Welcome to the Q&A Forum

My Home Page has about 500 words of content, but when I crawl the text it brings up about 1400 total words when counting all the anchor text links (I believe all are in the navigation or images).  All of the link are internal and relevant (it's a huge site), but I am worried that they are diluting the copy.  Is that likely the case?  What's a good ratio?  Thoughts?
