Too many on page links

[levalencia1]

Hello

I have about 800 warnings with this.

Example of one url with this problem is:

http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?dir=asc&order=price

I was checking and I think all links are important.  But I suppose that if I put a nofollow on the links on the left which are only for navigation purposes I can get rid of these warnings.

Any other idea?

Are you having issues getting important pages indexed? If not then you don't really need to worry about this. This is just a good practice warning, but not necessarily an actual error.

If you are then you should create an XML sitemap and reference it in your robots.txt to help get more of them indexed. Also, submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools.

I'd say a more important issue you should deal with first is making your URLs and Page Titles more search engine friendly.

For example this Page Title & URL:

Page Title: Clearance http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?brand=Dell&dir=asc&order=price

Would be much better as something like the following:

Page Title: Dell Laser Printers on Clearance
http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance/dell/laser-printers/price-low-high/

Not true. Adding the "nofollow" tag to a link does not reduce the link count. It will have no effect on the warning. You need to remove the link and reduce the link count to below 100 in order to remove the warning.

In your case, I would disregard the warning. The warning will go off anytime more then 100 links are discovered on a page. Your site shows 103 links. I have recommended to SEOmoz they adjust the tool to allow users to adjust the link count warning to a user-selectable number. Hopefully that feature will be implemented.

A small note. The copyright date for your site shows as 2008. I would recommend adjusting it to 2012.

I see you have canonicals in place Gotta love Magento

Ryan's right - nofollow wouldn't change the warning, and it's not effective for link-sculpting anymore. I wouldn't use it on main navigation links. 100 links is just a rule of thumb - it's a balancing act:

I have same problem. Crawl diagnostic (seomoz) show me  Too Many On-Page Links: 2569. But webpage kabelky.eu is e-shop, so we have many products - each one is link.

Is this big problem. Does Google know, that we are e-shop with many products? What can we do?

Also we have problem with duplicate page title, because on this links with parameters:

http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/

http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/?d=a

http://www.kabelky.eu/cz/aktovky-etue/panske-aktovky-a-etue/?d=a&of=12 ... etc..

have same title

We added canonicals to all these page, but I'm not sure it's fine solution.

Thanks for help in advance..

2569 links is far too many, and is likely a very big problem both for your users and SEO. You have more links then the New York Times.

Ask yourself this question....if you had to reduce your total number of links to less then 100, what would you do?

You can likely use category pages for your products and only link to the category pages from the navigation.
