How to Setup Internal Links Within a Website.

Internal links are hyperlinks that point to different pages on a website. Setting up internal links within a website gives the site more exposure and credibility. Websites that have a lot of links that point to multiple internal pages within that site creates a more legitimate look and feel.


How to Add Internal Links



The way you setup links within your website is very simple. Just take several keywords that are in your articles and create a hyperlink that leads to other pages within your site that relates to those keywords.

It's important to make your keyword into a hyperlink rather than posting multiple url's in your articles. Search engines take special notice to the amount of keywords that link to various pages in your site. Url's don't carry as much weight with the search engines.

If you have other sites that you want to promote then you'll want to setup up links that point to those sites. Even though internal linking is important, you'll want to setup backlinks that promote your other sites as well because backlinks carry a lot of weight with the search engines.

If a website has a lot of backlinks that point to it then this shows the search engines that the website is relevant and important. Google puts a heavy emphasis on the number of backlinks that point to a particular website.

On top of setting up internal links you'll want to make sure that you set up links to other sites that you own as well.

If you are running your website on WordPress then I highly recommend using a plugin called Seo Pressor because it will remind you to set up an internal link on every post. Also, Seo Pressor will make sure that you set up h1, h2, and h3 tags on every post, add rel="nofollow" to external links, add an image with alt tag set to your keyword, and it will automatically bold, italicize, and underline your keyword. These are all critical elements to follow in order to achieve top seo rankings.

If you link to several different pages within your website then your website will look more credible and important with the search engines and your prospects.
