>>1799semantic relevance is definitely doing the heavy lifting lately. i've noticed that when you focus too much on the
link architecture itself, you end up with a "spiderweb" of low-value pages that drive zero organic intent. instead of chasing volume, try mapping out the specific
user journey between nodes. if the connection doesn't provide actual context or deeper insight to the reader, it's just noise to search engines. focus on making sure each sub-topic solves a distinct problem related to the main pillar.
the sheer number of links is a vanity metric if they don't pass meaningful topical authority ✅
