I recently saw a website and i got confused looking at the internal link building of that site..

The case is that the X page on the site has an anchor text (keyword) pointing to Y page of the site..When i visited the Y page the same anchor text was directing on the home page of the same site..Is it fine??..I am totally confused..Please let me know if this is right or wrong!!:confused:

  • it would probably be better to use different anchor texts to link between each page

    • I would appreciate if you can tell me in detail whats the right procedure.

      Thanks!!
  • Don't over think this too much. From the homepage you need only a sitemap or a link to all of the other main categories on your website. Use anchor links to link to the specific categories. From the categories use anchor texts to link to the individual posts in each category.

    The category links could stay in tact throughout the website via your sidebar or footer. But you should have a link back to your homepage on EVERY page.

    • Yep! And that is a simple thing to do.

      The important thing is not that google can read yoru site, because it can with your sitemap. The important here is that your READER can go through your page without obstacle and you need to offer them what they are looking for before they just go away!

  • Internal linking is very imporatnt.
    I will give you an example for it.

    If your page rank is 3 of main page. So you can attach many of links to mail page. So other page get benefits of pr of main page.
