    Hi All,

    If Google recommends under 100 links per page, are nofollow links included in this count?

    Thanks,

    I don't think so, their idea to have less than 100 links is for better crawling and indexing of these pages. If your links have the nofollow tag they simply won't be followed by the spiders, neither indexed, so I think it doesn't matter how many "nofollow" links you will have on a particular page.

    However, I have a site, which home page has more than 100 links to internal pages (for easier navigation from the visitors) and they are all indexed and with pretty good rankings...still they are less then 150!

    The sites in my sig rank high in Yahoo for certain keywords, but suck in Google. I'm trying to figure out why. I was trying to go the "reduce links" route, but wanted to check with the DP public.
