urls on the home pages

I know that some search engines have problem with more then 100 url on a page, is this case with google too? what will happen?

Thanks

 

In my opinion, the most likely thing to happen, is them considering it to be a link farm, and penalizing you.

 

Nonsense!!! Having said that, look at all the pages of w3c and you'll know that is a foney baloney full of pepperoni. Link farms don't have any actual contents. they are purely unrelated links and nothing else on the page.

 

Google recommends 100 or so links. You can see it on their recommendations on the help page:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769
It is the 2nd point (for sitemaps) and the last point for general pages under Design and Content Guidelines.

 

Link farms are site that fill their page with unrelated links. (Especially junks)

 

Most of their links are internal navigation links. I doubt Google would penalize for navigation links. That would only occur for external links.

 

I've seen a number of documents. CSS home page got more than 200 external links and it's still pr9 (one of the links is mine )

 

I don't think having 200 will get you penalized but I think what Google recommends is what their robots can easily crawl. I'm not sure why 100+ or even 200 would cause Gbot a problem though.

 

100 is big number why do you need 100+ link on a page?

 

well on directories and social networking i got over 200, even on my MMOG portal i have 80. This is not good, but i can reduce my content, external links

 

The spider will time out at some point over 100 links on the page.

 

Even if you need this amount of links try to keep it internal links as much as you can, 100 Links !

 

i think SE bots are lazy, that's why it is recommended less page size, use css to eliminate not so important codes for bots. too many links on a page may not recommendable (specially those considered link farms), google bots are so busy so lesser links on page the better to ensure links are all crawled...

 

The best strategy to post or sell links on your site is - Internal pages.

Your site has a lot of pages, may be hundreds or more ..
Place these links on internal pages. It will harm your site less

 

yeah my bad, cause the script with i was checking my sites, checks all the "hrefs" i dont have over 100 external links on my front page, is pretty hard to do that unless u are link farm, but 260 "hrefs" yes i have, strange but it seems i have, probably that script blows...

 

I think that Google does count more than 100 links if it is links to inner pages of the same site.
If its 100 links to other sites, that is another question.

 

Build a sitemap to help the bots.
