Actual Link power
Dont bluff number of links in your home page. It looks very dirty. Visitors hate number of links in home page. And dont give links for large sentences. Always give link for short and brief sentences. In your home page different links are given different priority. Try to place limited links, in those links you can place sublinks. For example consider my sitemap, Except my home page and about me page all other links are given 20% priority. For home page and about me it is given 60% priority. Your home page is usually the page which is linked to the most, and therefore probably has the highest authority as i said before about my sitemap, or in Google’s terms PageRank, than any other page on your website. Every page that it links to will gain from the power of that link.
