Google\u2019s Matt Cutts posted a video explaining why Google no longer has that 100-links-per-page Webmaster guideline.<\/p>\n
In fact, the guideline was dropped well before 2008, but SEOs and webmasters still think having over 100 links on a page is something that may lead to a penalty.<\/p>\n
The truth is: no, it won\u2019t. Sites like Techmeme likely has thousands of links on their home page, and they are not penalized by Google.<\/p>\n
That being said, Google said if a site looks to be spammy and has way too many links on a single page \u2014 Google reserves the right to take action on the site.<\/p>\n
Matt also explained that your PageRank is divided by the number of links on a page. So if page A links to page B, C and D, that PageRank is split into three. If you have hundreds of links, it is divided by hundreds, and so forth.<\/p>\n
