      Hello everyone,

      I have a megamenu with 87 links in total. We offer a ton of products, so when we decided to have this developed, it seemed like a no-brainer because a straight drop-down menu was really hard to digest.

      But I have been wondering if it is creating too many links on every single page and/or muddling the signals to the search engines.

      If anyone could take a look and give me their insight, I would really appreciate it.

      Thanks,

        HI -

        MOZ advises the total number of links in a given page to be kept to under 100.   Here is some information that could help you understand it better -- http://moz.com/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many

        Regards,

          Thanks for your response.

          So in your opinion, am I going over the rule of thumb?

          Should I just cut down the number of items?

            It is not required considering what I see in your site. I think your site is good enough on that front. If you were way above 100-150 in the number of links, it would be something to worry about. As is, it is fine.
