Hi, On my website I have a footer with links to internal pages, the links a light gray, website has a white background. I place the links for the users, but also for search engines to find internal pages. Could google dis-like my website for placing the footer links? Thanks!
I don't see why Google will dislike your site. Has Google become some sort of God that everyone must worship before launching a web site? I guess the purpose of launching a web site is to showcase your product or services etc. Design as you see best for your users, not for Google!
make it clear ,because a small font or light color close to the background color means you don't want the visitors to see it just the search engines !
Generally the space is usually used by people to sell links so google is always on the watch out for links placed there. However, in your case, that’s different because the links are all pointing to your internal pages, so that’s not a problem at all.
They might ban if you add a lot of footer links, In footer maybe only 1-2 links are allowed, if the links are linking to your sites page, then its ok !
you can have up to 100 internal links on any one page, you can place them anywhere you want, just don't make the the same colour as your background.
Your internal links in the footer are fine. An external link or two in the footer is also fine. 10 or 15 external links in the footer might cause a problem. As with just about everything, moderation is the key.
so do i. hope no problem at all. honestly i don't know exactly where i can find google's rules about this internal links and external links. As long as links are not hide i think will be no problem at all
