The Importance of Internal Linking & Site Structure

✅ What is Internal Linking?

Internal links are hyperlinks that connect one page of a website to another within the same domain. They're key to guiding both users and search engines through your site.


🔍 Why Internal Linking Matters

  1. Improves SEO

    • Helps search engines discover and index pages more efficiently.

    • Passes link equity (ranking power) from one page to another.

  2. Boosts Page Authority

    • Linking to a lower-ranking or new page from high-authority pages can improve its visibility.

  3. Enhances User Experience

    • Makes it easier for visitors to navigate your site and find relevant content.

    • Increases average session duration and reduces bounce rates.

  4. Helps with Site Hierarchy

    • Internal links reinforce your site structure, clarifying the relationship between content pieces.


🏗️ What is Site Structure?

Site structure refers to how your website’s pages are organized and connected. A good structure is hierarchical and logical.

Ideal Structure:

  • Homepage

    • → Main Categories

      • → Subcategories

        • → Individual Posts/Pages
