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.

Several Links in Some Pages
Dear all, Our main site is a bussiness directory, and following some SEO advices, we are creating landing pages for each category, in order to optimize them for the keywords. Those landing pages have links to the listings related to them. Using the same idea, we have created pages related to the regions, and those pages include links to the listings located in them. The only problem that I see with that, is the number of links that some categories or regions could have. Is there a limit of recomended number of links per page, from a SEO perspective? We also have a main category page, that includes a list of all categories, and this page could also have a relatively high number of links. The pages have around 300 to 500 words, some include also images, some include videos. Many thanks for your help, Daniel

How to handle lots of outbound links
I decided to create a page on my website where I would list all of my favorite resources and 3rd party tools. There are now 35 links in the main content section of the page, all with anchor text, pointing to websites in my industry. My question is this: what is the best practice here? Should I add nofollow tags to the links? Should I do something else to indicate that these links shouldn't be crawled? Frankly, I don't mind passing some link juice to these tools (in this case, and from this particular website), but I might make a different decision with a client's website. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Here is the page I'm referring to, in case anyone wants to look: http://willmarlow.com/resources-2/the-digital-marketing-toolbox/. Thanks!

To Many Links On Page
I'm having a problem on a crawl warning for our main site. The warning is that every one of my pages has to many links, a little over 1,000 on almost all of them. I think this is because our category list on our left hand sidebar has so many categories, and that sidebar appears on every last one of our pages even all the way into our products. Can anyone take a look and tell me if this is the reason why and what I could possibly do about this? Thanks in advance! www.Ocelco.com

Linking within Secondary Site
So we've got a secondary site that has quite a bit of authority & links that used to have all types of info on parasailing. All those pages are gone and homepage is now a salespage (management decision, not mine) Our main site sells a wide range of tours and activities and does have a page for parasailing. The secondary site uses the same template/navigation as our main site (again, not my decision). Do you think that's an effective way to send link juice to our main site? The secondary site has some pretty awesome high authority sites linking to it. I've considered 301'ing the whole site to our main site but it's got a really solid domain name and I'd like to take up 2 SERP listings (main and secondary site) Is there a better way to have double listings but still send a good amount of link juice?

Eliminating outbound links for long tail-targeting pages
I have a number of pages that rank on the 1st page for highly long tail phrases, despite the pages having outbound links to things like 'privacy policy' 'terms of use', make a payment, etc...all pages that can be accessed from the home page. Do you recommend I eliminate these administrative pages from the long tail-targeting pages, to reduce outbound page rank flow? Does anyone create a different breadcrumb navigation or remove one altogether for pages that are highly targeted to improve their rank?
