Value:
'Internal Links' indicates the number of hyperlinks to pages, files, or other objects within your web site's domain. Links to other sub-domains or third party web sites are not considered internal. These types of hyperlinks are known as outbound links.

Recommendation:
There are no specific recommendations on the number of internal links to have on a single page, other than to limit this number to 100 or less. Exceeding this value may indicate to Google that the page is part of a link farm.

Tip #1
Sitemaps will commonly exceed this number, so it is recommended to split them up into multiple pages.

Tip #2
Make sure to use keywords you wish to rank for in the hyperlink text. For example, if a page is about tennis shoes, you may want to use the keyphrase "tennis shoes" in all links pointing to it.

Tip #3
Make sure not to use the same link text for multiple pages on your web site. This will dilute the importance of a keyword to a specific page.
