Hi xdunnings,
I would strongly advice you to use the relevant keywords as an inbound link in your content instead of 'click here'.
When you use 'click here' in your link text, you just let search engines know that your content contains a link. By using keywords in your link text instead, you let search engines know what content visitors may expect when clicking the link. The search engines' ranking algorithms are partly based on inbound links to a website. Therefore the text that is used for these links matters to the eventual ranking.
Another reason is that people don't always read your hole page or article. Therefore it is important for visitors and searchbots to use clear headings tags and anchor text on your page or article so they can have a quick and clear overview.
Hope this helps you!

Simple question: I wonder if I'm over internally linking?
Hi, What's you guys' policy on how much to internally link. I do it a lot - whenever it makes sense, but hold off if I just linked to the same page in the last paragraph, for instance. Would like to know your thoughts to see if I'm overdoing it. This is for Ecommerce blog posts, category descriptions, and product descriptions if that matters. Thanks.

How to block index of link and content
Hi, We have pages where articles are shown and in the sides we have small snippets of Articles which shows the title and close to 25 words and a image. When i search for something in Google the snippet image and content is shown and in Google when clicked it redirects to a page which is not meant to be shown for the keyword the visitor is querying Is there a way i can block all the links and content shown in the right and left side of the page so Google does not get confused with the page content thats not related to that page? thanks

Too Many On-Page Links
Ok so I am very new to MOZ, and we have just set up our PRO account and campaign. When we got our crawl results we had 4 pages with "too many on-page links". All of these pages correspond with our blog, which is a wordpress hosted blog that is integrated into our site. Our site is www.moxicopy.com and the blog is www.moxicopy.com/blog I am confused on how we have over 100 on page links on these pages, as we have very few links on our blog.

Don't understand this ... :-(
Hello, I'm going nuts as I don't understand what's going on with this domain of a client. We have this classical htaccess redirect from http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com But I'm getting Page Authority for both domains, and the non-www, which shouldn't be crawled, is gettting higher PA .. http://www.myanamar.rundreisen.de - PA 34 http://myanamr-rundreisen.de - PA 36 I attach a file, you see there that google robot is recognizing the 301 redirecht from non-www to www ... But, the site isn't doing good at all in google, it seems the home page has a penalty ... duplicate content due to non-www and www home page? So it would be great if somebody has a hint for me ... my client is losing trust in me Thx! GbDC4.jpg

Nofollow all outgoing links?
If nofollow keeps link juice from leaking from a site, why not use nofollow on all external links? What would be the benefit of an external link that does not use nofollow? Best, Christopher
