Technical crawling etc question

Say I have a wordpress blog or blogger blog.

Say I remove all the visual navigation and references to older posts etc so when a person views my site, they cant see any links to any other pages... However if I do this, will Googlebot be able to see all my other pages, or just my homepage? Im assuming it will just see my homepage?

  • It sounds like some seriously bizarre thing that you are trying to accomplish there: are you sure it's necessary? But to answer you question, there are two chief considerations:
    1. Google finds pages by following links. If no links are pointing to a page, whether from the same site or from elsewhere, it is unfindable.
    2. If any page is unreachable via a progression of links from the home page, it will be considered an "orphaned" page and probably dropped from the Google index.

    I hope this helps!
