Hi,

We have help pages for every topic level pages. But we didn't give any link from these help pages. So the crawler will be stopped there. These dead end pages are really danger or we can igonore?

Thanks

  • So there is no navigation menu on those pages? No logo to click on to take people back to the home page? Just a wall of text and/or images with zero links?

    Either way it is not a problem, but I would guess that there is some kind of link on the page, isn't there?
  • Where do you want the crawler to go, that it doesn't already go to?

    Has nothing to do with a dead end page.

    Any big site has so-called dead end pages linked back to the homepage or similar pages.

    (This thread is dead-end, so to speak. But look at the top and bottom.)

    But that's a good user experience, not a crawling issue.

  • I don't think that so called "dead end" pages is bad. Anyway, if you are still bothered about this then why not add a link to homepage instead on the top or bottom part of the page.
  • If G. wants you to place nofollow links then why pages without them is bad thing?
