Can a Good Article Be Too Easy to Find?

I have been thinking about something with blog structure.

We usually try to make important articles easy to reach through menus, categories and internal links. But I wonder if giving every important post too many internal links can make the site structure less clear.

For example, if one article is linked from almost every related page, is that always helpful, or can it make it harder to understand which pages are actually the main topics of the site?

How do you decide how many internal links a blog post should receive?

There is a clear distinction between making an important page easily searchable and giving it disproportionate prominence everywhere

Yes, exactly. I just want important pages to be easy to find without adding too many links everywhere. The goal is to keep the site structure simple and clear.

I think relevance matters more than a specific number. I usually link an article where it genuinely helps the reader and keep stronger links for the main pages.

I agree that relevance matters more than a fixed number. But how do you decide when an article has too many internal links? Do you follow any rule, or just add them where they make sense?
