Even if this does go over the 150ish links. If Google n Co dont read that many links I dont really care so long as the user can still navigate it correctly. I often will read forum posts like this one fully through with 100 comments so I know users will certainly continue to scan a page downwards so long as it follows thier expectations so to speak. On top of this I will often also link to a 'most popular pages' sitemap that will be broken down into, well, obviously the most important/requested pages.

I posted elsewhere asking for help on this topic just yesterday. We are in the process of building a fairly decent sized site. Right now we are only hitting the 100 page mark but with a few writers on hand, this will be expanding quickly and I wanted a sitemap that wasn't going to make the visitor go blind with a swarm of links Thanks Michael :) Thank you so much for this post.
