@johnmu.com I have a case where a municipal website has a page for disclosing street improvement plans. It has 4,264 links in a long list for plans going back decades.

Links lower on the page aren't indexed.

What number of links can be indexed on a page?

Last year I ranted about how I'd bid for a domain name thru GoDaddy offering a low 4-figure sum, seller accepted, I provided payment, and then the interaction halted due to no response from the seller.

I just bought the domain for only $128!

Wait. Website content might NOT impact Google Maps keyword rankings. Chris Silver Smith (@silver-smith.bsky.social) just came out with an interesting study on this.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

Of course, using the number of search results for a query is not the only use-case of the number. It assists in knowing how many pages are indexed from a particular website (using a site: search) when you do not have access to that site's Google Search Console.
As that article references, counts are not necessarily a measure of interest or popularity of terms, plus they are really broad estimates. Google Trends is a far more robust tool for those interested in that stuff trends.google.com/trends/

Huge heads-up! Manual actions for 'Site reputation abuse' have already started going out based on the policy update. Jason Kilgore pinged me on LinkedIn about this. So I checked CNN Underscored, WSJ Buyside, and others. Gone. Here is one of the manual actions just applied (not a site mentioned) #seo
