Internal linking that helps
Connect related articles in a way that helps readers learn and search engines understand your site.

Internal links work best when they answer the reader's natural next question. Randomly linking every mention of a phrase creates noise and weakens the route toward your most important pages.
Put this into practice
- Choose one cornerstone page for each core topic.
- Link supporting articles back to the relevant cornerstone.
- Use descriptive anchor text that previews the destination.
- Add links where context creates genuine curiosity.
- Review orphaned pages once a month.
Take one cornerstone guide and add links to three supporting articles and one next-step page.
Start with a useful first version. Check what works, update what does not, and keep the experience clear for the person visiting your site.
