If there's more than, say, 10, I prefer that they're on the right side of the screen, horizontally. I think it depends on how much links there are.

What this means is that: a) Your links should try to target specific terms from SEO perspective. So, for a chocolate business rather than naming a page as 'Home', you will be better off setting it as 'Chocolate Home'. b) Horizontal links will always be read by the search engine bots before the vertical links. This affords an opportunity to optimize them. A well-optimized horizontal link can add SEO value to your site. c) If you are using images for horizontal or vertical links, please make sure that you set the 'ALT' tags for each of the images. This is especially useful if you have a flash site. d) If possible, consider using the text links over image links. And if you are decided on using image links, do make use of the ALT.
