How Many Links Should a Page Have? Finding the Right Balance Once upon a time, Google's official guidance was almost comically specific: keep the number of links on a page under 100.

Hidden inside your images — the ones on your phone, your camera, and all over your website — is a block of metadata called EXIF data.
