Is there anything wrong to have large number of internal links pointing to homepage? Including links from sub domains or sub directories?

Hi all,

Generally more number of internal links will be pointed to homepage. But I see some modern suggestions that too many internal links to homepage are not good. I'm just wondering if most number of internal links pointing to homepage may hurt? Also we have sub domains, can we point a link from every page of sub domain or sub directory to homepage? Usually the answer here is about users. Of course, the content is about same product across all pages.

Thanks

Hi vtmoz,

I don't think there's any issues with a high number of internal links pointing to the homepage. In fact, for nearly all sites, I'd say that the number one linked to page would be the homepage. I've built and ranked multiple sites, all with the top linked to page being the homepage and have not had any issues. Could you post a couple of links that say otherwise?

Hi Prawning_Singapore,

Thanks for the answer. As I mentioned, I don't have any issues with too many links to homepage from website (domain). All I worry about is many links from sub domains to website (domain) homepage.
