Internal Linking
-
Okay, if I write 10 different articles on my site that are related to one of my products. Can I safely have a link in every article to my product?
-
I would do one time on a page.

Hi Azguy
If you were to write an article and the written content contained huge amounts of links out then it can become less legible (depending on the styling used for hyperlinks) so from a usability perspective I wouldn't recommend that.
As the other responders suggest if you are just adding a few links to the article then that is sensible from an SEO standpoint but is also helpful to the website visitor who may naturally be interested in the product or service you mention in the article. Without the link they may have to go looking for the product/service page themselves whereas providing them easier access to the product makes a conversion more likely

Definitely. Use good consistent anchor text! Helps determine relevancy and importance of the product page!
-
How many times in a paragraph that contains the phrase "putting accuracy" should you be linking ? Just once, or for every mention of the phrase ?
-
Thanks, that's what I thought.
-
This is a smart thing to do.

Yes
If you have the x1000 Pro Golf Club that increases putting accuracy, then every time you talk about putting accuracy in any article you can link to the page. It is a perfectly common and recommended practice.
The most common example I can think of is wikipedia. You will notice anytime you type a phrase which is the name of another wiki page the anchor link is automatically created.

Internal Duplicate Content/Canonical Issue/ or nothing to worry about
Unfortunately, my developer cannot give me an answer to this so I really do hope someone can help. The homepage of my website is http://www.laddersfree.co.uk however I also have a page http://www.laddersfree.co.uk/index.php that has a page rank and essentially duplicates the home page. Does someone know what this is? Do I need to get my developer to do a 404? It is worrying that he has not come back to me. Thanks Jason

Question Re Cornerestone Page And Anchor Text For Internal/External Links
Suppose I create a cornerstone page with the targeted keyword "Dog Collars". I write a dozen articles on various dog collars and point a link from each article to my cornerstone page. Should the anchor text for the links from each of those articles to the cornerstone page be "Dog Collars" or should they vary, but still be relevant to "Dog Collars" for best SEO? Should half of them be "Dog Collars" and the other half various? Also, if I have 12 articles and all of the anchor text is already "Dog Collars", should I go back and change them so that they all don't say the same thing? If hope my question makes sense ... thanks in advance. I will give thumbs up for helpful responses and suggestions 😉

PANDA Attack: Too many on page links
Hey guys! I have a bit of a dilemma...one of my sites got hit by Panda 😞 The content itself contains about 10 links, however since the site is a process directory, at the bottom of the page you will find that the visitor can also browse process directory by name or page and then beneath this there are 80 links :s My concern is that if i remove this I will lose internal link juice! HELP! What approach should I take? I was thinking of either reducing the number of links OR hiding it by using Java ORRRR removing the links entirely. Advice anyone? This is a page as an example: http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/csrsc/25349/ All pages are like this!

Anyone know of a tool to monitor site for outgoing links?
Is there any type of tool that can monitor a large website's outgoing links? I'm dealing with a huge site and was hoping there was something available that could check outgoing links without having to go through each page manually. (I'm looking to remove anything that links to a bad neighborhood). Thanks.

Limiting On Page Links
Right now, we have about 160 or so links on the home page. It's been recommended that we keep it to under 100, though that's not as big of a deal as it once was. Is it helpful to make a bunch of those links "nofollow" in order to preserve link juice? Is it going to make a difference, or be at all helpful? I assume it won't be harmful, especially as a bunch of them are to the same page but on different sections of the page. Would live your advice and thoughts! Thanks!

Randomly Generated Links & Passing PageRank
Hi all, If you were to have links that were randomly generated on each refresh, how would they be treated? I would imagine that they are treated normally and isolated to each crawl. So Google would just see the link structure changing from crawl to crawl and therefore give no long term value to these links. Any ideas? Thanks for your responses! Nick
