We all know that backlinks are valuable to improve your Google rankings. But it’s tough getting them.

So that’s why internal links are something worth looking into. You have 100% control over them and they can be used to pass PageRank to your pages, effectively boosting rankings.

By strategically building the authority of a page through multiple internal links, you can significantly enhance the rankings of other important pages on your website.

In this video, we delve into the three key ingredients that make this strategy work:

► Backlinks to the linking page which contribute to a page's authority, also known as PageRank.
► Matching searcher intent: it's important to align your page's content with the intent of searchers.
► Competing against manageable competitors: choose competitors that are realistically within reach and share a similar level of authority.

Next, we guide you through the process of finding internal link opportunities. We suggest creating a list of important pages on your website that you want to rank higher in Google, based on their business value and traffic potential.

We provide three methods to discover relevant pages to link from: site search in Google, Ahrefs' Site Audit, and the Best By Links report in Ahrefs' Site Explorer. Finally, we recommend tracking your keywords using a rank tracking tool to assess the impact of internal links on your rankings.

Internal linking isn't solely about passing PageRank but also enhances user experience by providing visitors with relevant resources. While internal links are powerful, other strategies such as acquiring external backlinks or updating content may be necessary for significant ranking improvements.

I really enjoyed this video and learnt a lot! I have a question: if you had a business directory and business owners were adding their business listings, including their URL, would this increase your domain authority? Thank you, Craig.

I watched the whole SEO beginners course and something has been bothering my mind since then...

When building external links, working as a freelancer SEO who doesn't write the content of the pages, should I contact directly the other page owners and ask them to analyze the content and maybe link to the page or should I just give all the info to my client and he'll send the e-mail?

It seems much more personal when the owner contacts the owner instead of a third part employee, but at the same time, I won't build any connections.

Awesome video! Internal link is still a backlink that you don't have to pay anyone for linking to your site. Just have a contextual long tail keyword internal links

[Loanappskenya]

Hi Sam..I like your staff you teach me a lot... thanks for the consistency...now i have a question... A page ranking on the first page just linked back to my article ranking with the same keyword that got them number one. Is that something to celebrate about or get scared? What do you think about that?

When you internally link, do you link in one direction only i.e. up the hierarchy, or is it bi-directional. Thanks

Ahrefs Credits: Does anyone have problem with Ahrefs credits system as they are offering only 500 credits, which it does not takes a lot of search's to use up. This one sample how they charge for credits ( 1 credit is consumed whenever they open a report, apply filters or request additional data).

So chat gpt will kill seo and content ?

[rogerbruce]

internal links have not helped me much :(

[Accuface]

You focused too much on promoting your tools than actual internal linking methods, which decreased the value of your video

[bslmarketing]

Overexplaining for the sake of view time is absolutely annoying and makes me never want to watch any of your other videos, also makes me dislike your video. If you're going to title a video, make sure the video content actually matches the title instead of stuffing fluff time of you yapping away to only help yourself. SMH!
