Is there Page Link Counter software?

[Rubix]

Hi,

I receive more than 100 links error and when i count the links, it is not even 100. I'd like to know how 100 links are counted. I was wondering if anyone can suggest me a tool and method that can help me to count links.

Thank you

Aside from using the tools here you can use screaming frog spider SEO it will analyze 500 pages for free

Internet marketing ninjas also has some fantastic tools at InternetmarketingNinjas.com/tools scan site with the first tool and you can have a check for up to 1000 pages

Hi Sida,

Are you talking about backlinks? If so just use opensite explorer, Majestic SEO or Ahrefs. Or just good old Google Webmaster Tools (links to your site). If you are talking about website links, you can use internal link analysis software like Xenu link sleuth.

I think Screaming frog shows backlinks and internal links but not onpage links.  My questions is for '' Over 100Links Error'  Google recommends to have less than 100 links and on Moz reports, this comes up as an error.  More info is here: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-many-links-per-page/

I need to know how many links i actually have the on the page so i can remove them.

Screaming Frog differentiates this with Outlinks (onpage links pointing to another resource on your site) and External Outlinks (onpage links pointing to another domain).

Does that help?

Easy - View the page source:

• in Chrome or firefox : right click then select "View page source"
• In Internet explorer : Download Chrome, then... only kidding - Right-click then select "View Source"

See how many times the string href appears in the text - those are the links.  The quickest way is often to cut and paste the source in to something like word then do a search and replace.  It'll tell you how many it removed.

However - don't focus too much on that "error".  It is absolutely fine to have more than 100 links on a page - as long as they are all needed.  Modern navigation often has more than this and does it in a way that is usable and search friendly. Personally I think that Moz.com tool should be updated to stop so many people worrying about this.

The problem used to be that Google would stop following them after 100, but that is no longer the case.  It can sometimes be an issue in that it creates a lot of code that adds to download times, but that is a tenuous link really.

Thank you everyone and Matt, I agree Moz should have an option to click on that error 'ignore' or 'fixed' so it doesn't worry us.
