I am assuming these are navigation links.
(I might link out to 3 or 4 helpful sites and I also have images from my Media Library and some links to banner advertising but nothing approaching 100 outbound links)
My navigation is a mess but I only show the categories, not all the posts (but each category has a post count, so maybe that is it)
Anyway, how do I fix something like that? Unless I delete a bunch of posts.
Wouldn’t the solution require me to change site architecture?
Right now it is:
Index > All Posts
would going to
Index > Category > Posts
fix it.
Or is there a better way. I certainly hope so.
Thanks for considering this question
]]>What is doing this analysis.
]]>View Info
on your home page, and copied the links, then pasted into an editor. There are 91 on your home page. Most are internal (menu, sidebar, on the page), but some are to www.ads-software.com, social media, theme site, clickbank, linksynergy.
I would say that Yes, you have too many links (at least on the home page). It improves SEO to focus, and that is not focused. I would declutter and simplify.
]]>was one of the site I used.
How do i simplify? is changing the directory structure the only way?
]]>Is there a way to make the “Category” widget that goes in the sidebar only link to categories and not the posts in those categories too. THat would reduce the outgoing link count
Is there a way to create a menu out of only categories and then use Custom HTML in a sidebar widget that would only link to categories. I have already done that but I don’t like the Main, Top, or Footer locations.
I also ran a check when using a Menu with just categories, the 2 pages I checked all came back with under 100 URLs. So it looks like that is good.
Any ideas on how to get my newly created, category only, menu into the sidebar where I want it.

I also have an off-topic (sort of) question. Nowadays it seem everyone has a browser plugin so they can post to multiple social channels at once, do you think having bookmarking icons on my site is important. They are also java script or something and I get dinged for them when doing page load speed tests.
I am thinking I should get rid of them, unless you have a different opinion.
