How Many Links per Page?

[ResaleBroker]

Keep the TOTAL linksto 100, remember you also have navigation links on your links pages. So if you have 85 nav links than only, relatively, 15 reciprocal links will get any credit...

Please elaborate.

You really like elaboration Google says 100 links. You have 50 nav links there goes 50 links. You have 10 nav links, you could potentially have 90 link partners (though I wouldnt and I would bet it wouldnt help 50% of those people), now does a spider think that way? Not really, but the idea is that the main body of the page is going to have a bulk of your link partners.

Again I try to keep my pages to 40 or under (most are 20 and under), I would go to 50 if absolutely pushed, but usually I just create a new on topic page instead. Going back to my other response, why would I link with someone that isnt at least offering the same quality link that I am? My "link" pages actually rank on Google and I pass traffic. How many other sites can say that?

Personally, I don't really keep track (but my pages are pretty small), but I do know that if you were to make each "links" page a themed links pages (i.e. Mortgage-lenders.html) and kept the level of links on that page to be something rather useful to anyone actually reading it... say 20-40 - or whatever, it will make your pages better for users and often that makes thigns better for the SE s.... It's fairly easy to make a NEW links page a few days or weeks before it's needed...

That's how mine are exactly Some of them are there not for exchange, but for use just for my users. All outgoing links only

hi folks,

the more important thinggie - my opinion - is how many links per external page,
the internal pages did not count actually...

...the internal pages did not count actually...

Can you clarify or explain further?

And also remember that many people are completely turned off to come across a site that inundates the eye with blue underlined phrases. It's overwhelming. I agree with the previous posts, keep the main page links to a safe minimum and add other pertinent links to topic pages.

I think he is talking about the number of outgoing links from the page that has a link to your page.

I have been in several discussions regarding the number of links. I no longer believe the actual number, as long as reasonable, matters. The critical factor is what I call the "interplay" between the linking page and the linked page." Google most likely uses a rating scale from negative to highly positive. Some examples, a link farm would be in the negative column, a state, or partner directory in a neutral column while an authority site in the highly positive column.

I was hoping that wasn't what he meant.

Because you and I have had discussions before on the subject I understand where you are coming from in regards to "interplay" and for the most part I think we agree.

IMO, the number of links on a page "is" a factor. My opinion is based on my interpretation of Google's TrustRank.
