Blog Tips - In your SEO drive, anchor text of links between pages of your blog is often overlooked. Our first tip is not to use links with the words “click here" you're completely wasting the opportunity. This seems obvious, but is often ignored by many bloggers. Beyond this basic advice, we'll review other ideas on how to improve your existing content quickly and with ease. You might wonder if internal anchor text actually matter to Google and other search engines? Yes, they do! Backlinks (links from other sites) are extremely important to your best case SEO, but, internal links also have an valid role in showing to search engines what is important on your blog and what is related. Keep this point in mind:
An excessive numbers of links is not better than the appropriate amount. You must always keep your posts and entire blog "reader friendly" and easy to read/understand. Don't stretch the logical read, simply to include better keywords! You'll lose your readers, and they won't return!
Link With What You Have Already-
Use the content you already have on your blog too. Here's an easy query that will help you to find where on your blog you’ve already used certain keywords:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:mydomain.com+”my+keyword+phrase”
So if I were writing about blog tips then I would first do this search :
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:blogtogreat.com+"blog+tips”
to see which page mentiones the phrase “link building”. I should see many pages that do, but the top result has the keyword in the title tag and in the URL, so that's the page I am targeting for that keyword.
Begin by reviewing your top 20 keywords and see how many more links you can create to them from the content on your other pages. In-content links have value because they have context (text around them) and are thought to be more “editorial” than site-wide or menu links. (Google is pretty sharp, they can tell which part of your page is the content and which is the menu).
Link While You Write
While writing a blog post, an article, or a new page for your blog, bear in mind your other pages that you've previously written (and you can use the same query above). If you're writing a new post and you refer to something related to a product, service, article, or blog post, consider using the keywords for that page in the sentence and make it a link.
