      Hello All,

      I have just started using SEO moz.

      I had one quick question i would like answered.

      Currently  SEOmoz is telling me that there are too many internal links.

      The recommendation is 100 links per page but the majority of my pages have 125+ links

      Will this effect the page when its crawled?

      Look forward to your comments.

      Thanks in advance

        In general the fewer links you have, the more PageRank your site will pass to each of those links. The 100 links per page rule is a general guideline: if you really need to have more to provide the best user experience, then you should go ahead and use more. However, if you can possibly have less, then you want to have less, even less than 100. SEOmoz, for example, has about 75 links on their home page.

        Either way, you will not incur any kind of ranking penalty, and it will not hurt the indexation of your site.

        The only difference is the pages that you are linking to will get slightly less link juice out of it.

          I agree with this... Just wanted to add that if you do have to use a ton of links you can always add a bunch of content around it. Google looks at percentage, how many links does a page have versus how much content.

          Content to keyword ratio should be around 10%

            Dr. Pete has a good post on this 100 links guideline at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many that should help you out, too.

              It depends on the size of the site. As long as it is reasonable, would not worry too much about it.

                Hi, sometimes it's very difficult to find and reduce internal links specially in cms.
