Too Many On Page LInk

[dantheriver]

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

Bing will only allow 250 links

Every link passes 85% of its link juice, not 100%, this is so that we dont get internal loops. but even passing only 85% means that you will always have 85% of somthing to pass on no matter how small, so there must be a cutt off at some point where links no longer pass anything. if you have say thousonds of links, then each link may not get enouth to make the cutt off, and the page will pass nothing

Hi Dan,

I have seen this question a few times, and Matt Cutts even took a stab at answering it.

I'll cut to the quick and then give you a link if you want to follow up about the information I am providing. The notion of 100 links per page started years back when Google and other Search Engines didn't have the ability / power to follow all the links, they instead just suggested, to ensure sites get proper attention limit yourself to about 100 links per page. Nowadays search engines can follow kabillion links, but keep in mind the more links a page has the less juice each one is worth. So the rule while not set in stone still seems to apply.

The truth is having more then 100 links is okay.. but be aware of the above information.
