I was able to read about Matt Cutts blog about links andI was astonished and weirded out how Google was trying to contain their recomendations to lower than a hundred links on a website the reasoning goes:
The original reason we provided that recommendation is that Google used to index only about 100 kilobytes of a page. When we thought about how many links a page might reasonably have and still be under 100K, it seemed about right to recommend 100 links or so. If a page started to have more than that many links, there was a chance that the page would be so long that Google would truncate the page and wouldn’t index the entire page.
These days, Google will index more than 100K of a page, but there’s still a good reason to recommend keeping to under a hundred links or so: the user experience. If you’re showing well over 100 links per page, you could be overwhelming your users and giving them a bad experience. A page might look good to you until you put on your “user hat” and see what it looks like to a new visitor. – Matt Cutts
So come to think about it, it is indeed doable only if you know “the laws of Google”. I’d like to find out what other SEO players are thinking about this revelation.
