A good internal linking structure is imperative on your blog, meaning that you will find it easier to improve your position in the search engines if your internal links are created neatly. Below you will find a few suggestions you can use to build good internal links.
You can gain more relevancy with your internal links just by how you use and position them. The optimum number of times you should link out from a page to the any one page is roughly two times. It could be a gray area when you talk about a page that is basically self-linking to itself. If you have to link to a page then choose to have just one link, and make it clear. You are doing this with your linking for both technical reasons as well as to assist your visitors. Your aim should ideally be to make things more consistent and common sense.
Add Links to Footers: Depending on the theme you are using on your blog, there may be sufficient space in your footer to be used more effectively. Once they have reached the bottom of a post, people will automatically look at your footer, hoping to find relevant links so they don’t have to go all the way back to the top of the page. Why not take this opportunity and add links to your footers that direct your visitors to important posts on your blog? The internal linking structure of your blog is vital which is why you need to think outside the box and do everything you can to make it better.
Summarize Your Activity: You can also include a summary of your posting activity in an article you post weekly or monthly that features short descriptions and links to all your latest content. You will not only be creating a great and effective internal structure, but you will also be making sure that your existing readers can stay up to date with all your content because they can find it easily, as well as making sure new visitors can read all your best work. When you create a summary of your links, you draw the attention of search engine spiders to some of your older posts while also making sure they get plenty of traffic. It is important that you always look for new ways to create links to older articles.
If you have any text that relates to a topic that you covered in your previous post then create a link there and then.
By including links in the beginning of your articles, you will see that your clickthrough rate from RSS subscribers increases significantly. Your aim as a blogger should be to give relevant content and easy navigation to your readers, and also to make sure your blog doesn’t look unorganized. Every single internal link that you add to your blog should lead your reader to something more relevant and helpful.
