Google: We Do Not Index Links, We Index The Pages Between The Links

Google's John Mueller clarified how SEOs should think about Google's index and links on the web. He said on Twitter "we index pages, we don't index links. Links are between pages." That means, Google will index a page, that page may have links on it, and if Google sees the link, it knows there is a link but it indexes the page, not the link. Google的John Mueller闡明了SEO應(yīng)該如何考慮Google的索引和網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的鏈接。他在Twitter上說：“我們索引頁面，我們不索引鏈接。鏈接位于頁面之間。” 這意味著，Google將為頁面編制索引，該頁面上可能包含鏈接，并且如果Google看到該鏈接，則它知道存在一個鏈接，但會為該頁面編制索引，而不是該鏈接。

Here is the tweet:

This brings us back to when John explained that if one of the pages between the link is removed, gone, 404ed or something else, than the link is gone. If you cut the cord, the two are no longer connected. 這使我們回到約翰解釋說，如果鏈接之間的頁面之一被刪除，消失，404ed或其他原因，則鏈接消失了。如果切斷電源線，則兩者將不再連接。

It is a small distinction but a distinction.
