      I run an ecommerce site with close to 2000 products. Nearly every page in the catalog has a too many on-page links error because of the navigation sidebar, which has several flyout layers of nested links. What can/should I do about this? Will it affect my rankings at all?

      Thanks

        Are they nofollowed?

          They are not nofollowed. The sidebar is automatically generated by the shopping cart so I'm not sure if I can nofollow them.

            Remember that a Warning is just that, a "Warning". This doesn't  necessarily mean that you are doing something wrong. It just means that you should be aware of a "possible' issue. If your navigation is intended to help visitors navigate your site and facilitates finding products, then I wouldn't worry about the warnings. If you have such a large navigation just for the purpose of stuffing keywords, then I would reconsider the strategy.
