    If you are getting a link from another site then it's better to get a link
    from within some text that's related to your site because search engines
    give more weight to these types of links.

    He wasn't asking about external links.

    He was asking about internal links. Links that point from one page to another within his own domain.

    If you have already interlinked your pages with a menu or from the footer, I see no advantage to adding anymore.

    Because it involves the use of different anchor text. Don't ignore the importance of doing this.

    Heh? Nice question.

    1. SEO - Adds PR to the page you're linking to. If you know how to arrange inside links you can manipulate which pages will have higher PR than others.
    2. SEO - You can add in links with keywords in your anchor text. You can do this if you want to promote your other keywords so you can rank in them as well.
    3. VO (Visitor Optimization) - Helps your visitors navigate your site if they want more information regarding a certain concept or term.
    4. Blackhat SEO protection - protects you from scrapers. When someone scraped your content through RSS, they'll be linking back to your blog - free backlinks.

    Internal linking is very important as it builds the foundation for internal PR calculation. But the anchor text of links in the content create a higher SEO rep than menu links. In addition, you can add the title attribute for an additional advantage(~)

    It is because you target different search terms. :D You just don't focus to one anchor text but to several or even many. :)

    It is my understanding the the most important part about inner links is the fact that it will help you increase your PR for certain pages...

    Internal text links can help you: 1) build relevancy of a page to a keyword phrase, 2) increase the PR of an internal page and 3) improve your site's stickiness.

    I'd keep them all interlinked with a menu or footer, if not display 25-30 links per page so the engines can crawl them. If you have too many links per page you can get penalized.

    Yes, you will get benefits of anchor texts and also your web page will be visitor friendly. In menu i think you have not placed links of all your pages available in site, so for inner pages, internal linking is very helpful.
