Do footer links apply too many on-page links?

[RoyMcClean]

We tend to put a a lot of links in the footers of some of our websites (e.g. www.AlohaWhistler.com). Our CAMPAIGNS report is showing that several pages on such sites have "too many on-page links". We understand the logic that having more than 100 links per page is "too much". Does this also apply to footer links?

Does it apply to footer links?   I would say "Yes"... but your footer links don't look too bad... Some look like they go to valuable and interesting content that could be promoted higher on the page?

EGOL... Thanks for your quick reply!

While many of the links in the footer of www.AlohaWhistler.com (used as an example) are valuable and interesting some of them don't link to "money" pages. e.g. we see footer links to "Homes", "Condos", "Townhomes", etc as important and such pages are listed higher in the page but other links may be valuable to some visitors but not as vital to pump link juice to (e.g. "Our Team", "Reviews", etc.)

I have always been unsure about the balance of adding some links in footers, etc that may be value to some visitors but aren't really a priority for link juice / search engine rankings.

Normally I would only be concerned about reducing the number of footer links if we start seeing reports of "too many on-page links".

I welcome any discussion about this.
