Wordpress Internal Links

Hi and Happy New Year to you all,

I am in need of some help please, I have been online for a little while now but I am new to Wordpress an I am struggling to find any information that I can understand on internal linking,and the correct way to internaly link the posts on my blog which I understand is essential for SEO.

Do I link all my posts to my homepage? or is it best to link my Categories to the homepage and then link all the posts within a category together.

I am looking for a bit of an idiot guide along the lines of, link this post to this page and then link to this post, but don't link to this page.

It is probably very simple if you know but at the moment I don't know so your help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you:confused:

  HI,
  So not all pages and posts have to be interlinked then?
  I was under the impression that they did.
  Thanks for your help

I use the default Recent Posts Plus, but I am interested in some sort of plug-in that is more flexible that would allow me to put a static link in the section and not just links to the recent posts. Something that offers a bit more control. I am not sure if there is such an animal, but it is hard to search for the specific piece I am looking for.

  If your theme allows you to have an author box, couldn't you just place it into the author box so every single post you write it goes into that? If not, I'm sure there are plugins that allow for author boxes. That's easier to implement & counted as in-content links.

  Read this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...-question.html
  
  Then download this plugin: WordPress › Dynamic Widgets « WordPress Plugins
  
  Then make an informed decision on you want to structure your site. There is a lot more than just linking to helpful posts within your own site.
