        That number would include internal links, too. Your homepage has 96 links.

        You don't need to worry too much about having over 100 links as long as it is natural and not spammy.

          That one is a soft warning.  While best practices dictate that the amount of links you should have on a page is enough, meaning the minimum amount that you need, the number 100 has been used as a base point.  This includes all the links in the header, footer and body.  So, if you have a complex menu system, you are probably going to get close to that number right away.

          Anyway, it's all about shaping your website to retain as much "link juice" on your important pages, and making sure less important pages don't start leaching off of it.  This warning is just suggesting that you should take a look to see if everything you are linking to is important to the visitor on that page.

              OK Thanks.

              So most my posts will be just below a 100 then , and this list of some 15 or so has a few more links than the others.

              OK I think I got it, Thanks!
