Definition
Sitewide links appear on every page of a site, usually in footers, sidebars or navigation. Although they can contribute to brand awareness, search engines often discount them because they are not editorially placed.
Why It Matters for SEO
While sitewide links can drive traffic, they carry less SEO weight per link. A single editorial link from a site's content is typically more valuable than 100 footer links.
