If i have 6 posts in a niche site, i want each one to rank for separate keyword. Should i internal link all of them together?
-
I have the following posts
- X + Word-1 + Y
- X + Word-2+ Y
- X + Word-3 + Y
- X + Word-4 + Y
- X + Word-5 + Y
- X + Word-6 + Y
Should i internal link them all to each other? I want each post to rank for its keyword
-
Yes absolutely.
I'm sorry if my answer wasn't clear on that point but yes it's almost always better for rankings to have more internal links pointing to pages and if it's better for users too, then it's the best move all around.

It will be useful for users but Is it better for SEO to rank these keywords?

If it makes sense to a site visitor that you would be linking these articles together, then the answer for sure is yes.
Adding internal links from each of these pages to each other will help pass the PageRank around your site. Furthermore, if you use keywords in the anchor text, you could help the linked-to pages to be more relevant for those keywords.
I would suggest testing using a few variations of each keyword as the anchor text. For example, use the exact phrase as the anchor text from page B, C, D, E and F linking to page A and monitor your ranking for that phrase after all the changes on all the pages have been indexed by Google. Then change the anchor text on pages D, E and F to some variation of the main keyword. Once all those changes have been indexed by Google see if your ranking for the main phrase is better or worse off and also check to see if you rank better for the variations that you used on pages D, E, and F.

Dofollow OR nofollow for internal links
We recently changed our wordpress site and I have noticed that in the new theme all the internal links are set to nofollow. I understand that Google might not decide page rankings based on internal links but isn't it good practice to do a follow on internal links to highlight the relative importance of a page

Target keyword appears in organization name. Does it Rank?
I want to rank for the keyword "breast cancer" so when someone uses the anchor text "The Breast Cancer Foundation" am I getting a backlink for both The Breast Cancer Foundation AND breast cancer? Does Google break apart the anchor text in any way that would benefit me in this case?

What's a reasonable time to start ranking for a niche site?
I launched a niche site to go through the whole process, for fun and profit. Started with keyword research (3-6 word long tail keywords), have done first 3 posts and done minimal amount of link building. Have gotten about a dozen visitors in the first 5 weeks and ranking on page 2. Is this ok or should I be more aggressive with link building (assuming my keyword research is done ok)?

Most OSE Top Links Are Internal
If I run an OSE report and check the 'top links' tab, I find that 95% of the links are internal pages on the same root domain. Can I deduce from this that my link profile sucks, and is in need of serious improvement? Thanks.
