@@AhrefsCom much appreciated. Thank you so much for considering my request. I am excited to learn SEO from the SEO tools developer and expert so that we can put the AHREFs SEO tool to regular practice. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, 🙏😇😁
Thanks Sam 👍 Another important reason for internal links, is for the user to navigate the site, which helps get more page views and time on site. Keep up the good work ahrefs team 👍👍👍
I personally loves thie strategy... my 5 other pages are ranking good after i linked them from my top ranking pages ... Sam you are the osm tutor. i love your content
Really easy,smart and very comfortable manner of teaching,but i have a question:i understand about internal links and tools but how we are able to link them directly ? is there any additional tool ? :/
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
I really like the internal link strategy, from a long time ago, which I didn't know about, internal link (power effect) VS external link (backlink) (power effect), tell me?
Hello. I am new to website building. Currently, I am building a roofing website for a friend. What do I type on my computer to link (is this a hyper link?) each of my service pages to the home page? (On page seo). Thank you.
Thank you for the information! I have a question, you say that linking helps Google find new pages. But if you put a nofollow link behind an anchortext does Google then stay on your website?
Great one! Suppose I have three different silos, Shirts, Caps, and Trousers. So can I interlink a post from Shirts silo into a post that belongs to Caps silo and Trousers silo? Like can we interlink one silo to another?
I often see high ranking websites just write here's other posts by us then list related posts. Is that a fine way to do internal linking or will Google see that as spammy?
Thank you for the good information. While watching the video, I have a question. Is it better to use no-fellow to connect with other sub-topics that are not deeply related to the content topic? ex) How to use torrents in MacBooks and How to download Photoshop from Mac.
@@yeres_0389 Nofollow has nothing to do with Google's understanding of the page. It is simply a statement that you don't want to pass power to the page you are linking to. Therefore, no need to do it for internal links doesn't matter where they point.
Did I understand this wrong? Sam said in the video that the purpose was to add an internal link to the blog "Searcher Intent: TheOverlooked 'Ranking FactorYou Should Be Optimizing For", but it was actually to add an internal link to the blog "How to Find and MapKeywords to the Buyer's".
We wanted to add a link TO our "Search intent" guide FROM other relevant pages on our blog. We found the "How to Find and Map Keywords to the Buyer's Journey" and placed a link FROM that guide TO our "Search intent" guide. Hope it clarifies a bit 🙏 -Helen
Hi Sam! I have an enquire..When i link from a high authority page to pass strength to some relevant,newer and less authoritative pages, should i 1) add a link from the high authority page to the less authoritative pages 2)then add reciprocal links between these less authoritative pages and 3) after link back again from each one to the high authority page?
It's hard to say without looking at the actual pages, but the basic idea of internal links is adding a highly relevant links to pages, no matter if they're reciprocal or not. -Helen
hola , tengo una consulta. para que un link pueda pasar fuerza a otra web, necesita que los usuarios hagan clic con regularidad o solamente basta con que exista ese link??
Hey Sam. Few months back I watched one of your videos, which talked about how to search top ranking pages by specific Affiliate link format, in ahrefs tool. Could you please guide which video it was?
I have a question related to a large majority of blogs. Is this standard blog structure which takes, say 200 blog posts and organizes them in many different ways (categories, month, keywords, etc) so you end up with a multitude of organization structures all with the same content, good for SEO??? To me, it seems like a bad idea. Thanks!
@@AhrefsCom Thanks. Think about the little guy who is just using DEFAULT and free blog themes. I need a straight answer not a link to the ideal structure (which is not realistic in my case). Let me reformulate my question: if you look at the standard (99%) structure of small blogs (built by little guys on free themes -beginners), there is a huge amount of redundancy. For instance there is a tremendous amount of redundancy between categories, date groups, keywords, tags, etc. Google is trying to index those pages but of course there are too many to index. Is that a problem??? Would it be better to just have categories/sub-categories and no tags/tagcloud, no searchable dates, no keywords, etc? Is the internal search box useful, or it just throws a money wrench in the SEO gear? If I write an airplane design series of blogs for instance , the posts will be category "mechanics", "aerodynamics", "navigation", "tools and machinery", etc and also there will be included in 50-100 tags ("wing", "engine", "airframe", etc). Even if I have only categories for instance (no other grouping, or sillo-ing), there will be a lot of cross content being included in 2-5 categories at the same time. My blog is www.excelunusual.com Thanks!
is this different from topic clustering? or is it the same? Also, you mentioned that I should link from my 'primary post/targeted keyword' to my relevant posts and from relevant posts, back to my primary post. THe question here is, is it ok to also link from my relevant posts to the other relevant posts as well? Example, page 1 is primary, page 2,3,4 are relevant, should I link page 2 to 3 to 4 as well or just link from primary to relevant and from relevant back to primary?
In the topic of link building, there is one unanswered question for me and that is should I or do I have to link from one page to the other, and then link from the other page to the first one?
@@AhrefsCom So in that case both pages help each other to gain higher rank? Until now I just linked from the stronger pages to the ones I wanted to give the power of that page.
Hello Sir actually I was doing keyword research for recipe website but after clicking in tools for a keyword it is showing me 17lakhs but when I visit last page means 22 it's showing me only 240 results how its possible sir ?

I just want to use my Homepage link as an inbound link all over my site..cause for now I just want to rank my homepage..not the other pages of my site...is that possible?
Not exactly sure what you mean. You want to use your homepage to internally link to all your pages? If so, it depends on how many other pages you have. - SQ
@@AhrefsCom I have 11 pages in total and from those pages, there are three pages that have 60 subpages..each of them has 20 pages...I have put the link on those subpages of the main page....and I put my home page link to that main page..Example: home←main page←20 subpage

@@AhrefsCom That URL isn't in the description, and it isn't in the video. One uses one initiative to go to ahrefs.com/ and look at the services available (Tools menu) ... all of which are via a fee. May I recommend that you amend the description to add the URL?
