Is 50,000 links too many?

    I came across a page on "about.com" with 50,000 links!
    "http://spiderbites.about.com/aboutexperts1.htm"

    I know there's a trend to "link heavy" pages, but 50,000 links?

    Does that actually do anything good for them? Or does googlebot just quit at some point?

    Ordinarily, I would assume that the spammers at About.com know what they are doing.

    This page appears to be a sitemap type page -- a page that just exists to get About.com content indexed better.

    It has a PageRank of 6, which is very nice for a sitemap.

    Those are all internal links.

    Well, sort of... they are "internal" to the About.com spam network, but the domain is different.

    About.com seems to be immune from penalization.

    That page is just ridiculous. Google need to be penalising pages just like that.

    although its an internal links i dont consider that as a sitemap.. not well structured, huge links list and not descriptive. its a link farm. maybe its auto generated so it will help newly created page to get indexed on search engine.

    Seems like a simple sitemap for search engines...I see nothing wrong with it.
