How google Crawl the links on a page?

[Jack_Smith]

I want to know If on one page there is 50 links. Does search engine indexes all the 50 links or they just crawl first 10 or 20 links and after that they skip through the page.What is the Process of indexing links on a page?

[Jack_Smith]

Is there any one?

No it crawls all 50 there is a limit to on page links that are crawled though, I think its about 100.

Not to sure though.

Any page with a link to your site with 50 links on isnt going to do you much good.

But I have heard that if on the page there is some junk code then search engine does not crawl all the link.It crawls only top 10 or 15 links. Is it correct?

[Jack_Smith]

Is it correct? Do you people have any idea about this? [But I have heard that if on the page there is some junk code then search engine does not crawl all the link.It crawls only top 10 or 15 links. Is it correct?]

It all depends what you mean by "junk code". If the code throws an error so major that the spider's error recover gets skunked, then the rest of the page may be skipped -- links and whatever else is there. However, there's nothing special about links in this scenario. Any type of content at all can be rendered "invisible" through junk code.

GoogleGuy has said that over 100 links may be problematic. At the same time, I have seen examples where it seems like more than that are crawled. However, it makes sense to me to follow the official advice in a case like this.

I remember reading that the 100 is a suggestion from Google, not a limit.
