php link management question

[toimprovelife]

Hi everybody,

I am about to code my own php link management script.
Basically, I thought I would have a page "links.php" displaying all the links I have and when called with a parameter like "links.php?id=1", it would only display category 1 for example.

Now I read somewhere (not sure if it's true anyway) that having more than 100 links on the same page is not recommended with SEO and Google in particular ? If this is true (if not 100 links, there is probably a threshold anyway), is the system I want do above bad since search engines will see "links.php" and not the "links.php?id=1" type pages ?
What would you recommend I do ?

Thanks.

PS : I have already a /links.php page with some links on it and I would like to keep the same page name otherwise if I have to rename the page name, web sites linking to me might think I remove their links (they wouldn't find anymore the link page on http://www.toimprovelife.com !)

It would be easy enought to add a pagination script so you can set the total links shown on a page and if more than that it will have Next / Previous links.
Google will see each paramatered page as a seperate page.
There is some talk that says google doesn't show links.php in the SERPs.

don't name the page "links.php"

its better to use actual files instead of using one file and params at least in my opionion

i have made several link directories an few different ways and I find the that way works the best

I used mod_rewrite to make it look like a bunch of different pages.. category1.html, category2.html, etc..etc.

I really should learn to use that I just have been lazy

Mod Rewrite is SEO's best friend. Learn it, use it, love it.
