      Hi,

      I'm running a wordpress blog (modhop.com) and am getting the "too many links" on almost all of my pages. It appears that in addition to basic site navigation I have plug-ins that create invisible links that are counted in the crawl...at least that's my guess.

      Is there a good way to control this in wordpress? A nofollow in the .htaccess? A plug-in that does this? (I'm sort of at novice-plus level here so the simplest solution is ideal.)

      Thanks!

      Jake

        First off, your site takes years to load, I would look into that. I'm pulling up other sites just fine but yours is being really slow for me. I believe it is either your theme or a plugin/widget in your sidebar generating ludicrous amounts of code.

        Under video reviews on your right sidebar, click on anything that has a right-pointing arrow. More categories appear, some with arrows. Click on any with right-pointing arrows so that they expand and the arrows are pointing down. Keep doing this and you will expand a huge navigation of links that is all collapsed and not visible until you open it up by clicking on it.

        I don't know if it is your theme or a plugin/widget doing this, but it is generating a massive chunk of code to do it that sure ain't pretty. I would make sure you don't link to every post on every page with your navigation like is happening now, that's why its probably telling you there are too many links per page.

          Absolutely agree that site navigation is an issue. Not really great for visitors of SEs. I would look at a new theme with better navigation.

            I could certainly clean up the widgets. The navigation thing is tough though. I want very detailed nav similar to say "seatguru.com" that has multi-category dropdown. Took me forever to find a plug that does it the way I want but I'm sure there's another (better) option. Just have to figure it out.

            Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.
