How To Rank Well For Your Inner Webpages?
Its not only important to rank well for your home page but also to rank well for your internal pages. For this to happen you need to follow a well planned internal liking strategy. Internal links are the way you point to the sub pages (sub categories) of you website. It’s a surprise that most of the websites (near about 90 percent) don’t have a proper internal linking all throughout their website.
Let’s have a look at a couple of websites. The first of which is an ideal example of a perfect internal linking strategy one should follow and the other can be benchmarked to remember what one should avoid while planning the internal linking structure of his website.
Please go through the website http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ which is created by a well known Search Engine Optimizer whose name is Michael Wong. He has optimized each of the sub pages for various internet marketing names like Armond Morin, Marlon Sanders and many more, keeping in mind all the basic onpage optimization.
On clicking on the "Marlon Sanders" hyperlink we are taken to a page SEO for the keyword "Marlon Sanders". The page has got the keyword "Marlon Sanders" in the <title> tag, <h1> tag and top left hand section. The keyword is also in bold and is mentioned throughout the page. If you perform a search at Google using the keyword "Marlon" and "Sanders" you will find the internal page http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/directory/marlon-sanders.html listed at the first page. The most important factor that got this page to top SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Pages) is the good internal linking structure of the site.
Now, let us have a sneak peak at a "good looking" website http://www.you-must-think-big.com which can not be found now in the SERPs and therefore receives no traffic.
-
Their home page title reads "find out which product to sell online and how to sell it" and no one will ever bother to search with such a keyword combination.
- The <h1> tag also makes no sense and when we move toward the <body> tag, we can find that a huge header graphic image forms the part of the main content which is not at all recommended.
- The website follows a poor internal linking strategy as it uses graphics in place of text to point to the sub pages. They're wasting "votes" that they could be casting fortheir internal web pages.
Perform a search using the keyword "Business Development" which is related to the site at any SEO Software and you will not be able to find the site anywhere in the top 100 search results.
Always keep in mind to hyperlink to an inner webpage of your website by using your main keywords. Doing this can help boost your website search engine rankings at major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Live(MSN) and many other as we've seen for Michael Wong's website.
