1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
-
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.

How to deal with Good lost links
Hey, I have a problem with a website of mines. Lately, it has been loosing an imortant number of links (like 20-30 % of the while link profile). Those links are good and coming from relevant blogs with PA/DA >25 and majestic seo CF/TF > 20 . My question is: What's the best way to deal with those lost links ? I have 2 alternatives here: 1. I reach out to those bloggers (whith which i have good relationship) and as them to put the links back. (But i fear this can trigger a signal of bought links; smth like, "I didnt pay so i got my links removed the, and now as i paid again, here i get my links live again") or 2. I forget about those link sources and go search for new, fresh opportunities So, which option do you suggest here ? thanks
