Is it interlinking or intralinking?
- SEO |
Intuitively, I understand cross linking to be linking between or across domains. And, I understand interlinking to be synonymous with cross linking.
However, in many discussions around the internet it seems as if the term cross linking is defined as linking between domains and interlinking refers to linking within a domain. It is counter intuitive.
Intralinking is more appropriately related to linking within a domain. I have been told that Google has set the precedence by using interlinking to refer to internal links and thus the use of interlinking.
I have searched throughout Google's documentation and find no reference to interlinking as a definition for internal linking within a domain. I have been told that one exists. I have found repeated references to internal links, but the term is spelled out and is not referred to as an 'interlink'.
Which correctly defines linking within a domain, interlinking or intralinking? And, can anyone verify that Google uses the term interlinking to refer to internal links?
If indeed Google has set a precedence, then I say we squelch it. The use of interlinking to mean linking within a domain is counter intuitive. It confuses those know the definitions of 'inter' and 'intra' and it misleads those that are trying to learn.
