fix(seo): add internal links to orphaned pages and homepage backlinks#17578
Merged
Conversation
Link orphaned pages from contextually relevant content to improve crawlability and pass link equity: - defi: add "Beyond traditional DeFi" section linking to prediction markets, real-world assets, payments, and AI agents pages - defi: add inline payments link in "Send money" section - nft: link "real-world assets" text and add collectibles mention - wrapped-eth: link "supply of ETH" to /eth/supply/ - roadmap/merge/issuance: link "Total ETH supply" to /eth/supply/ - contributing: add "Add a resource" link to product listings
Add [Ethereum](/) link to the first contextual body mention of "Ethereum" on the 13 highest-authority MDX pages (by external referring domains). This passes link equity from the most linked pages back to the homepage. Pages updated (by RDs): - roadmap/merge (3,133) - whitepaper (2,784) - developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms/pos (1,967) - developers/docs/evm (1,837) - developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-20 (1,730) - nft (1,695) - developers/docs/smart-contracts (1,439) - developers/docs/gas (1,428) - dao (1,270) - foundation (1,266) - roadmap/danksharding (1,231) - roadmap/beacon-chain (1,051) - web3 (1,014)

| Satoshi Nakamoto's development of Bitcoin in 2009 has often been hailed as a radical development in money and currency, being the first example of a digital asset which simultaneously has no backing or "[intrinsic value](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/an-exploration-of-intrinsic-value-what-it-is-why-bitcoin-doesnt-have-it-and-why-bitcoin-does-have-it)" and no centralized issuer or controller. However, another, arguably more important, part of the Bitcoin experiment is the underlying blockchain technology as a tool of distributed consensus, and attention is rapidly starting to shift to this other aspect of Bitcoin. Commonly cited alternative applications of blockchain technology include using on-blockchain digital assets to represent custom currencies and financial instruments ("[colored coins](https://docs.google.com/a/buterin.com/document/d/1AnkP_cVZTCMLIzw4DvsW6M8Q2JC0lIzrTLuoWu2z1BE/edit)"), the ownership of an underlying physical device ("[smart property](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Smart_Property)"), non-fungible assets such as domain names ("[Namecoin](http://namecoin.org)"), as well as more complex applications involving having digital assets being directly controlled by a piece of code implementing arbitrary rules ("[smart contracts](http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/rob/Courses/InformationInSpeech/CDROM/Literature/LOTwinterschool2006/szabo.best.vwh.net/idea.html)") or even blockchain-based "[decentralized autonomous organizations](http://bitcoinmagazine.com/7050/bootstrapping-a-decentralized-autonomous-corporation-part-i/)" (DAOs). What Ethereum intends to provide is a blockchain with a built-in fully fledged Turing-complete programming language that can be used to create "contracts" that can be used to encode arbitrary state transition functions, allowing users to create any of the systems described above, as well as many others that we have not yet imagined, simply by writing up the logic in a few lines of code. | ||

Let's revert this change @minimalsm - it's earlier on the page to link to the word Ethereum in the header section, and I don't feel comfortable with us adding links to the actual whitepaper content when it has the disclaimer "we maintain the original paper below"

See comment on line 17 below - there's already a homepage anchor link here, so let's not add any new links to the original whitepaper content.

Actually @minimalsm the link is in the code here but it isn't working on the live page. Any idea why that is? This is the best place to have the homepage anchor link on this page.

Disregard - that's because this one was added in a different PR. Let's remove the link from the body text below since this is here already.
