A page accumulated 2,535 inbound links — all from frontmatter tags, zero from genuine prose. The lesson: frontmatter-extracted links measure co-tagging, not endorsement. Weighting them at 0.2x and markdown-extracted links at 1.0x restored the signal. Any system that ingests tag-heavy sources should distinguish automatic metadata links from human-written citations.
