        Hi Miguel,

        No, there's nothing to worry about if the links are pointing to your own Website.

        The original reason Google provided that recommendation is that they used to index only about 100 kilobytes of a page. When they thought about how many links a page might reasonably have and still be under 100K, it seemed about right to recommend 100 links or so. If a page started to have more than that many links, there was a chance that the page would be so long that Google would truncate the page and wouldn’t index the entire page.

        That is an old recommendation as Google can now index well more than 100K per page, you just need to make sure all those links do not affect user experience.

        Hope that helps!

          Hi,

          I gone through your site. You main page is having more links, according to search engine rules per a page 100 links is enough, because in such way they developed their algorithms to read 100, more than that also it is reading, but according to search engines we are breaking the rules.  This rule is from 2009 onward, now also it is applicable.

          And also URL structure is not user friendly on your site if we take Lvadora product if we put a cursor on that image it is showing """/category&path=59""", but it should not be like that better to modify these like give a specific product name instead of Path ID's

          Example:   """/category&path=Lavadora"""

            The thing about having so many links, is it will dilute the authority you distribute to your pages. This is great if you are trying to have an evenly distributed PR across all pages, but the reality from an SEO perspective is you generally want to push your link juice into key areas.

            Food for thought.

              Dr. Pete wrote a great post regarding that warning and the meaning behind it, and when to pay attention and when it can be ignored.
