If you are an active internet marketer you would have implemented the internal link building concept in your site. Some marketers do not give importance to the internal links and most of the marketers give priority to the links created from other sites. Of course internal links building is crucial if you want to achieve higher ranking, creditability to your site, more visitors and more sales. Internal links are effective ways of attracting search engine robots and touching the top tanking in the results page.

Website Navigation

Website Navigation is the one that is used to highlight your website. Suppose, if you could not display all the internal pages of your website in the navigation bar, you can try to create a header and show all the important things of your website including the product and pages like about us, contact us, privacy policy etc. Website navigation is very important and one of the easy ways to link the entire web pages of your site. Creating website navigation with SEO friendly will generate good traffic to your site.

Avoid using flash, image text etc. in the navigation bar when you are highlighting your website main pages. Search engines spiders cannot understand the keywords or texts that are used in images, flash and buttons. So, these things will affect your website ranking in search engine.

Creating Internal Links within the content

Linking within the content is more effective when you are using more pages in your website. Search engines give importance to the links created within the content when compared with the links created through side bar, footer section etc. But, remember one think, adding too much of contextual links will not be viewed as a good one by the users. The links should be natural and add more value to your website.

Use proper anchor texts

Search engines will not give priority to the sites that create internal links with imaginary texts. For example, “click here to know more” or “click here for more details” will not help your website in getting good ranking in search engine results page. Instead, you can use SEO friendly anchor texts to drive traffic and impress your readers.

Creating site map

Creating site map is also one of the ways of creating internal links within the website. You can create HTML sitemap restricting the links to 100. Suppose, if you want to use more than 100 links then create another one HTML site map.

Search engine robots give preference to the sites that effectively use keyword for hyperlink. So, instead of numerous URL’s in your articles, you can create different keywords in your web pages and link them. Web masters who are using WordPress can create internal links easily if they choose the plugin “SEO Pressor”. This tool will give you reminder to create hyperlink whenever a new post is created in your site. Seo Pressor also remind you to set up some of the essential things like header1, header 2, header3 tags, add image with alt tags etc. This tool automatically bold, underline and italicize your keyword reducing most of your work that you need to carry manually.
