Opinion On My Internal Linking

My site is knockerballmn.net. Do you believe I am over-optimizing my internal links? Either from a number of internal links per page or from an anchor text standpoint? I hate watching my competitor with very little content, or in-pointing "trust factors" sit above me. I am tempted and have already made some additions to push the limits and add even more to the homepage and rental page, but wanted a second opinion of where you think I am already at. There are only 15 pages or so, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to skim through to see especially the way I have most links as an html red button display. Thanks for taking a look. I appreciate your feedback.

  • I'm going to be honest.. your internal linking isn't that good. Click on "Where to Play" I will say ok linking.. but then click down to a city... where is the internal linking there? are there other links to the other cities?

    I personally would not be linking out to the assorted park websites... have you clicked on one? Lets look at Armatage's website... If I'm clicking "here" I would expect to see a map.. is there a map? Is there a pretty straight forward link on their site for a map? Its not helping what you are trying to achieve.

    Lets look at Birthdays.. can I get to the other event sub-categories? and THEN your next birthday link is OMG... sending people to look at other options other than yours.. AND you are not listed there!! ( YOU SHOULD BE - as in, work on that! )

    Another couple things that struck me.. you don't have a single image, which means you don't have a singe image Alt either. You don't have an "About Us" page. Your contact page isn't providing an address

    Forget your local competition for a moment here.. have you looked up the term "Knockerball" The links to this very thread are beating you out in the serps.. You are no where to be found.. NO WHERE. The comp at a national level aint all that There is a facebook page and an Amazon link on page 1.. there is a twitter acct on page 2 and you are?

    Do you have a Google my business account? you need to get one and set it up...

    • First, thanks for the feedback. Second, this is a local business. I have no intention of competing nationally. I simply want to win the local market.

      The image issue is something I need to rectify. Obviously I have images as you can see, but they don't seem to be registered as such because of the theme/plugin I am using.


      Yes, I have a google my business account : https://plus.google.com/+KnockerballmnNet

      The park website links are for them to be able to find who they need to contact to reserve space, not locate the park. That's the easy part in my opinion, getting a hold of the local parks and rec. or knowing which entity controls which park is harder in my opinion.

      Event pages, someone looking into birthday events probably also isn't looking to reserve a bachelor or school group party. However, for google's purposes, maybe I ought to put on page links to the other event pages from other event pages.

      I certainly should add an "about me/us page" It'll be one of the next I add. I just personally never read those. I guess my links to reviews fullfills the "trus" factor one gets from something like that in my eyes, but again mother google I'm sure would appreciate one.

    I took a quick look.

    You need to be more descriptive on internal link anchor-text.

    ST. PAUL what?

    Example, all the internal link anchor-text for the URL below.

    • Interesting, where did you get that "data"? I certainly did not manually create all those links to the st. paul page. Are those just taking my navigation lable text? Is this a wordpress structure issue?
