i@german seo Thanks a lot for your reply. Much appreciated.
2) about 90% of the comments don't have an external link.
3) this is done by yoast. I just checked with the one from seobook.com and the highest density for a one word keyword is 1.41%.
I run the site through siteliner.com and the results are:
Internal Links per Page
The internal links per page for your site is 35. The median for all other sites is 26.
The internal links per page for your site is more than 61% of all other sites.
External Links per Page
The external links per page for your site is 10. The median for all other sites is 5.
The external links per page for your site is more than 73% of all other sites.
I only use a max. of 3 aff links within the content and then I also have 2-6 outbound links to resources (like other authority sites in that niche).
4) I don't have external links in my images. When I have a link in an image, then it's a link to the media page, but not an external link. I would say, that about 85% - 90% of the images I use don't have any link at all.
5) I checked that for 2017-01-01 until march 6, the day before the site got hit. The sessions under 10 seconds is at 48.05% and for the year 2016, it was at 47.16%.
I saw, that I got some dup content when I run the site through siteliner. I'll change that, and hopefully, it will help.
Should I disavow links or should I better leave them as they are and start building some new ones?
