Internal Linking
Internal links connect pages within the same website. They help users navigate related information and provide search engines with additional paths for discovering pages.
A strong internal linking strategy connects related content naturally while helping important pages receive appropriate contextual links.
Think in Topic Clusters
Example Internal Linking Structure
Good vs Weak Internal Linking
| Strong Practice | Weak Practice |
|---|---|
| Contextual links between related topics | Random links unrelated to the page |
| Descriptive anchor text | Repeated generic 'click here' anchors |
| Important pages receive relevant links | Important pages become isolated |
| Logical topic clusters | Disconnected content |
