I have some pages with 5-6 javascript links loading data from a perl/xml script feed. Is this a safe limit? or could Google penalise me.

Why should Google penalize you? Could you be a little more specific?

In that case you shouldn't worry about it. JS links are not penalized by google or any other search engine as far as I know. They are just ignored, not followed, by the spiders. So if the js link is the only wich points to that page you should add one html link also to be sure it will be spidered.

No, we don't penalize for JavaScript. The only exception I can think of is if you're doing spammy stuff like client-side redirects using JavaScript. But just for normal code or links? Don't worry about it.

Googleguy are you actively looking and coding to remove all the spammy javascript stuff going on?
