The importance of internal link building

When running an SEO campaign you may find that you are link building in your sleep! Thinking of new tactics and reading up on all the advice available on one way link building whilst striving to gain links from websites using well devised anchor text.However there are likely to be many unsuccessful attempts to create links and you can soon drum up hours of time building new web pages to support your link building campaigns. One area that is relatively simple to get right is your internal SEO link building.

However,in the main most website owners overlook this area and underestimate the value of getting these links spot on.
Using well devised anchor text on internal links can do much to boost your rankings. One area where you can incorporate anchor text is to use the image’s alternative text. Alternative text is recognised by search engines as the anchor text for an image’s link. The alternative text must relate to the image to be effective or you can be penalised for spamming.

You can gain real value from internal links within the content of a page. Search engines look at content with a level of trust as this is where the web master will have imbedded appropriate and useful links. This is exactly what search engines are looking for. A tip is to ensure that the colour of these links matches the colour of other links throughout the site and that you underline them. Never try to disguise them so that the search engines are clear you are being open and transparent about your link building.

By using appropriate anchor text throughout the site you keep the search engines notified about what your site is about. Your external link building efforts will then help the search engines verify what your internal links are telling them.
