Generally, dangling link is a link that is pointing to a page on the website that hasn’t yet been indexed on the Google search engines (SEO Services) or a page that has no links going from it. In both cases Google (SEO India) eliminates the links shortly after very beginning of the page rank calculations and restores them shortly before the calculations are finished. At the time of calculation of page rank of a website, Google generally calculate by removing all the dangling link occurrences and estimate the overall page rank of the site. If once the page rank gets cached, the dangling link can be added back, without having much effect on the overall score of the site. In this way, their effect on the PageRank (SEO Company) of other pages in minimal.
How Page Rank Gets CalculatedGoogle calculate the page rank, with taking in account a number of criteria, such as the total number of pages on a website, different types of linkages to each of the pages, or the kind of page it is and more.
For example, links of page A to page B on a site, and links of page B to page A. Page A is also links to page C. But Page C doesn’t have any links to A and B. Means Page C has no links to any page to that site. The C page termed as an orphan page. The link from page A to C is a dangling link. As per Google search engines (SEO Company) indexing rules, no orphan page can exist on the search engine results (SEO Company). So this page is not considered by the search engines. The websites has 3 pages and the page rank potential is actually 3, due to a dangling link, only two pages – page A and B are scored and calculated. But an expert SEO (SEO Company) does not suggest you to do make such orphan page and we almost try to avoid it.
So it may be functionally fantastic to link to pages within the site without those pages linking out again. It is bad for PageRank (SEO Company) and has no way of getting write way to get page rank. It is pointless wasting PageRank unnecessarily, so always make sure that every page in the site links out to at least one other page in the site.
