I links are considered very important from an SEO perspective. If they do not work or the linked pages no longer exist, we may get a penalty.

Mistakes to avoid
Updating content is critical to improving website visibility, this is because search engines reward consistently updated sites. Getting a improvement in SERP is continuous work that produces results in the short and long term. In order to climb the rankings and improve ranking, it is necessary that the search engine considers us reliable, a landmark in the subject matter we deal with. A site that has content that is 3 or 4 years old shows neglect that does not go unnoticed. Even if the content is relevant, the site could be heavily penalized.

The importance of content on websites: authoritativeness and readability
From an SEO perspective, every detail can make a difference. Especially when it comes to content, ranking increases faster the higher the quality of what we write. Choose a font that facilitates readability, for example, will prevent the page abandonment rate from increasing beyond the allowed percentages. If a pop-up appears as we read, then a sponsorship and a news story with another link follows, reading becomes complicated. Streamlining the information on the page and improve readability could benefit us.
Readability is one of the elements that search engines consider crucial. Having professionals who are used to writing for the web, who produce good content, who know how to convey information, will give authority to the site. The content must be original, must satisfy readers’ queries, must match the categories in which it is placed. Short titles and meta description, which intrigue and lead the user to click, make the site valuable. The length of the text should always have a predetermined limit that usually ranges from 500 to 1500 keystrokes for fast reading to accommodate the device being used. Finally, images should be related to what is written. A harmonious, authoritative and up-to-date site helps business activities to be better known and to better convey the message behind the business activity.
