(Internal linkbuilding)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Internal linkbuilding is another way of saying that you link to subpages within your own website. Let\u2019s assume you own a website with several hundred subpages. You create a homepage text where you want to link internally across your site.<\/p>\n

That is basically what internal links cover.<\/p>\n

A sharp reader might wonder whether menu links on the website are also considered internal links.<\/p>\n

The answer is yes! All links that point internally on the site (meaning you are not linking to other domains) can be categorized as internal links.<\/p>\n

For example, if I link to my SEO guide,<\/a> since it\u2019s a link to another subpage on the same sit, it is an internal link. If instead I linked to a guide written by someone else, that would be considered an external link.<\/p>\n

Why is internal linkbuilding important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Internal linkbuilding is an incredibly important discipline, which unfortunately is often overlooked and forgotten. With internal links, you get a unique opportunity to tell search engine crawlers what each of your subpages is about.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you are not already linking internally from your on-page texts, I highly recommend you start doing so immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
