Lists of Product Links: What is good, what is bad?

[mparry9]

I am a web designer but a bit of an SEO noob (trying to get better at both).

I am working with one particular client on a site I inherited with existing structure.  This client has about 10 products on 2 pages.  On every page there is a product list that is basically the same list sorted in 2 ways: 1st by product, 2nd by usage.  These all link to internal anchors so this might be an example on www.site.com

Cleaner X1 - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x1
Cleaner X2 - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x2
Cleaner X3 - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x3
...
Cleaner For Brick - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x1
Cleaner For Marble - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x2
Cleaner For Stone - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x3

Obviously this adds about 20 links on every page on the site (including the actual pages these products are on).

What are your thoughts on this?  Good idea or bad to have on the site?  Should I remove the redundant links on the actual page that product falls on...or is this bad and should be removed altogether?

Internal links are helpful if you have additional or associated content you want to link to the core content. This adds relevance value. It makes sense. Internal links that dont provide that have no value and can create issues with Google.

In your example above I would be more worried about duplicate content issues if you have the same stuff on several different pages and just sorted it in a different way and then all linked together. Google will see this as duplicate content....
