      On my campaign for www.fourcolormagnets.com one of my warnings was "too many on-page links". Is there any thing to do for ecommerce sites? and also, my page www.fourcolormagnets.com/rectangle-sizes.php is listed as having 744 links but, I count nowhere near that number. And idea where this comes from?

        I run e-commerce site. You shouldn't worry as all e-commerce the same. Just be careful not to have spammy links and only have links that are relevant to your website.

        The second link for me shows over 200 items correct? Each items I can see 3 links attacted. 1 on the image, 1 on the View button and 1 on the item Title. So there is close if not over 600 links in iteself. Then factor in your head and footer links, plus your filter links. You close to 700.

          I think my site has 3000+ links but only 500 seem to show, it's so confusing and annoying.

            Hello JH,

            The "100 links" rule doesn't really apply these days, and I'd personally remove that from the SEOmoz report if it were up to me, but some people still like to see it. I wouldn't worry about it, though you may want to focus on more important and higher ROI issues like getting a couple sentences of useful, static content on category pages.
