[Zevin]

One of the important things that a lot of web site owners, especially the new website owners, miss is internal linking. While internal linking may not have as much importance as the backlinks, but still they have a certain degree of value in terms of on-page SEO.

What is internal linking?

Internal linking is linking your content with another webpage within the same domain. In other words, internal linking is sharing links to another page of your website within the article. Internal linking should not be confused with inbound link and outbound links. While inbound link is another word for backlink, outbound link is the link to another website (another domain).

Internal linking will create a network of links within your website and search engines love this. Internal linking will link similar content within the website which improves search engine visibility of the content as well as generates internal traffic.

I didn't know that internal linking has a bearing on the SEO of the website. This reminds me of the e-magazine of our office that some articles include a link to the categories of the members. That e-magazine is the website of a big organization in the movie industry so there are pages each of the guilds that are usually referred to when the article is about their members. Having an internal link is easy to be done but I guess it should be important and relevant otherwise it will just clutter the web pages.
