Default Best Number of Sitewide Links

I'm wondering what you think are the best number of site-wide links to offer. Right now I'm offering 11 links under "Sponsors" but thinking about increasing it to 15. Do you think this is to many?

Is there a formula of sorts to help determine the optimal number of site-wides?

10 is the max. I personally think 5 is the best if you are even going to do site-wide links.

Exactly.

Sites that have 25+ sitewide links devalues the site and is not worth any money in my honest opinion.

Don't fall for a sitewide or homepage PR7 link when accompanied by a mass amount of other links even if it's a cheap, it's likely it will be devalued on the next pr update.

I personally do not submit to directories with over 25 out bound links on one page this includes site-wide links.

Unless your directory has something special to offer to make up for the excess sitewides, I think 10 should be the maximum. Above that and it gets very fishy.

They should be kept relevant too.

I agree with you all. To me, 15 is too many.

its depends on your PR and the cost per link.
usually anything more than 10 is not recommended.

Its depends on your website's worth that how much link backs its getting from others.
