No Followed Internal Outlinks
What This Means
This page has no internal links pointing to other pages on the site (or all of its internal links carry nofollow). It is a "link island" — receiving traffic and links from outside, but passing nothing internally.
Why It Matters for SEO
Pages with no internal outlinks cannot contribute to crawl discovery of other pages (crawlers reach the page and find no further internal paths to follow) and cannot pass internal link equity to related content. This is particularly problematic for high-authority pages (like homepages, hub pages, or pages with many inbound external links) that should be distributing equity through the site.
What the Platform Checks
The platform counts followed internal outlinks on each crawled page. Fires when the count is zero — either no internal links at all, or all internal links carry nofollow.
How to Fix It
- Add internal links to relevant related content from this page.
- For landing pages: link to the next logical page in the user's journey (services, products, case studies).
- For blog posts: add related post links, topic hub links, and category archive links.
- For utility pages (thank-you, login): even a simple link to the homepage or sitemap prevents complete isolation.
- Remove nofollow from internal links if it is being applied incorrectly.
