      Hi,

      I have created a SEO Moz campaign for my travel blog www.EspaceVoyage.net. The Crawl diagnostics tool raised a warning saying that for few pages I have a 'Too many on-page links'. All the problematic pages are of the following style:

      http://www.espacevoyage.net/2008/08/01/

      http://www.espacevoyage.net/2008/08/02/

      http://www.espacevoyage.net/2008/08/06/

      ....

      I am not sure what I should do with that ...  Since I continue to publish articles on that blog I imagine that that problem will keep growing and growing ... What should I do with that?

      Thanks

      P.S. That blog uses Wordpress CMS.

      Nancy

        I would not worry too much if the posts have 400+ words.

        Also, I see that the links are all category and archive links. These should be ok as long as you are using a plugin like the "All in One SEO Pack" in Wordpress and set NOINDEX on categories, archives and tags.

        Also, you can set the categories to be displayed as a dropdown which would make the links invisible to the crawler (if I am not mistaken). A drop down category list may not look good but if the links are seen as links then it should help.

          Hi Nancy!

          One reason Google is saying that is because you have a large amount of links compared to the amount of regular text. That will make them suspicious.

          You have ~100 links on the three subpages you´ve listed which is no problem, but, when it is compared to the amount of plain text this might happen.

          See Matt Cutts blog post about this: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-many-links-per-page/

            Keep it to 100, some say 150 for a home page, if its a growing infinate problem, i would address it.

            I dont use WP, but surly it gives you some sort of post per page limit?

              For your Archives section, you could consider changing the 2008, 2009 & 2010 archives to a single link for each year rather then a month-by-month breakout. This change will bring you to under 100 links on the page while still making your archives available to users.

              Prior to making this change I would suggest you perform some analytics to see how often these links are used. I suspect they are rarely used in which case this change would be recommend. The result would be an end to the warning and better PR flow throughout your site to your more popular pages.
