# Add outgoing links to dead-end pages

Googlebot follows links to discover and re-crawl pages. A page with no outgoing internal links stops the crawler from reaching the rest of your site from that point and leaves users with nowhere logical to go, increasing bounce rate.

## Quick Reference

- Every page should link to at least 2–3 contextually relevant internal pages to aid navigation and crawling
- Pages with zero outgoing links trap crawlers and users, forming dead ends in your site's link graph
- Contextual inline links (within body content) pass more value than footer or navigation links alone

## Check

For each page, count the number of `<a href>` links pointing to other pages on the same domain (exclude navigation/header/footer if they are templated identically across all pages). Flag any page with zero or fewer than two unique internal links in the main content body (`<main>` or `<article>` element).
