Linking within a website advice please
-
Hi i am working on my site which is a lifestyle magazine and i have been reading about using linking within your own website to help you climb up the search engines. Now i am trying to find out if this is correct information and if so which is the best way to use this.
I have an example page below, as stated i am still working on the site and the site will still take me a few more weeks yet.
http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/soap-gossip/eastenders-fans-not-happy-over-tanya-plot
Now if it is correct that linking from within a site is a good way to climb the search engines, i would like to know how i would do it for this page.
I am looking at climbing the search engines for soap gossip and celebrity news.
I was thinking should i have a line at the bottom saying something like for all the latest celebrity news visit our site or something like this.
any advice would be great

I am not sure what you are asking, but let me try ...
Let's take your home page and the "target page." I would not use the page you specified above as that doesn't have the targeted content. Instead I would use
http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/soap-gossip which could be developed as an excellent landing page for the terms you identified.
On your home page, you might have a line that reads: Want the latest news about your favorite stars; check out our posts on <start link="">celebrity news <end link="">and soap gossip.</end></start>
Elsewhere on your site I would link to the target page with similar content and links, only you might use 'soap gossip' as the anchor text. Some SEOs believe that the content around the link has 'juice" as well ... so you don't necessarily have to use the trageted terms as anchor text.
Does that help?

That is great to hear. How would i on that page use the linking system. I am wanting to gain linking for celebrity news, lifestyle magazine and soap gossip

Internal linking is an effective factor in SEO. Using your targeted phrase as anchor text in a contextually linked content from a strong page(s) is part of that strategy. Navigation links with the targeted phrase are also useful.

Google showing different links in SERPs
Google search results are showing my site links in both URLs, "mydomain.com" and "https://mydomain.com". However the one with https is showing a favicon, and the other one is not. So i wanna keep the https one and remove the other one. I went to GSC to submit "mydomain.com" for removal and it said that URL will be deleted in ALL of its variations.So how do i delete the "mydomain.com" links? Should i just index the ones with https again? Would that work? Someone suggested me to do 301 redirect on all pages that are being displayed twice. But i am not sure if i need to do that since i am using squarespace, and both of the links lead to the same page?

Does my website need a search bar?
We're redesigning our agency website and during development we noticed our current design doesn't feature a mock up for a search bar. It was a simple oversight, but it got me thinking how valuable it really is. I noticed the Moz blog doesn't have a search bar (unless I'm blind) and was wondering who else has made the decision to get rid of it. We have a blog of almost 400 posts over the course of three years, unsure if that sways the decision in either direction. Is it better to just focus on good SEO instead of relying on a search bar nowadays? Opinions appreciated!

A large News Media Group has a News Vortal and 3 magazines (for kids,health,fashion)
All those different mediums have their content in independant websites (since the branding of all 5 Medium is very strong).
My question is how to croslink them editorially for seo purposes?
Is it ok if i put a news box at every magazine site?
Should i create links to news articles or to news categories or both?
