So let me ask just so I am sure. The 100 links guideline has apparently been removed by Google but one shouldn't stuff a page with links or it may come off as a link farm. Outbound links should be minimized as the Google PR gets divided by the number of outbound links? Or was he narrator in the video referring to amount of link "juice" you're giving to another site based on the total number of outbound links?

Optimum Number of Links on Any Given Page
One of the guidelines you provide stipulates:
"You should avoid having too many (roughly defined as more than 100) hyperlinks on any given page. When search engine spiders crawl the Internet they are limited by technology resources and are only able to crawl a certain number of links per webpage. In addition, search engine algorithms divide the value of some popularity metrics by the amount of links on a given page. This means that each of the pages being linked to from a given page are also affected by the number of links on the linking page. For these reasons, we recommend you include less than 100 links per page to ensure that they are all crawled, though if your pages have a high page authority, search engines will usually follow more links."
As far as these 100 links are concerned, is this in reference to ALL links including outbound, internal, etc? Or is this referring to only outbound links to other sites?
