Why they happen#
Old campaign pages, pages dropped from the menu in a redesign, and posts never linked from a category.
Why they matter#
Google's link guidance says it finds pages mainly by following links. A page with none is hard to find and gets little credit from the rest of the site.
What to do#
- If the page is useful, link to it from the most related page with clear anchor text.
- If it is not, redirect it to the page that replaced it.
Find them#
The site scan lists orphan pages from its crawl, and proposes links once you approve.
