Internal Linking: Best Practices for SEO with Real Life Examples

I know when some people get started building websites, there are certain things that get the most attention and that they are most excited about.

Those tend to be keyword research (find the right topics to write about) and link building. And specifically external link building.

Some people feel like focusing on getting as many links pointing to their site from other sites is the most important thing they can focus on. However, what often gets left behind (or is an afterthought) is building links to your own site – internal links.

Why does this matter?

Well, Google has stated publicly that internal links do indeed still pass “PageRank” and it also helps your human readers better navigate your site.

In other words, you can help your own site rank better in Google by simply adding internal links to some of your pages!

Today, I’m going to share with you examples of how internal linking best practices have improved the SEO and overall Google rankings for my own sites.

You can see the examples and read my full post here.

In addition, I’ll share what these best practices are and some tools that can help you speed up the process. Everything I share can be done manually without any software tools.

However, if you are interested in a WordPress plugin that uses artificial intelligence to help you build smart internal links much faster, you should check out my tool called Link Whisper right here.

Thanks again,
