The purpose of the main page links is to guide users to reach key sections quickly and show search engines which pages are more important by distributing authority so they can rank better.

Main page (homepage) links are the strongest editorial endorsements, signaling maximum site-wide trust and authority. They pass the highest "link equity" and are favored by search engines for topical relevance and crawl priority. Securing one is a major ranking boost.

I understand you are talking about homepage links.
As backlinks they are the strongest link you could get.
They serve to really give kick in the rankings.
As internal links they have similar purpose.
Links from homepage should point to most important sections of the websites, powering the whole thing up.

So by homepage link, you're saying that if you get a quality backlink to the actual homepage of your website, that does more for your rankings than if a site linked to, say, a specific page or article on your site?

I'm talking about backlinks.
Link from homepage, not to homepage.
Although it is true that homepage to homepage links work best.

Main page links are mainly used to pass strong authority and trust because the homepage usually has the highest link equity on a site. They help boost visibility, improve crawl frequency, and strengthen overall domain signals.
When done properly and naturally, they can support rankings for important pages, especially for competitive keywords. The key is relevance and moderation. Poor or spammy main page links can do more harm than good.
