The more links on a page, the less PR is given

What would be a nice number of links on a high PR site?

Hi all,

I know that the more links you put on a high PR site, the less PR you give each site you link to.

The other way around, having less links from the high PR site will give more PR to each site you link to.

Can anybody advise me on what would the best number of links to place on the high PR site? (A rough indication will do fine.)

And can anybody tell me where I can find more info about this matter?

Regards,

Wouter

Tribal, I don't think there is a "best" number of links on a high PR site. If you are the link recipient, the best number is "1". :) If you own the site with the link(s), then the number of links depends on your objectives - how many internal links you want, whether you are trying to help one site in particular, etc.

For compilations of external links (link pages, directories, etc.), I'd tend to keep the number under 50 or so. Naturally, the PR will be diluted, but all should get indexed.

side note ...

i'm sure in this case you meant page not site and were typing too quickly to notice what you wrote ...

but for others reading its very important to grasp the concept that pr is page specific and not site specific.

Great,

Thank all for the replies.

Google's own guidelines says max 100 links on a page - they don't mention PR in this context though.
