      Hello.

      My Seomoz report this week tells me that I have about 500 pages with

      Too Many On-Page Links

      One of the examples is this one:

      https://www.theprinterdepo.com/hp-9000mfp-refurbished-printer (104 links)

      If you check, all our products have a RELATED products section and in some of them the related products can be UP to 40 Products.

      I wonder how can I solve this.

      I thought that putting nofollow on the links of the related products might fix all of these warnings?

      Putting NOFOLLOW does not affect SEO?

        I wouldn't look at number of links on a page in a complete vacuum. Disclaimer, I haven't reviewed your site. Keep in mind that your site's authority matters in terms of how a search engine will Carl your site (length of time, number of pages, etc). Are all the links on your pages getting crawled and indexed (gwmt)? Have you tried testing whether a page solely linked from a page containing many links, from a link after those links, gets crawled? This might be a better indication of whether you truly have too many.

          Gyi's suggestion to analyze your crawl rate is spot on. The SEOMoz warning is out of date - Google used to advise that you not have more than 100 links on a page, but Cutts would tell you today that G no longer prefers a limit BUT that the question you should ask is: does it benefit my website visitor?

            All the related products to one specific product are indexed by crawling another pages.

            Example, the hp 9000 mfp above. has related product its toners.

            However those toners are also accesed by the toner category page.

              Correct, a good point. 104 links isn't that many anyway, if it's all fine on the User Experience front, then nothing to be concerned with.

              I would suggest to Avoid NoFollow links internally on your site, that indicates that the page to be 'not followed' is not an important page, this is usually not a good signal to send to the search engines.

              Regards, Simon

                It does benefit my user, so what you are saying is that I should ignore these warnings.
