Best way to interlink pages in a website?

What do SE bots see a easy to navigate way in a website? Interlink every page with every other page by having the same navigational menu on every page, or like this:

page A links to page B
page B links to page C
page C links to page D
...

what i think is your internal link should be in such a way that your all pages are crawled but care should be taken that no loop created between two pages.
eg
if your site has 10 pages 1 to 10 ok than
1-2 and 1-3
2-4 and 2-5
3-6 and 3-7 you can give 3-4 and 3-5 also coz no looping is there

like that there will be created one tree.and at last give link to first page.it may happen that crawler can enter through any page in your site.

 

Every page should link to the homepage and every other main page. For less than 20 pages each page should link to all the others.

 

Interesting thing to worry about, I've only ever used sitewide navigation links.

 

But by this way a single page may have more than 3 links that is not advisable.

 

May I know where did you know this from?

According to Google Webmaster Guidelines:

As long as there are under 100 links (total) per page, you will be fine.

As long as all the pages are linked from one another (via text links), you will be ok

 

i think you should link the pages randomly.

 

What? Thats just plain wrong.

 

Typically I organize content in a hierarchical structure such as:

[FONT="Courier New"]
                            Home
                  ------------------------
                  |          |           |
               Section1   Section2   Section3
                  |                      |
       -------------------         ------------------
       |        |        |         |        |       |
    S1/Sub1  S1/sub2  S1/Sub3   S3/Sub1  S3/Sub2   S3/Sub2[/FONT]

Code (markup):

At each page & level you need to present the user with a URL cookie trail that allows them to easily move around the site. For instance if a user was viewing page S1/Sub3 the cookie trail would be:

Home -> Section1

In addition, the page should also contain links to the other sections that are peers to it's parent and in the case of page S1/Sub1:

Section2 & Section3

And finally if the pages are somewhat related there should be some links to it's peers at the same level:

S1/Sub2 & S1/Sub3

This architecture provides users with intuitive navigation, points the SE crawlers to the pages you want them to index and evenly distribute your PageRank. And finally if you choose targeted keywords for the anchor text you can also help establish the relevancy and theme of the destination pages.

 

Why not also have a site-map? Off course GOOGLE prefers that if your site-map incorporates more than 100 links to have multiple pages.

Links to your sitemap should be on more than just the main page.
