Key Takeaways
- The Pillar-Cluster Model
- Anchor Text Best Practices
- Fixing Orphaned Pages
Internal links connect pages on the same website, distributing authority and helping search engines discover and understand your content. A strategic internal linking structure is one of the most underutilized SEO tactics.
The Pillar-Cluster Model
Hub pages (pillar content) should link to all supporting cluster articles. Each cluster article should link back to its pillar and to other relevant articles within the cluster. This creates a clear semantic map for search engines.
Anchor Text Best Practices
Use descriptive, keyword-rich anchor text that tells both users and search engines what the linked page is about. Avoid generic anchors like "click here" or "read more" — these waste SEO value.
Fixing Orphaned Pages
Orphaned pages have no internal links pointing to them and receive no authority from other pages. Audit for orphaned pages monthly and link to them from relevant existing content.
