Oubound links on the index page

who many outbound links

[klondenberg]

hello,

normally, when you put a new domain online, the freshbot comes to catch all the outbound links, which are going out from the first site of the domain.

Until now I just had 40 - 60 links on the first site. google spiders these links
and some deeper links.

did someone try to put 500 or 1000 links on the first page?
will the freshbot index all links within the first crawl?

Google's Design and Content Guidelines [google.com]:

Excerpts:

... Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages...

... Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).

This would include a mainpage.
