Hi,

You can create as many links as you want. It's good for search engine spider to crawl your site.

Regards,
Rahul.

Well, sorta. There is of course no limit to how many links you can put on the page, but there are various limits to their usefulness.

For one thing, the SE's don't give as much weight or credence to information beyond 100KB (some think it's 100 links but I see no evidence of that). So links far down in the code won't have much value/impact.

Equally important, the more links you place from your homepage to internal pages, the more the homepage's link juice is divided into smaller increments, and that's not necessarily a good thing.

You need to think about what are the very most important subpages in your site (usually akin to internal 'hub' pages or nodes that cover a specific topic) and limit your links to those pages, plus perhaps a handful of very important deeper pages.

Have a look at BT's classic on Themes [webmasterworld.com]. Read the entire thread but pay particular attention to the fourth post; the one that includes the graphic.

As for simply getting pages crawled, that's what sitemaps are for. ;-)
