For example, you are currently reading an article on our website that has links inserted to provide more information on topics such as <a href=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/en\/seo-agency-montreal\/\">SEO strategies<\/a> (this is an internal link!). Internal links enable <strong>internet users and search engines to navigate from one page to another on the same website<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating internal links may seem unimportant, because well-designed websites usually have <strong>menus and sub-menus that lead to the site\u2019s various pages<\/strong>. The links in these menus are also considered internal links.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Capture-decran-2021-01-29-a-13.59.24.png\" alt=\"exemple menu et sous-menu maillage interne\" class=\"wp-image-17948\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, newly created web pages and articles may not be added to a menu immediately. In the meantime, it will be difficult for internet users who don\u2019t know the exact URL to find the page. Therefore<strong>, when you create a new page, it\u2019s important to make sure it can be found and accessed easily<\/strong> (unless you think it adds no value to your website \u2013 but in that case, why create it in the first place? ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a website with hundreds of thousands of products such as Amazon must be extremely well-organized so that visitors can find the products they\u2019re looking for. That\u2019s partly why Amazon has so many <strong>categories and sub-categories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Capture-decran-2021-01-29-a-14.01.18.png\" alt=\"cat\u00e9gories et sous cat\u00e9gories pour maillage interne\" class=\"wp-image-17946\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you can see, internal linking and page navigation are things you need to start thinking about from the moment you create your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why optimize your internal linking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal links are a way to encourage internet users to stay on a website longer. If there are <strong>multiple links on every page that make it easier for internet users to navigate to what interests them, they will spend more time on your website<\/strong> and Google will notice it more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal links also <strong>boost your SEO<\/strong> by improving your <strong>domain authority<\/strong>. <strong>They transmit \u201clink juice\u201d from one page to another<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Page authority<\/strong> (PA) and domain authority are scores search engines give pages and entire domains <strong>based on their popularity and credibility<\/strong>. MozBar is a tool that allows you to see these scores directly on Google results pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/magasin-de-fleurs-montreal-Recherche-Google.png\" alt=\"maillage interne et autorit\u00e9 de page exemple\" class=\"wp-image-17952\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>If a page is considered authoritative, internal links on that page can benefit from its authority <\/strong>to rank better on search engines. For example, if you have a page with a PA of 50 and you have 100 internal links on that page, each link will benefit from an equal part of the page\u2019s authority (50\/100=0.5). The more links you have on the page, the smaller their portion of link juice will be, so consider that when deciding how many links to put on your pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, <strong>internal linking can improve the ranking of every page on a website<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"optimisation maillage interne pour votre seo\">How to optimize internal linking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimizing your internal linking isn\u2019t just a question of including links on your pages. In fact, <strong>we recommend that you avoid including too many links on one page, because search engine robots generally can\u2019t analyze more than 250 links per page<\/strong> (a 250-link limit still gives you quite a bit of room to maneuver ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, choose your links carefully and use our 5 tips below for best results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"liens internes pour maillage interne\">1. Insert links in a natural way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Every link that you include on your website needs to be inserted in a natural way. <\/strong>Both internal and external links must bring <strong>added value <\/strong>to your page and<strong> provide visitors with more information on a particular topic. <\/strong>Let\u2019s use this article as an example. Since our current topic is internal linking, we\u2019re not going to insert a link about the weather or real estate (unless weather is explicitly mentioned in the article for some reason and adds value to the content).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a link that\u2019s not natural&nbsp;considering the content:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Capture-decran-2021-02-04-a-14.21.00.png\" alt=\"liens internes naturels article de blogue\" class=\"wp-image-17954\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cMy Little Big Web is a Montreal-based agency that offers web design and marketing services<\/em><em>\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, this sentence, and our agency in general, are not in any way related to a website about factories and heavy industry. This is an example of an unnatural link that has nothing to do with the services our agency offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think this is obvious and goes without saying, but some people will do anything to insert links on their website, even if they make no sense. We advise against including unnatural links, because they may get your website penalized by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pertinence des liens internes pour seo\">2. Choose relevant links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to being<strong> natural<\/strong>, links should also be<strong> relevant to your content<\/strong>. For argument\u2019s sake, let\u2019s say that your website has a page dedicated to dancing and another that\u2019s all about cars. These two pages don\u2019t need to be linked, because they won\u2019t give visitors more information about the topic they\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have a page about hip hop, that might be a relevant link to include on your dancing page.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Comment-choisir-LA-meilleure-agence-SEO.png\" alt=\"pertinence des liens internes\" class=\"wp-image-17956\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you can see on this blog post, every link we have inserted brings added value, providing more information about the topic mentioned in the anchor text. These links provide visitors with access to complementary articles about reasons for using an SEO agency, as well as our SEO agency, web marketing and SEO strategy pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contenu site web maillage interne\">3. Use all of the content on your website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With internal linking, the idea is to link pages on a website to one another as much as possible<\/strong>. It\u2019s best to use all of the content on your website for maximum effect. The best way to keep building internal links is to <strong>have a blog<\/strong>. Writing articles on topics that are relevant to your website will give you lots of opportunities to insert natural links. <strong>Having a blog and updating it regularly are essential aspects of SEO, because Google likes websites that are kept up to date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see below, we update our articles regularly in order to insert new links to articles that have been posted more recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Quest-ce-que-le-SEO-Definitions-et-Explications-MAJ-2021.png\" alt=\"exemple liens internes article SEO\" class=\"wp-image-17958\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In addition to linking blog articles to one another, you can also insert links to service pages and your home page. <\/strong>Having a blog is a great way to create internal links on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to <strong>create optimal internal links<\/strong> for your pages, the writers who work on your website will need to be familiar with all of your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ancres maillage interne pour optimiser son seo\">4. Choose the right anchor text<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When inserting a link on a web page, it\u2019s important to pay attention to the anchor text you use. The anchor text lets both visitors and search engines know what the link is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of anchor text. If we take a look at the HTML code of this link, we see that the words \u201cSEO audit\u201d link to our audit service page.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Modifier-larticle-\u2039-My-Little-Big-Web-\u2014-WordPress.png\" alt=\"texte d'ancre pour les liens internes\" class=\"wp-image-17960\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Modifier-larticle-\u2039-My-Little-Big-Web-\u2014-WordPress-1.png\" alt=\"ancre maillage interne\" class=\"wp-image-17962\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Search engines are getting better and better at understanding the semantics of content <\/strong>and links. Robots can now analyze the text surrounding a link as well as the anchor text itself. That means that even if the anchor text doesn\u2019t match a keyword perfectly, Google will understand the topic of the link based on the context (the text around the link). Therefore, it\u2019s a good idea to <strong>be precise and vary anchor text that leads to the same page<\/strong>. If multiple internal links to a given page have similar anchor text, Google might deem the content over-optimized and penalize it. On the other hand, varied anchor text gives the page in question a better chance of ranking on search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"balises dofollow et nofollow definition et optimisation\">5. Insert&nbsp;\u201cdofollow\u201d&nbsp;and \u201cnofollow\u201d links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As explained at the beginning of the article, one of the main advantages of internal linking is that <strong>the link juice from each link contributes to increasing a page\u2019s authority<\/strong>. Note that links must be dofollow for link juice to be transmitted. Dofollow is an attribute that <strong>lets search engines know that you want the link followed and link juice transmitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, a nofollow link indicates to search engines that you don\u2019t want the link to have any influence. This is a method to consider when adding external links, as it prevents search engines from thinking that you\u2019re selling links on your website. But in order to optimize your internal linking, your own internal links should always be <strong>dofollow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mylittlebigweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Capture-decran-2021-01-29-a-14.47.35.png\" alt=\"balise nofollow maillage interne\" class=\"wp-image-17964\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internal linking to optimize your SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal linking is an essential aspect of SEO. However, it\u2019s important to use care and moderation to avoid getting penalized by Google. So, <strong>keep your number of internal links reasonable and choose them carefully<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that <strong>internal linking is not enough by itself\u2014inbound links are very important as well<\/strong>.
