      We do have javascript menus on each page.  These are used by a visitor to contact a specific office in a specif city.  Could this be where all these links are being counted?  I don't see them elsewhere?

      What about links that are in the footer?  They actually link to the same pages as the menus, but are just  straight links.

        If you're referencing this site:
        http://eldercareabcblog.com/recognizing-the-differences-between-the-normal-effects-of-aging-and-dementia/

        Then take a look at your HTML as I saw many links.
        For the URL above, most links seem to be in the 'Sponsors' area and the 'Archives' & 'Categories' areas.

              Hi Keri,

              Those footer city links aren't actually injected via Javascript, they are written so search engines can see (and therefore count) them.

              I suggest start there if you want to cut down on links as that seems to be the area with most links.

                Oooh, that's a big footer, with a lot of similar content on each page for each city. Those are being counted, and I'd work on reducing those. When I look at your page, it looks like it's being written for the search engines and not the user. On the city-level page, there's a bunch of content that's below the fold and the video. If I didn't look at my scroll bar, I wouldn't have known that was there.
