Is Google’s 100 links per page guideline still valid? Particularly given advanced CSS capabilities that allow tabs, reveals and other treatments that allow more content and links on a page without degrading user experience.

glad to hear that one cleared up
Good to hear an update about this, been wondering about this for the past few years (when I started SEO I kept hearing about this “link cap” but never saw any solid evidence that it was true)
Finally the word of boss
Nice name there, buddy.
I think this guy lie with every word he says, he don’t want we to know anything..
@crashxxx If he “don’t want not us to know something”, then why on earth did they make this channel. Google could just leave us in the dark about everything, but they don’t. They actually care about good search results, so that they can serve their customers well. So it is in their best interest that people will make websites with good content that they can crawl well and hence give their custumors good SERPs. THAT is why they are NOT lying (very often
). Btw, Nice answer Matt, thanks.
Another stupid SEO myth bites big dust burgers. Phew!
@crashxxx Yes, and you know a monster hides under your bed too!
so in other words, yes more than 100 links is gonna sink your page pretty bad
Where do people ask those questions?
I would like to ask one also.
@wearealltubes most of them are just that. Best SEO strategy is to create good content and build an audience.
not at all, but too below texts besides attendance I will remind you of free willy
This might be a dumb question so please forgive me if it is. Would this apply to an indexed style site map? What I mean is what if all the items on a site that are alphabetically listed on a sitemap go well over 500 links on that page? Would that site be penalized in some way or considered a link farm or spammy?
MOAR VIDDDSSSSS!!!
Good video. Thanks Matt!
Yes… but… more links will slow page loads down and get your listing reduced
thanks Matt
What if your page with 5000 links is the SITEMAP? It will definitely look like you’re stuffing things in there.
is this really from a five year old blind kid????
@richardiweanoge not exactly
