# Weak Internal Links
Internal links are how search engines discover pages and how PageRank flows through a site — pages with few internal links are effectively demoted in the crawl priority queue.
## Quick Reference
- Pages with only 1 internal dofollow link are difficult for search engines to discover and poorly valued
- Internal links pass PageRank — more quality internal links to a page signal its importance
- Orphan pages (0 internal links) may not be crawled at all unless they are in the sitemap
- Important pages (money pages, cornerstone content) should have at least 3–5 internal links from relevant pages
## Check
Crawl the site and build an internal link graph. Identify pages that: (1) receive 0 dofollow internal links (orphan pages), or (2) receive only 1 dofollow internal link. Cross-reference with performance data from Google Search Console to identify underperforming important pages.
