Interlink Your Blog Posts
This is a basic tip for beginner bloggers that should become a standard procedure whenever you write new blog posts. Each time you write a new post think back to your previous posts and if there is an article you wrote that is relevant to the current one make sure you link to it. This can be simply referring them to the article as extra reading on the same topic at the end of the blog entry or perhaps as a citation style reference within the text to define or explain a term or idea mentioned.
Linking to your own blog posts is called interlinking. Make sure you use the full URL of the post when you link and if possible use smart linking text (anchor text) that includes good keywords and descriptions, not just “click here for more information” or similar generic phrases or words.
Help Yourself To More Traffic
Interlinking is a smart practice for two main reasons -
1. It increases your pageviews, which means each person that visit your blog will stay longer and read more of your work.
2. It helps with your search engine rankings. Google and other search engines follows these links and although they are part of the same website they still count as backlink votes. As you may already know, backlinks, which are incoming links to your blog pages, are important to help your blog get good search rankings and bring in search traffic.
