Can a Blog Post Be Considered Spam Due To Internal Links?

Each day I write a blog post about all of the new homes for sale in my area on my local real estate blog. (soon to be a video blog)

I then write a market update summary which points to the new listings for the day and also talks about homes which have changed in price or gone pending or sold or whatever. I link to older content a lot from these summary posts both directly to the older listings and to previous market updates where I made predictions that a home would or wouldn't sell and stuff.

In summary, there is a LOT of internal linking on these market update posts but they all link to different pages on the site, not all to one page in particular. Would all these links get it branded as a spam page though?

    Usually,blog post consider spam,whenever you try to post on forum...It's better if you have your own website and leave a website link rather than blog

      Highly inaccurate.. but whatever. The only spam I see here is your posts with your sig.

    Never had problems with Internal linking, well maybe as long as it isn't something insane such as half of your article being links haha, but I am sure you don't do that

    To sum up, no, a blog post won't be considered spam due to internal linking

    Cheers!

    No, Internal links in blog post itself will never be considered as spam.

    Wikipedia is based on internal links.

    No, this is a good practice. SEOMoz has shown the average page that ranks on the first page has over 80 internal links. You just have to be careful that you don't use the same anchor text over and over for each page.

    It's rare to get algorithmic penalties for internal linking, and Matt Cutts has said this as well.

    The only caveat he gave is that if you have tens of thousands of internal pages linking to a single article then you might have a problem - and he was correct, one of my large sites did have a few pages hit when I gave them site-wide internal footer links across 200,000 pages.
