Hello,
i have a website with around 50 products.

The problem is that i have a menu on top of each page where the user can access directly each one of these 50 products.

Is there a way so that search engines do not count the text and the urls of the menu when they crawl the page ? (the descriptive text for each menu item is sepparated from the anchor 's text)

I have read that each webpage should have at most 100 links so if i have around 70 links on the menu this is not very good.

If i use rel="nofollow" for each link on the menu will Google count these links in their maximum 100 links per page ? But what about the descriptive text of the products (they are placed in a sepparate div element).

I think that Google does not understand my webpages correctly but sees a huge menu and misinterpretes the contents of each product's webpage.

Thank you.
