      I manualy counted the links on my website http://www.commensus.com which came to around 50, but SEO moz says I have over 100 and google isn't seeing them all.

        I get 73 by putting it into http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/lynx/lynx_viewer.php

        This attempts to replicate what search engines see when they visit your page.

        I get 85 on a manual count (add this links etc) and there's probably a few others that are actually duplicated within the same section (titles and image both clicking to the same place for example).

        And I get bang on 100 if count the number of href's in your code (include style sheets etc).

        So I would assume the SEOmoz tool is pretty much right in what it's telling you.

        However, don't worry too much about having a little over 100 as it's not a hard and fast rule. Check this video out from Matt Cutts - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6g5hoBYlf0

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