100+ links on a page, does it even matter anymore?

    Does it effect anything at all anymore for google? Does it effect anything? For example, look at DP forums it has like 800 links on the forum home page. Those myspace sites have like 100+ links running on the side of their site and they get like 40k visitors per day most of it organic.

    IMO, I don't think it matters anymore how many links you have. Going over 100 links as long as it's legit shouldn't be a problem right?

    This is a good question . In my opinion , it is fine . on certain websites, it may look a bit spammy.

    I think it depends on where the links are from, if they link back, the anchor text you use and the authority of the site (in your niche) also how fast you gain such links.

    I read recently that google not only checks the quality of the sites linking to you, but also checks the sites content versus your anchor text

    I personally wouldn't ad more than 5 links a day. maybe someone else can shed more light on this for us

    It's all relative. DP has thousands of pages, so adding 100's links is a drop in the bucket percentage wise.

    It is having 800 links to the same domain itself and it is not said to be outgoing! same with myspace...I hope you get point from the ans. Internal linking doen't affect much to the PR, but that linking should be also proper and smart!

    If you have a page with very less incoming link, then 100 outgoing sure looks very odd. In which case, DP and myspace cannot be used as a yardstick here.

    Those are internal links, which is very good in term of spider view.

    internal link - link that points to relative pages of your website
    outbound link - link that points away from your website
    backlink - incoming link from external sources to your website

    Hope this help. :)

    So you're saying it don't matter for inbound links and the 100 link rule is only for outbound link?

    Thanks for that answer....I was also worried that my page had 101 links...but more than half of it were internal links....so I guess it is OK..

    Quality BL always good for PR, 100 links is not problem and also this will give some PR to the site. If do not give means ur link or site have some problem with Google

    As of my understanding on your question here is my answer,

    Google will see only 100 links from a single web page and the rest will be skipped. However this rule is not for everyone. If we assume wikipedia the above rule doesn't apply for them and so as dp.

    So its Google who decide whether or not to crawl more than 100 links from a page.

    Hope this helps.

    Say you got a PR 7 on your page. And you are passing some Link Juice to some external links like 10 of them. Your site has been doing this for like 2 years. 10 links always at the bottom of the page that says "Friends" or something. Then you decide to remove those external links and don't have any external links at all.

    Would your inner pages get a higher PR from your home page that has a PR 7? Because more "Juice" would go to it? Assuming you link to your 2 level pages or whatever from your home page.

    I had read an authoritative article , it has a math model to calculate .
    It is better to keep the link count in a page less than 100 .
    You can't compare the large site with sites of middle and small size.

    I have a site where some pages have over a thousand internal links to other pages on the same site - all the links were generated from a database. When the site was new, it was these types of pages (hundred or thousands of links to other pages) which got PR first.

    It depends what you ae trying to do. On an ecommerce site where you are trying to rank individual products I'd say it is very important to keep it well under 100

    Why would you link to 100+ pages, focus more on your inner linking structure and don't waste PR every where !

    I have a site that has several hundred thousand pages. It has over 300 links on the home page to support the site drill down structure. It ranks #1 for the main keyword in it's niche and many of the 2nd level pages rank in the top 10 for their main keywords. So from my experience the number of links on a page don't matter as much as the links coming in and of course the content on the page.
