If Your Pages Aren’t Talking to Each Other, Your SEO is Dying in Silence
Why Internal Linking Is the Most Underrated Power Move in SEO
Let’s be blunt.
You can publish all the blogs you want.
You can optimize titles, add keywords, and write 2,000-word masterpieces…
But if your internal linking structure sucks,
Google won’t understand your site, your users will bounce, and your rankings will stay flat.
Internal linking isn’t just a “technical SEO checklist.”
It’s your site’s content strategy, user journey, and ranking power — all rolled into one.
🧠 What is Internal Linking?
Internal linking is the process of connecting one page of your website to another using clickable links.
Simple, right?
But here’s what it really does:
✅ Helps Google crawl and index your site faster
✅ Passes link equity to high-value pages (hello, rankings)
✅ Builds topical authority
✅ Enhances UX by guiding users deeper into your funnel
✅ Keeps visitors on-site longer = lower bounce rate
Think of it as your website’s internal highway system —
Without it, users (and Google) get lost.
🚨 How Most Businesses Are Screwing It Up
❌ Random links with no strategy
❌ Orphan pages no one ever finds
❌ Overloading with anchor text like “click here” or “read more”
❌ No content hierarchy or silos
❌ Only linking from the homepage or nav — never deep within blogs
If your internal links aren’t planned — they’re pointless.
