Effective use of internal links can not only make your blog more friendly, but also help improve the search rankings. Here are 10 ways to improve internal links.
1. Sitemap
Site maps not only help readers find what they need, but also increase the number of internal links in important pages. I'm not saying that for search engine XML site maps (although they are equally important), they are linked to pages of all articles, or at least important articles.
WordPress users can use sitemap Generator plugin to automatically generate site maps, sorted by category all articles. Effect please see here.
2. FAQ
On the FAQ page, list the frequently asked questions that can be answered by your article. The keyword you like to use when you use the reader's search questions in your content, so you can improve your search rankings and use links in your content to point to your article.
3. Related articles
Articles that link to similar topics can help readers find out what they are interested in. Again, this can add content links to the article. You can manually add related articles below the article, WordPress users can also use Plug-ins related Entries.
4. Hot Articles
Displaying hot articles in the sidebar can effectively improve browsing and increase internal links. This feature can also be added manually or using Plug-ins. mostwanted This plugin works fine.
5. Series Articles
Writing a series of articles is a good way to create internal links. If you write a long article, consider dividing it into a series. However, do not always use this method, so that readers feel that you are too much to pursue the volume of browsing is not good.
6, Month (week) summary
Many people write an article every month, listing the most popular articles of the month and writing a summary for each article. This obviously gives you an opportunity to add internal links, and allows readers such as new subscribers not to miss out on your good articles.
7, 404 page
Error pages can depress readers. Listing your hot posts on page 404 will make the error page friendlier and will give you extra traffic. Most wordpress templates contain a 404.php file. If your template does not have 404 files, suggest a look at WordPress Codex.
8, footer
is related to the template used, your footer may contain only a small amount of content. Some readers may want to see the post link at the end of the page, rather than pulling the scroll bar back to the top of the page, while reading the scroll bar. Why not provide them with more links?
9, the content of the article
When you write an article, try to find opportunities to link to old articles, and as the number of articles increases, it becomes easier. Before you start writing, it's a good habit to review old articles for links.
It's better to use links in the first few paragraphs of an article, or you can draw readers who use RSS readers to the web.
Alinks Plugin
WordPress users can use the Alinks plug-in automatically generated links to common words. (Zebian Admin01)
