Internal Linking

Hi jayclifton34,

I ink to only one or two related posts in each article. Aside from those two, I link to one or two external sites, usually resources. 1 is the minimum, and most of the time, that should be enough. You wouldn't wan too many links on each article.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

To me link structure deals to a lesser extent with the quantity of links but rater with a hierarchy internal links are organized by.
I usually keep a few basic rules about internal links in mind:
-anchor text should contain descriptive phrases (with and without keywords), as well as 'read more' elements, for the sake of anchor text diversity;
-internal links reflect a site's hierarchy, which basically means that links go down from homepage to inner pages, from category pages down to subcategory pages and from subcategory pages to product pages, shopping cart etc. (although this rule is not written in stone);
-it is possible to organize internal link structure in such a way that link juice will be spread organically (for instance, if a page has many external links, one can put some internal links right from this page to redistribute link juice among all the pages and improve other pages' ranking).
And as for the quantity, it depends on a topic and context, but 2 to 4 links for a short article usually do well for me.

Internal linking can be very effective when it comes to building on-page SEO tactics. It also helps a great deal in site navigation.

Internal Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) the same domain as the domain that the link exists on (source).

It's the opinion of many that you really can't have too many internal links on a page or post.
Look at Wikipedia for example. Every page has numerous internal links.
However, when posting internal links it's a good idea to only use your exact keyword as the anchor text once. But...you can use variations of your keyword as anchor text as many times as you like. But when doing this, make sure the internal page you're linking to is relevant to the post/page topic.
For example: If your keyword is "freshwater fishing" and you have another post titled "Trout Fishing in Freshwater" you could use that as the anchor text to link back to that page as it contains both keywords.

internal links is an important element of search engine marketing. Unlike external linking the site owner has complete control over internal links, so it's important to make the most of it.
