SEO Tips Day 3 – 5 Handy Internal Linking Tips

You’d already be aware that internal linking helps a lot in passing value to your internal pages. And how can you maximize the benefits of internal linking ? Here are 10 tips.

Tip No: 1

Use your preferred keyword on links rather than a “click here” or “check this out” link.

Tip No: 2

Use text links combined with image links to emphasize your keyword significance.

Tip No: 3

Use Nofollow tags selectively on pages to filter out un-important pages from being crawled.

Tip No:4

While using links, use title tags to leverage on the keyword importance.

Tip No:5

If you’re clear on the keyword intended for a particular page, check if your anchor text (on the link), page title (of the page), keyword significance on the linked page are all matching well.

    Small but good. But Mani, what does the #4 tip mean. How does a title attribute in link can affect the SEO? Also note there is some error in the shortened URL for this page.

    You can add to number 5 that when possible, keywords should be included in the URL for the target page, separating keywords with hyphens.

    For example, a page about goldfish bowls might be:

    http://www.thegoldfishexperience.com/goldfish-bowls/large-goldfish-bowls.html

    Do you think Google wouldnt crawl links with NoFollow tag? I dont think there is any reason why Google would want to miss a chance to crawl the link.

    Isnt it like this – when we use No Follow, Google takes the message that, the author is not very sure of the quality of the link. What do you think?

    Thanks

    Mani KarthikNo Gravatar Replied:

    You’re right. Google have made it clear that they might actually take a peek at the page, but not necessarily would “index” it or attach it within the network of the linked website. So nofollow tags technically doesnt mean creating a wall, Google wont crawl to the other side, but a transparent glass sort of – it takes a look at the other side but doesnt actually go there.

    Makes sense ?

    THanks for the 5 tips I found tip number 2 interesting as I have never heard of linking with a image so the link carries more weight.!

    Internal links are basic building blocks of structure of a web page and helps web pages to lift each other within a website so that all get crawled regularly .

    Seriously i am getting such a headache with all the tips that everyone knows. Stop listening to seo guys and do the work yourself. analyzing+testing is only way to go, on blogs like you will just get same usual crap.
