Hey tedster,

as I recall an interview with somebody from yahoo I remember that they take about 50-100 templates from the internet where they say that are good pages.

The crawled pages are now compared with the 50-100 templates and will now be calculated with on page factors ... for the rankings.
IMO google will do the same?! So there must be at least one template with our MEGA MENUE. And while there are a lot of these pages around this should not be punished by google.

Back to our question. In my niche are many Mega Menues and they do rank very well. 90% have their Menu on left side with more than 100 links per page.
IMO there must be some "hetro" anchor-factor. Because the last google update killed many from the pages with widget red, widget yellow, widget green....

In short the doorways from some of my competitors with only 5-6 links are gone.
