      I know it used to be 100 urls per page, but recently Matt cutts has said that they can count a lot more now.

      I was wonder what you guys thought was how many was to many per page?

          When you ask about how many links are "too many", we need to understand the context.

          Are you referring to internal or external links?

          Are you referring to followed links or nofollow links?

          What is your goal with these links?

          If you simply care about helping users navigate your site, then use as many as you deem helpful. If you are trying to pass link juice, then you want the smallest number of links possible. The smaller the number, the more juice that will flow to each link.

            Matt may have mentioned that more is possible, but he also mentioned that he stil recommends you keep the link count at 100 or less ( http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-many-links-per-page/ .) In terms of LinkJuice and PR flow, having that many links on a page is definitely not recommended in any cirumstance. Simply put, the value of Juice that is passed through your links is divided by the number of links on your page (no-follow or not).

            So if you have 50 link juice points and 150 links, each link will get 0.333 points. (I am just using arbitrary number and the term points to make my point.)

            • Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?
