The text “link” is repeating too many times on my frontpage, once with each article under ja side news – where can I remove the text “link” the href which uses it does not seem to be needed since it is repeated.

here is an example from on article in the ja side news section:

<ul class=”action”><li class=”icon-link”><a href=”/school/159-gen/1964-school-crafts.html”>Link</a></li></ul></div> <a class=”ja-title” href=”/school/159-gen/1964-school-crafts.html”>Back to School Crafts</a><div class=”article-intro”>Get ready for school with these fun back to school crafts!Back to School crafts are an easy way for kids to gear up for a great school year.Back to School Crafts and School Lunch Ideas:Back Pack Name Tag -Locker Magnets – Locker Mirrors -&nbs…</div>

Hi there,

Could you provide us with a good screenshot with the described scenario as well as URL address of such a page?

Not sure what you mean by “repeated.” :confused:

in ja side news every items has the word “link” ( see below and in sample above) then the url repeats with the article title. To reproduce go to http://www.familiesonlinemagazine.com and look at page source. No way to give you a screen shot unless you want a screen shot of page source?

<li class=”icon-link”><a href=”/section/anyurl.html”>Link</a></li>

Hi there,

I think I see what you meant now:

I can see the term “Link” spread in your HTML source code for the front page now but I don’t see a reason to be concerned over it.

Firstly, this word “Link” doesn’t get displayed on your web-site, and, secondly, Google doesn’t display anything resembling it on its SERP pages:

neither on your front page:

nor on other internal pages it picked up to date:

If you deminimise your HTML source code, it will help us to see what is at play on your site that may cause this “Link” to appear. Also, feel free to PM me your Joomla back end Super User credentials to have a look around your system itself directly.

Regards,

Alex

Hi there,

Please cancel my call for PMing me your Joomla back end access credentials, I just found them in your opening post. Apology.

Regards,

Alex

Hi there,

The word “Link” you’ve found in your front page HTML source code is hardcoded in /templates/ja_puresite/html/mod_jasidenews/default.php and /templates/ja_puresite/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php:

It serves to ensure that the little icon in a form of three connected chain links

as a hyperlink to your articles

<li class=”icon-link”><a href=”<?php echo $item->link; ?>”>Link</a></li>

would not violate HTML standards and would not remain empty, like in case of <a href=”link_to_your_article.html”></a>.

This feature of popping-up little icon with an image of three little chain links, which creates the word “Link” in you HTML source code, works only for your front page. Theoretically, if we assume that your front page meta description would be left empty, there is a slight chance that Google or any other SE would pick up this “Link” word from your HTML code and display it your front page description in its SERP, but, firstly, such chance is very very slim even is such a case, and secondly, your front page mata data is obviously well taken care off:

So, all in all, I do feel this word “Link” showing up in your front page HTML source code, is not a cause for concern.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Alex
