      The Moz crawl warns me many of my pages have too many links, like this page

      http://www.webjobz.com/jobs/industry/Accounting    ...... has 269 links

      but many of the links are like this /jobs/jobtitles/Accounting?k=&w=3&hiddenLocationID=463170&depth=2 and are used to refine search criteria.... when you click on those links they all have a canonical link back to http://www.webjobz.com/jobs/industry/Accounting

      Is my page being punished for this? Do I have to put "no follow" tags on every link I do not want the bots to follow and if I do so is Roger (moz bot) not going to count this as a link?

        Webjobz,

        The crawl diagnostics summary warning for too many links occurs at 100 links on the page and is based on this info: http://moz.com/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many.  You're not likely to be penalized but there is science behind the number so you should look to be more frugal with the number of followed links on your page.

        • If I have too many on-page links can I reduce it with nofollow tags or do the links have to be removed?
