What are the maximum links that should be in 1 post | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I'm asking this because I was wondering if we got too many links in one post, if google would incorrectly think those bloggers are a link farm?

I usually have around 20 or so links per my weekly roundup, but I notice with the Yakezie Carnival, I got about 40 or so last time. 

Does anyone think that 40 or higher would be too big of a number, we all don't want to make the google gods mad!

Any opinions or perferred limits?

One consideration, though: duplicate content.  When I hosted the totally money blog carnival, I added a comment about each article.  It's time consuming, but it helps reduce the link:text ratio, and also the possibility that people submit the same links, anchor text, and description to the same blog carnivals.

That makes total sense!  I didn't think about the duplicate content aspect!  I didn't realize that google would penalize us for having a small snippet of code that's the same.  So does this mean that blogrolls are evil to then?

I hosted a Carnival of Personal Finance a month or so ago that was HUGE! There were like 60 articles that were submitted and not spam, and I ran them all. 

I'm on Blogger and they didn't boot me! haha

I'm not just worried about today, but also tomorrow too, which Google who knows what new page rank techniques they'll choose if not panda, perhaps mongoose (I made that up)…   For you, perhaps, being on blogger, google has your back

I actually shortened my blog roll, took out all non-yakezie links for this reason.  They are still do follow links, but I dont have that many.

Sounds like a clever move on your part!
