Importance of Internal Link Structure in SEO

 

    One of the most important aspects of your website infrastructure is your internal linking structure. You really need to give it some thought as to how to make the most use of your internal links. There is one site structure that I recommend for most websites that will help you keep a handle on this very important aspect of website maintenance.

    It is very difficult for an algorithm to make a conclusive determination of an internal link from an external one as many sites are spread over a number of separate and multiple domains and sometimes even on separate hosts, but it does at first seem like a glaring omission from the learned mathematicians at Google who have been able to readily conquer other rather obscure and tenuous factors that could lead to a skewing of their results. The algorithms have worked out a very reliable way to tell an artificial linking scheme from a real one, so it would seem to follow that they could also determine an interior link from an exterior link. 

    Internal structure is bot on and off page SEO. It has to do with making sure your structure is in a pyramid fashion giving all the links possible to the home page, but not linking the home page to all sub pages therefore increasing the authority of your home page in the eyes of Google. To do this you will need plenty of sub pages that will be linked to from pages other than the home page, but make sure to link the sub pages to the home page. Also never use the word home, index, or similar phrase when placing a link back to your home or index page. For the highest SEO value you will want to use what every keyword you would like to rank well for. If you are worried about your visitor not knowing that the link goes back to your home page you can always put something like “back to” before the link.

    If you pay close attention to your links, you should never have a broken link. But if you do it will be very easy to monitor and track your internal links and their effectiveness and how it impacts your overall search engine optimization.
