Hello new blogger, as you start creating content for your blog, you need to understand some few tips that will help you manage your internal linking easily without distracting your readers. Internal linking is the first step to proper indexing so you have to make sure you wrap links around all your pages.
I recently got to know that the more a page is crawled and indexed , the more it ranks on Google. This will help you decide on which pages you want to rank and taking a personal effort to making them rank.
You will get to know as tome goes that Google bots come into you blog for crawling from very different ends. The pages that are trending in your blog (those that have several links pointing to them end up being crawled frequently and soon they'll be indexed repeatedly according to your updating schedule.
To manage proper link building, you need proper tools on your website.
On page link building tools
1. Footer
On top of the list is the footer. This is the most authoritative part of every blog because every page and post links back to it. That maximum potential means that you can place a great post link on your footer to make it rank faster.
You also have to make sure that the links on your footer cover everything on your blog so that new content can easily be crawled or simply discovered by Google bots.
2. Homepage
Your homepage is the second most valuable asset for link building. Most websites that link to your blog use your homepage. You also link to your homepage on your footer meaning it gets so much traffic from bots.
Because of that, make sure that great posts, less prominent categories and other low-potential articles are featured on your homepage.
3. Pages
Apart from the above, you can use manual input to maximize on link building. You can decide to link to a great tech article from 80 percent of all tech articles. You see, that will be great for SEO and traffic.
Why you will mostly forget to do proper linking
Linking is in the important, but not urgent group of tasks so, many people ignore it and focus on useless urgent tasks. When you are hit by that crisis, you'll have to change your style of writing.
When you follow the refreshing tasks below, you'll end up becoming used to link building then you can drop the habits. Remember that you could also trap some cash from useless external links.
How to refresh your linking ability
1. Know it before you handle your pen. Either put it on your wallpaper or just set a reminder to ping you daily.
2. Keep a list of your articles according to category. You'll be confused by how much content relates to your present task if you use this method. When you write so many articles, you end up forgetting others so you need a reminder to yell you what related articles you can link to.
3. Make it manual
Sometimes, you write an article and realize that you haven't used any linking text in your article. Simply hard code the links at the end or in between paragraphs. You can do that as extra information or by simply telling your readers about a great article even if it isn't related.
Over time, you'll realize how great your linking energy can transform your site into a nearly self-reliant site.
If you don't feel like doing it, remember that someone is. You'll then be left crawling from behind.
Ranking is a long process, but this article will push you through. Thanks for reading. Comment your questions or additions and maybe some great techniques that you are using for linking.
