[Question] Question about deep links.

I searched with "site:blackhatworld.com" on G search results but only found ancient threads dating back to 2006. Here's my question:

Does NOT deep linking really hurt websites? Is a site with zero deep links more prone to a penalty than a site without deep links? Thanks in advance to those who will answer.

Can't really answer your question, however, I think basing anything on blackhatworld forum site will give unproven answers lol

Quality website links to quality resources. This means that if your deep contents are quality resources you will link them!
Google uses this method to discover also poor quality PBNs that links only to external shit/new websites and never link to inner pages.

I've been here longer than you pal, and I can say that using site:blackhatworld.com than just relying on the usual search results is more productive. Try it, you'll be surprised. Of course, you won't mindlessly follow what every member says. You gotta rely on members with reputation.

And yeah, SEO is in your name man. Why can't you answer. lol.
