Explain me the SEO impact when a website has more internal link compared to less internal links
-
A website that I am working on has more than 200 internal links (Its because of the design and various kind of service that we offer).
I want to know its SEO impact.
I also want to know the SEO impact when a website has less internal links compared to more internal links

Thanks Julian for clarifying...

I dont think it's a critical issue either way.
If the links are there for natural reasons, e.g. good user navigation then 200 links can be helpful. It gets you were you want to be more quickly then a waterfall type of nav.
E.g the Dailymail.co.uk homepage is massive, 900+ links on its homepage according to: http://linkcounter.submitexpress.com/
And no one can tell me that the dailymail.co.uk doesnt rank well, according to alexa it's the 133rd most popular site in the world.
In theory less links on the homepage means that more link juice is sent from the homepage to each page you link to, so if you only have 100 pages you want to rank, there is not point in having 200 links on the homepage, e.g. remove links to external sites, facebook, and put links to less important pages, e.g. jobs, team, etc on a single "about us" page. etc.

Images on Website for SEO
Good Morning, We have a magento website with hundreds of different products that have slight size variations. The image for each of these products looks the same (the only difference between the products is some of the dimensions) .... Would you recommend using the same image for each of these products and just use a generic file name that describes the overall product or would you give each product its own image with it's specific product name as the file name? Should I use 1 image for 500 different sku's or should i rename the file the name of each individual sku and load an individual image? The end user will not know the difference since all of the images will appear identical, simply asking from an SEO perspective. Thanks

How Does Dynamic Content for a Specific URL Impact SEO?
Example URL: http://www.sja.ca/English/Community-Services/Pages/Therapy Dog Services/default.aspx The above page is generated dynamically depending on what province the visitor visits from. For example, a visitor from BC would see something quite different than a visitor from Nova Scotia; the intent is that the information shown should be relevant to the user of that province. How does this effect SEO? How (or from what location) does Googlebot decide to crawl the page? I have considered a subdirectory for each province, though that comes with its challenges as well. One such challenge is duplicate content when different provinces may have the same information for some pages. Any suggestions for this?

Ranking Internationally
Whats the best URL strategy to rank for one term in different countries? We currently rank well in Australia, but are tackling many countries over the next few months. The page I am ranking is http://www.spendbitcoins.com/buy for the term 'buy bitcoins' or 'buy bitcoins in Australia' (replace Australia with each specific country, i.e. New Zealand, Japan, etc.) These are the strategies I have come up with, is one of these good or is there a different better way? Use country specific TLDs, pulling the content from the same site w/ translations Use country specific TLDs and create separate sites and create completely original content Use country specific TLDs, forwarding to the primary domain use a subdomain from the same site modify the page link to be something like spendbitcoins.com/buy/new-zealand Don't worry about any of this and just get links from sites with the proper TLD

Too Many On Page LInk
The analysis of my site is showing that I have a problem with too many on-page links. Most of this is due to our menu, and wanting users to be able to quickly get to the shopping category they are looking for. We end up with over 200 links in order to get the menu we want. How are other people dealing with a robust menu, but avoiding getting dinged for too many links? One of our pages in question is: http://www.milosport.com/category/2176-snowboards.aspx
