"Link_count" in the SEOMOZ crawl report

[NYC]

What will be the advisable "Link_count" that you in the Pro crawl report?

Hi NYC,

I am guessing you are referring to the "Too many on-page Links" warning in the crawl report?

The accepted best practice is no more than 100 links on a page, but keep in mind that what you are seeing is a best practice recommendation, not an "error". So, if there is no reasonable way to reduce the number of links without lessening the user experience, then you may need to just accept that you can't comply with best practice in that case.

If, on the other hand, you see that there are unnecessary links on the page, you can reduce the number and this may even improve the experience for the user.

In general, if the links are predominantly from menus and necessary elements like buy buttons etc, then I would not be too worried.

If the page is full of internal text links trying to pass link juice with anchor text, then this would be something to fix. Two reasons:

1. It is not a good experience for the user as it makes the whole page look and feel really "spammy".
2. The amount of link juice passed by a link which is one of more than a hundred on the page is so miniscule that it is pointless anyway.

Hope that helps,

Sha
