Will Google treat internal links as link farm
hello everybody,
I am about to setup an archive for a site and I asked myself if Google will treat internal links as a linkfarm if there are too many.
The structure of the archive should be like this:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/archiv/ Its German but you will understand.
So in every year I link to every week which makes of course 52 links plus some other internal links.
Will Google treat this as a link farm or is it a good method to link all published articles? Is there maybe a better solution for it?
I am thankful for every opinion

Internal links to your own domain can never be treated as a link farm.
A link farm is one when you link to a bunch of other low-quality and similar sites just for the sake of increasing link popularity.

OK, thank you very much.
This is what I guessed but I was not 100% sure.
Edit: What do you think of the structure used in the example? I think it is quiet good as it doesnt go too deep. Or you have a better solution for that? The amount of articles I want to archive is around the same, maybe even a bit more.

All Google says about this is to keep links on one page lower than 100 (I think cumulated internal and external links).
Anyway I wouldn't have more than 50 links on a page and I think is better to have an hierarchically (directory like) structure when you have a large archive.

What about on a sitemap page? One of my sites has on average 1500 unique pages (it varies as it shows date and location listings, so the content is and therefore number of pages is changing on a daily basis).. So my sitemap page (which google religiously follows) has around 1500 internal links on it.. is this going to count against me?
