Internal Linking: Commandment 1

Commandement 1: Content Grows Internal links

Content grows internal links! The more pages you have in your website the more internal links you can place.  When you create a lot of content this will expand your possibilities to have lots of linkable content. The larger your network of internal links the better your internal linking strategy will work. The content isn’t limited to the number of pages you have within the website. You can also link to blog post.

One of the most common misconceptions in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is that internal links carry little weight in comparison to external links when ranking web pages. The fact is however that internal links on a large, authority site can carry a huge amount of weight.

Internal vs. External Links Explained:

Internal links are links that point internally to other pages or sections of your website. This is in contrast to external links, which are links from external domains. For example, if you place a link from the text on your homepage that talks about one of your services to the individual service page this is an internal link. If you add a link from your events page to your Facebook page or another external website this is called an external link.

Why are Internal Links Important for SEO?

Your internal link structure has so much value, because links are one of the most important elements that search engines like Google use to rank and order websites.

  • Internal links helps improve your “Page Rank” to individual pages on our site, helping them to deliver higher ranking status
  • Internal links help Google Bots crawl and access the different pages of your website
  • Internal links also improve user experience by quickly navigating them to other relevant information on the website

A lack of internal links makes it more difficult for Google to crawl and index the multi-layers of your website. It will also be harder for users to explore or connect with the different areas and content of your site.
