Too many links?

[PaulineMagnusson]

Hello!  I've just started with SEOmoz, and am getting an error about too many links on a few of my blog posts - it's pages with high numbers of comments, and the links are coming from each commenter's profile (hopefully that makes sense they're not just random stuffed links).  Is there a way to help this not cause a problem?  Thanks!

You can remove all commenter links entirely, although that may not be an ideal solution. Alternatively, with a bit of PHP code you can make it so that the top 20 comments can have links, but the latter ones don't link to the commenter's profile. You can also use a 3rd party comment platform like Facebook comments or Livefyre which don't load comments until the user scrolls.

Unless you're talking about hundreds of links, though, it's probably not that big of a deal.

Hi Pauline

I'd agree with Takeshi - likely not a big deal at all. As long as the links are not spam (people trying to link to their products or services) you should be totally fine and don't even think you need to do anything else.

Moz will report those things, but in some outlying situations like that, they are not a concern.
