To many on page links?

You Know sometimes you have to go with what you feel is right, the only way to stop that message is have those links in a drop down Java script menu, or jquery

I think that Google and the other search engines in the past would only crawl so many of those on page links so on page tools were designed in regard to that and give warnings if too many on page links were found, however these days they do go a lot further into your site than they once did

In Notice your Page Rank runs completely through your site so you know the navigation part of the site is just fine and those pages are being visited, so really unless you wanted some kind of dropdown box or Java enabled links menu (you know the menus that only appear when you click on the category) link in these examples http://apycom.com/  but would result in a full site redevelopment

HI,

I assume the too many links per page is generated by your SEO MOZ account ? (as Paul said something different.. i think).

Anyway - teh SEO moz too many links per page is a warning, a suggestion not a strict rule.

Again like Paul said in the past there was a limit: 100 links per page. But that was a technical limit that is no longer in effect.

Here are some good resources about this that for sure will bring some light in how you see this:

Bottom line is that you can have as many links as you want if those links really make sense - not sense from an SEO point if view - but from the UX stand point. DOmain and page authority are also important in this discussion - higher the authority, higher the possible links per page with no real issue.

That was general - hope it helps.

Getting "dirty" with the links you've mention a few outside suggestions:

• there are too many links vs general content on the page. (that's one thing that poped out)

• footer looks kind of spammy - a lot of links with no images, content, pictures anything else - just a a collection of links. For a normal user it will be hard to navigate. Do you track clicks on those links ? It's probably a very low number. This large footer is boiler plate - no way in h... that is is relevant for all pages of the site. So that means those links could be devaluated anyway but you still lose the overall page rank flow.

Why not craft those links per categories or areas or even customary for pages - to build a funnel for your visitor.

• the site is clean, crisp but to hard to navigate (just my opinion ) so probably your CTR all around is not that good.

• At least hide with slides some of the links to make a better experience and forget about the warning. But do track if someone is expanding those slides and click on those links - if not, you can just remove those and save the day. By slideing some of the links in, overall you will have a more compact design,  a better UX and everyone is happy. At the end if you will decide to cut them for good - even better, you save some PR to send to more important inner pages...

Hope it helps..
