Dear All, I would like to know your openion on one of the Google Webmaster's guideline point: "Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100)" Does Google counts/includes nofolow link or would they excluded??? For example I have 120 links on a page and 40 of them are marked with nofolow, so what Google consider it? As per logic they should have to consider 80 link. I will appreciate your help in this regard!
Google don't count nofollow'ed links. Personally I wouldn't place more than 30 outbound links on a page.
Dear Richie, Thanks very much for your comments. Well, I also don't use too much links on a page but some time its happen at some places like sitemap or product listing pages.
I didn't mentioned either links are internal or external neither Google mentioned it. Infact Google clearly mentioned separately that: "Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages." Well, I am helpless to clear your doubt that how professional I am
I agree with Richie_Ni, google doesn't count nofollow links. It is always best to keep the number of outbound links to a minimum though. The more outbound links you have the more chances you'll lose visitors to them.
