As we enter "link:www.domain.com" on google, we see many internal links. And when we try to add the number of high-quality external links, we find that the ranking of our keywords have not increased significantly.
Internal Links are really useful. However, we also need to do external links...external links are more important for your ranking.
Under normal circumstances, the internal link is to enhance the user experiences. Many search engines declared that a site with good user experience will be ranked higher. Does this mean we have to strengthen internal links? Or we need to improve the user experience from other areas
its important in a way its a part of your link structure.. and that's where bots crawled around your site, so its definitely important..
Having a good internal link structure helps all your pages easily be crawled by search engines and also helps users to simply find the page they want to look for.
I want to do an experiment Now: added a large number of internal links can improve the keyword's ranking. One month later, I will tell you the result.
Inbound link are also valuable for their anchor text they got. I have added many internal link one month ago. But google still haven't read them.
It should be opposite instead. Internal link has a much lower weight compared to link from another website because it is very easy to manipulate. You can have as many as you wants while the link from outside is different. Internal link used to be more important but not anymore.
I agree with Sxperm. The way Google interprets internal versus external is that you have full control over internal links, anchor text, position in the sentence, surrounding words, position on a page, and so on. So, these things are what *you* say about your target page. When an external page links to you, it is what *someone else* says about your target page. So, G relies more on what someone else says. That is a very general rule of course. We all know that external links can be manipulated. And, they can be purchased. And, they can be from trust worthy sites or sites that are not trusted at all. Natural links from trusted sites in your same business (industry) have the greatest benefit of all links.
internal links matter for visitors on your site,and for google to index your pages.for example if you have a link on home page the power of your site will go to that link too,divided of course . but to get power to your site you need external links
