I happen to think I meet most of the requirements laid out above, which is a good thing too, because I already work as a link builder. The only one I can't seem to get around is the working before noon thing... Believe me, morning hurts my head and stifles my creativity (not to mention beauty rest) just as much as the next link builder, but I don't really have a choice about working hours unfortunately. Am I disqualified from all website publicity activities?

Only just now did I realize what you were talking about with the shifty-Matt Cutts-me comment. You saw this: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/smx-seattle-wrap-up/#comment-106642 (didn’t read those comments until today and only because I got there through Graywolf’s blog).

I found the page that you’re talking about, but I haven’t had time to read it. Here is the link: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html. I’m going to get back to it tonight and spend some time going over it carefully. I remember Vanessa saying that you don’t really need to add all the info about update schedules etc. and that just a plain list will do. I’ll probably stick with the simple html for now. My skills aren’t all that high yet.

John: I can be of some help to your question, I guess. The 100 limit is for the HTML sitemap, not for the XML sitemap. The XML one gets up to 49,999 and anything above would get you into the second XML (ie sitemap2.xml). Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Thanks to both of you. My sitemap is a simple list of all the html pages on my site. I used regular text links. I could just weed pages out, but I thought the point was to list all the pages for the bots in order to make their job easier and faster. I didn’t even know that sitemap links were passing value.

Tinkerbell: The guidelines of Google do specifically state that if your site map starts to get over 100 links, you should make another page.
Another suggestion is to consider if all the links of your sitemap are necessary. See of you can make your siemap more concise. If you can’t then the Google guidelines suggest you make a new page.

The 100 links/page is not an absolute limit. However, the more links you have on a page, the less value will be passed to each of them. By limiting the number of links you can make sure that each link is worth something (rather than just a tiny fraction of that).

That said, when you say “Sitemap” do you mean a XML Sitemap file (or text URL listing)? If so, you can put all your “links” (URLs) in there – up to 49′999 per file and I think up to 1′000 files (and more, if you have that many). The sitemap-files are not treated like normal pages, so you don’t have to worry about that. Also, if the sitemap is a HTML sitemap page, then you might still want to use more than 100 links on it — if you don’t need to have those links pass value and if it makes sense with regards to usability.
