We explore the often overlooked power of internal linking for both SEO strategy and user experience, covering everything from basic definitions to advanced implementation tactics.
• Internal links are hyperlinks connecting pages within the same website
• They serve two main purposes: enhancing user navigation and helping search engines crawl and understand site structure
• Proper internal linking prevents "orphan pages" that search engines struggle to find and index
• Internal links establish site hierarchy and help distribute page rank from high-authority pages
• Best practices include using proper HTML elements, descriptive anchor text, and linking contextually relevant content
• Common mistakes include vague anchor text, over-optimization, and neglecting to update links after site changes
• Balance is crucial—too many links can overwhelm users and dilute SEO value
