links removed and the manual action revoked. Even then, I'll be starting from scratch re-building good links to the page. Here's another option, simply re-direct the url to badlinksbin.com and say goodbye to all those spammy links. This bypasses the lengthy link removal process. Warning: I wouldn't recommend using this method if you have some good links in the mix, unless you can contact the site owners and get the links changed. And, don't forget to change the name of the url first so the Viagra page still exists on your site. As I've already set this up, I thought no harm sharing it and letting you guys use it too. I hope it helps some people.

            Is tiered link building a good thing?

            I think that I have watched all the webinairs and online courses available on the web, but I still don't seem to know how and where to get links from. I know what type of links I should be getting and what type I should be avoiding, but that little luck so far. I came across the website of Matthew Woodward about tiered link building where he explains how to do this type of link building in depth. It seems quite interesting but also a lot of work so I don't want to invest my precious time in something that will be penalised by Google in the near future. Is there anyone that can give me some reason why I should or shouldn't do this?

            Text Link vs image link?

            Which passes most link juice a text link or an image with the correct 'alt' attribute? Do the pass the same amount or is one more valuable than the other?

            Link Directories - Good or bad?

            I've just done a search on open site explorer for a competitors site that has is ranked number one. Most of their highest authority backlinks are from link directories. I just read an article on here saying to stay away from directories that state things like 'seo friendly directory'. Many of my competitors links are from these kind of sites! Will it harm me to get links from such sites? It seems to be working for my competitors.... confused.com!
