To many links on page and penguin

[cbielich]

Could to many links on to many pages be a factor that the penguin update would effect your site. I know this is a broad question , but I am curious what people think.

My Friends, asked me to remove tag widgets, recent post, recent comments. to reduce the number of on-page links.

Even when you noticed, some article has a thumbnail + title + read more = 3 same links to a source in a page.
so if you have 10 recent post - you will have 10*3 Links apart from sidebar links and navigation links. totally 30 links with 20 links duplicate !

These are my idea and these are changes i made in my blog. personal opinion. I am also looking for other experts to answer here ! But you can check my blog with the original theme function !

Hi Cesar,

Could be, yes. But it's not the number of links on the number of pages, but rather the quality & nature of those links and pages that matter more.

If it's lot's of low quality, exact match anchor text on lots of questionable sites, then definitely.

On the other hand, if you're only talking about the sheer number of links on your own pages, I haven't seen any evidence of this causing Penguin problems. On the other hand, if you have a ton of internal, heavily optimized links, it's easy to overdo it. How many links are too many?

Cesar,

I don't think that it would hurt your site but minimizing your on page links could help your site's SEO performance. For example, if page x was a PR5 and it had only 3 links to internal pages on your site it will be passing much more value to these three pages than if page x was a PR5 and had 40 links pointing to different internal pages.

My suggestion is to have a focused SEO strategy with focused keywords that you are targeting.

Hopefully this helps.

These are all links to pages on my site, not external

Thank you for the Link ! Mr.Cyrus ! I have decreased the Links, but what is heavily optimized one ?

Generally keep your eyes open for sitewide links, keyword-rich commercial anchor text, out-of-context links (like a link for laundry soap on an auto blog) and anything that you couldn't defend to Matt Cutts.
