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.

Outbound links
Hi everyone, Just a quick question about using info/statistics from other sources in my articles. If I use a quote/piece of info from another online article do I just say where it's from and link to it? Is this acceptable or do you have to get permission? I find the whole permissions thing quite confusing! I know that outbound links are good for SEO so just wanted to check this. Thanks!

Dynamic links & duplicate content
Hi there, I am putting a proposal together for a client whose website has been optimised to include many dynamic links and so there are many pages with duplicate content: only the page title, h1 and URL is different. My client thinks this isn't an issue. What is the current consensus on this? Many thanks in advance.

OMG! does Google really consider text-decoration:none as a hidden link?
So I was reading this article today https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/hidden-links/ Can setting a link to the same color as regular text and applying text-decoration:none really be considered a 'hidden link'?

Outbound links. External Links.
I have been reading alot on SEO and there is something confusing about having "Outbound links. External Links." on your main ranking page. Some say that We shouldn't have any out bound links. (from Random website) According to Yoast, we should have outbound links. (yoast.com) we should have outbound links but we should add the "no-follow" tag. (from Random website) Q: What should i do and follow?

International Website(s)
I have an e-commerce site currently selling in Canada and am now looking to branch it into the USA. We have both the .ca and .us domain names, but I am not sure what the best approach to this would be. If we put up a website on the .us domain name it would be virtually the same.. So I would assume we would have a duplicate content issue. What would be the best way to approach this type of situation?

Lists of Product Links: What is good, what is bad?
I am a web designer but a bit of an SEO noob (trying to get better at both). I am working with one particular client on a site I inherited with existing structure. This client has about 10 products on 2 pages. On every page there is a product list that is basically the same list sorted in 2 ways: 1st by product, 2nd by usage. These all link to internal anchors so this might be an example on www.site.com Cleaner X1 - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x1

Cleaner X2 - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x2
Cleaner X3 - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x3
...
Cleaner For Brick - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x1
Cleaner For Marble - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x2
Cleaner For Stone - links to www.site.com/cleaners.php#x3 Obviously this adds about 20 links on every page on the site (including the actual pages these products are on). What are your thoughts on this? Good idea or bad to have on the site? Should I remove the redundant links on the actual page that product falls on...or is this bad and should be removed altogether?0 -
