Navigational links live in the parts of a page that repeat across the site: the main menu, header, sidebar, footer and breadcrumbs. They help visitors find the main sections and help crawlers discover important pages. Because they appear everywhere, they shape which pages get the most internal links, but they say less about any single page's topic than a link placed in body text.
Example
A mega menu that tried to link everything
Hypothetical marketing platform Cobblequill's mega menu linked to more than 150 pages, including old webinars. Simplifying it to the main product areas, solutions by role, pricing and a resources hub, then linking deeper pages from those hubs, made the menu usable and focused internal links on the pages that mattered.
Common mistakes
JavaScript-only menus
If menu items only exist after a script runs or a click event fires, crawlers may not see them as links.
Questions
If the blog is a significant source of traffic and reader value, yes. Many SaaS sites group it under a resources menu with docs, guides and templates.
