I just realised I need to start working on my internal linking! As you say I can get keywords in the anchor text which can help google understand the links better.

Thanks for sharing.

Tony, well said. I get frustrated when I hear all the talk about how linking to external sites weakens one’s seo and serp’s….blah blah blah. The fact of the matter is this: You link out to others, they take notice and link back to you. Of course this isn’t some formula or perfect ratio…but it’s life.

Great info Tony! Going to soak it in and utilize it towards my blog too – a lot of things I overlooked. I’ll let my friends know too – keep up the good work and see you on twitter,

Nice post. I think part of the problem is that people are still treating blogs as corporate copy rather than as social media. There are (at least) three related problems with this approach: 1) In corporate copy, you’re really talking *to* the reader, not *with* them, and your aim is to persuade, not to help. 2) Corporate copy tends to avoid linking out ‘cos it sends readers away. When you’re blogging, you can’t see it that way. You need to see linking out more as a learning aid – like a powerpoint presentation or a reference text. If your links out are great, your audience will come back for more. 3) Helping in social media extends beyond educating. It’s about supporting the members of your community. And linking out is one way to do that.

Great post Tony-especially for newcomers to the blogosphere. I would love to see your follow up on the flip side of this argument–is there such thing as too many internal links? Also is there a hierarchy of internal link types? Or should we be concerned with just linking to pages that are ranked well? Any advice you can share on this would be great! Thanks!
