how many maximum outbound links from a particular web page

Hi,
Let me know , how many maximum outbound links from a particular web page.
My web site is http://www.website-submission-optimization.com , if I add more than 50 articles links on my home page at bottom, then what affect on my website rankings will I get. According to hiltop algorithm, I will get benefit or not

Google say you should have a maximum of 100 outbound links on a page.
But dumping 50 links at the bottom of the page will more that likely get them ignored by google altogether. They will see it as a bit spammy and not something you have done for users.

As a matter of interest where/when did Google say this?

BTW, if that 100 limit is true, then iwebtools have there problem on this forum with many pages have well over 100. These two here for starters.

In their webmaster guidelines

Quote:

Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).

I believe keeping the links under 100 is to ensure good ranking is passed onto the links. If you have more than 100 links, passing rank may be a problem.

Actual Google wording is this.

Quote:

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.

So they are not saying don't have it. But pointing out that more links equals less value passed out to the linked pages.

They aren't saying that. That is what you are assuming they mean.
Just read the words they write there's no need to try and read between the lines.

Note it says 100 or so. It also says you may want to

What am I missing

That's when they are talking about a sitemaps which would link to internal pages.
When they are talking about external links they say "Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100)".

Yes, I now see what you mean.

Does this 100 limit apply to outbound links only (going out of the domain the page is on) or for a maximiumm of 100 links on any page?

stOx · 10-18-2006, 01:40 AM

the limit applies to total links on a page, inbound and outbound.
