Google used to limit the number of links they looked at. Now they don't explicitly limit it, but they'll stop if the links seem boring.

- byrneseyeview 17y agoUnfortunately, this is something I heard from a Googler at SMX East. And I don't know how applicable it is--a human would find a long list of navigation links boring, but to a search bot they have much more content than, e.g., a list of "related pages".
