Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi James While I fully disclose I'm not intimately familiar with the ins and outs of responsive, I do believe that instead of CSS hiding/showing the same links but having them repeated three times in the HTML, ideally the links would be in the HTML once, and CSS would take care of just restyling them based upon the screen size. But with that said, Google does not mind so much about the "too many links on a page" situation. They are good enough now to likely figure out what is going on with your menu, and will try to take that into account when assessing the page, and when assigning PageRank through each link. So while it would be 100% perfect to not repeat every link it's still something that's not going to be detrimental if you had to leave it that way. The only exception to that I think, would be if this is a super large site (like 100,000+ pages) but I don't get the impression this site is quite that big -Dan

Hey James, Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion. Unfortunately, we are currently only able to provide Bing search volume because Google does not allow us access to their AdWords API. The search engine you select will be used to provide you with the top sites that are ranking for the keyword you are research, so you will see results ranking results for Google when you choose that search engine but you will only ever see Bing search volume. The search volume is not used to calculate the keyword difficulty score and it is just used to provide supplemental information about how many users may be search a particular term in general. I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Chiaryn Help Team Ninja

For what it's worth and to update my previous response, see this from Search Engine Land. I think the URL is self-explanatory: http://searchengineland.com/links-from-press-releases-do-have-ranking-benefit-despite-what-google-says-145139

I ran some tests last night... looks like it's back up!

Agreed. I've passed this to the devs. You've been most helpful today - Thanks for your time, very much appreciated. J

Hi James, just following up on older questions here, wondering if you can share any feedback with us. Thanks!
