The One Piece You May Be Missing…
Man, I apologize for not posting in a while. I have been super busy on a project recently which I will let you know about in a future post. I created 15 videos for this new site, each one being 20-30 minutes long. So, it took a while to get up and running.
But the idea for the site hit me one day, and it combines my offline business with my online skills, so I think it could be a big hit. And its a little different because my total focus on this site is list building on the front end with sales on the back end. So, I’ll unveil that, maybe in my next post.
What I want to talk about in this post, though, is something almost everyone overlooks. And doing this can boost your SE rankings tremendously - internal linking.
What is internal linking? In its simplest form, it is linking one page to another in your site.
And I am no SEO expert by any means, so I don’t know all the technicalities behind it, but I do know that it helps your rankings. And the way I think about it is that if I have 10 pages on my site, and each one links out to an affiliate product or some other site, then when the spiders come crawling, they will hit a page, follow the links and be off my site in no time.
But my goal is to have them on my site as long as possible, so they can crawl and discover and index ALL of my content, so it is critical to have some links on your page linking to other pages on your site (like this one!).
So, what is the best way to do this?
Again, I’m no SEO expert, but my general approach is to have at least one link on each page going to another page. Or, if it is a blog, with every post, I make a link to the previous post, like this post I did about the product reviews and the Affiliate Genie review.
Now, I’m sure there are guru’s out there that tell you to do it a specific way to get the best results, but just link to other posts and other pages on your site, and use varying anchor text, and it should work fine. Keep it simple and uncomplicated.
That’s it. Doing this one simple thing can increase your ranking tremendously and get more of your content noticed by Google.
Pretty cool, huh?
