Abstract
We show exponential growth of torsion numbers for links whose first nonzero Alexander polynomial has positive logarithmic Mahler measure. This extends a theorem of Silver and Williams to the case of a null first Alexander polynomial and provides a partial solution for a conjecture of theirs.
