      According to SeoMoz, my taxonomy terms contain more than 100 links (links to articles in my case) and it tells me that I should reduce it. I have seen a video by Matt Cutts, the google software engineer, and in that video he said that Google's engine has dramatically improved ever since and 100 is not the limit anymore.

      What do you guys think is the best practice here?

      To clarify the subject even more:

      I want to learn this from link juice perspective, does it effect how link juice is distributed?

      Let's say I have 5 taxonomy terms and all of them have 200 articles and these 5 terms are listed on the home page of a PR7 website. In this case some of the PR will be passed to these 5 taxonomy terms. However, if I increase taxonomy terms to 10, then i will reduce links to 100, but the PR will be distributed even more.  This means each taxonomy term will have even less PR value.

      Am I wrong? Any ideas?
