A page should have less than 100
links
My great debate has ended, I now know the number of
links recommended by google.com per page.

Design and content guidelines
Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be
reachable from at least one static text link.
Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important
parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may
want to break the site map into separate pages.
Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and
accurately describe your content.
Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure
that your site actually includes those words within it.
Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or
links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images.
Make sure that your TITLE tags and ALT attributes are descriptive and
accurate.
Check for broken links and correct HTML.
If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?"
character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages
as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number
of them few.
Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number
(fewer than 100)

A page should have less than 100 links
