Google can follow your links only if they use proper <a> tags with resolvable URLs:
Use proper <a> tags
Google can follow links only if they are an <a> tag with an href attribute. Links that use other formats won't be followed by Google's crawlers. Google cannot follow <a> links without an href tag or other tags that perform as links because of script events. Here are examples of links that Google can and can't follow:
Can follow:
- <a href="https://example.com">
- <a href="/relative/path/file">
Can't follow:
- <a routerLink="some/path">
- <span href="https://example.com">
- <a onclick="goto('https://example.com')">
Link to resolvable URLs
Ensure that the URL linked to by your <a> tag is an actual web address that Googlebot can send requests to, for example:
Can resolve:
- https://example.com/stuff
- /products
- /products.php?id=123
Can't resolve:
- javascript:goTo('products')
- javascript:window.location.href='/products'
- #
