SEO Glossary
Internal Linking
Internal linking is the phrase given to the concept of linking pages of your site together (ie, linking your pages internally)
The structure of how you link your pages together within your website has an impact on the overall SEO of your website.
The main effect that internal linking has on SEO if that search engine spiders can only access and index additional pages within your site by following the links that you create.
So, if you have a very poor internal linking structure within your Homepage then the search engines may only be able to index a small number of the pages that your site actually contains. This will subsequently reduce the potential for your site receiving a good position within the search engines for specific keyword terms.
Good internal linking creates good usability for website visitors due to how easy it is for them to find certain pages and information within the site. Therefore, it is vital that the internal linking within your site is as effective as possible.
