Does The Number Of Links On A Page Affect Ranking?

Much research has focused on the arrival of links to a page, but little has focused on the number of links, actually, a page (outgoing or in other parts of a Web site). Many SEO gurus have recently been talking about something they call PR-leaks , which seems to be a theory that links are more outgoing, more your page rankings on Google leaks away. This concept is not scientific works published by the founders of Google, but seems to be accepted by a majority of SEO. I decided it was time to take a look at the number of links on a page number and how it corresponds to the classification. The methods met the results of the consultation process, of course, last month by myself and three colleagues with two major search engines and analysis. He said that the number of links on the page (references to href ) organized and the results against the ranking of the URL in the search results. The table of results to become a standard rating. The results for each of the two major search engines are separated so that we can find a difference between the two major search engines for this factor. The result graphs showing the results for groups of default, the number of links to a number between -100 and +100 shows the probability of being ranked higher / lower. A value of +100 shows that 10 rankings were in the correct order to show that the value of pages studied always ranked alongside that of another grade. A value of -100 shows that all 10 rankings were in the correct order to show this side of the value always regarded as inferior to the pages of another grade. Figures show between different classifications of risk proportionally between -100 to +100. This is the number you see on the tree. X-axis, we found that the number of links. They are grouped in sets of 10 to increase the statistical significance of the amount of data that were available for analysis. Below are the charts of the two main search engines: http://www.SearchEngineGeek.com/graphs/dey01.gif target = _new http://www.SearchEngineGeek.com/ graphs / dey01. gif http://www.SearchEngineGeek.com/graphs/deg01.gif target = _new http://www.SearchEngineGeek.com/graphs/deg01.gif (Note to webmasters: S 'Please Do not hesitate to hot link to the previous graphics or copy them to their own site if publish this report. Gjerne remove this note.) The number of links have been grouped in this way to increase the number of available data . Unfortunately, it also reduces the accuracy of results. You can see that the links 91-100 range much higher than the links 1-10, but you're not able to see about 77 to 79 different selection of links (for example). The result is very crucial. The two major search engines rank pages with more links much higher than pages with fewer links! Again, it seems that the SEO spying PR-leakage theory is simply wrong. If his theory took no account at all, we must do exactly the opposite. The pages with more links rank below average. Notes: 1. There was no exercise to try to isolate different keywords. I just took a random sample of search requests made by myself and three associates during the month. 2. This is just a correlation study, so that it can not be determined from this study if the primary goal of search engines to entertain this factor or not. The factors that can be used beyond the factor being studied.
