Does Building Internal Links Help SEO?

I always make it a practice to chose 1-3 keywords that I am targeting and include at least one of them in each of my blog posts.

I then link that keyword back to the home page or a relevant page within my site.

However, I do not know if it is the keyword linking or the creation of consistently new content that is benefiting my site.

Any opinions on this?

    Hi kfugere,

    Yes, internal links are part of the link graph just as any other backlink. They have beneficial effects in the use of anchortext on your page relevancy scores as well as allowing PageRank to flow through your website.

    Over the years there have been some live internal linking experiments within the Warrior Forum itself, and it was proven to be beneficial in terms of keyword ranking in the SERPs.

    Its very important to link between pages for user navigation and crawlability (make sure the search engines index it).

    I also recommend deep linking from other sites to pages aside from your main index page, it will help your entire site to rank better and also help your sub pages, which generally target a slightly different or more specific search term, rank better as well.

    Yup, its a very powerful factor for linking inside the content. According to the search engines relevant links within content ranks higher in the order of importance. Apply deep links into your blog content, this will allow the spiders to crawl deeper throughout your blog or website.
