How many links out can you have?

Does google have a limit on the number of external links it will spider?

I have done a search on this and couldn't find anything obvious - but excuse me if I'm being dim.

I have a homepage (widget.com) and on here wish to link to all the sites I have developed (linking to the individual pages in each of the 20 odd sites). I know google is tops for spidering through links, but want to make sure every page gets the maximum chance of being listed.

Two questions really:

1. Is there a limit on the number of external links that the spider will follow during a trawl from one page

2. Do I need to bother with a link to all the indivual pages?

Thanks for any help.

You shouldn't do too many links, you don't want to appear to be a link farm. I would say 50 at max. You should also have so more content on the page too, other than just links.

The more outbound links you create the lower your PR.
(given the inbound remains constant)
You need to decide on this
