Links are used by Google to determine the relevance of pages and to locate new pages to crawl. Learn how to make your links crawlable so that Google can find additional pages on your site via the links on your page, as well as how to optimise your anchor text so that visitors and Google can understand your material more easily.
Google can only crawl your link if it has a href property and is an attribute HTML element (also known as an anchor element). Google's crawlers will not parse and extract most links in other forms. Google cannot properly retrieve URLs from attribute components that lack a href attribute or from other tags that behave as links due to script events.
