Too many links on home page
-
SEOmoz crawl states I have 3 pages with too many links. My sites are hosted on Yahoo small business. One page they state is too long is the home page/ind. with 600 links to each page on the web site ( I think).
Is this really a problem and how do I fix it?
The other two pages are product categories that link to the products under the main product type. What I do not understand is that we have many larger product categories that SEOmoz crawl is not stating too many.

I am no expert but I personally think this amount of links on a page is quite bad.
We have a couple of pages that go over the suggested amount but we are not worrying.
Maybe try and cut down the amount of links on the main homepage?

Normally, a good practice is to have no more than 100 links per page, otherwise it might be seen by some search engines (Google) as an overly agressive internal linking strategy.
SEOMoz initial crawl is just "initial", this means a deeper crawl will be performed next week end every week you will get a deeper understanding of the issues on the website.
Hope I am being clear enough
