Hi, As I'm not an expert in SEO and stuff, therefore I've a question regarding Pingbacks. My blog comes on the first page when someone searches related to my keywords and I'm happy with that. Thing is, some articles are more popular on my blog and some others are less. So, in order to make people read other articles too, I put a link in the end of the popular post saying, "Also read this - Topic name, description and link". Now is Google going to consider it as a Black Hat SEO technique or penalize me for doing this? I don't want to lose my position in the search engine as most of my traffic comes from Google. I know it may sound dumb, but, I want to clear my doubt. Thanks
You could also try the WP plugin that adds a related articles posts or stories to the pages. Would think creating internal linking would be a violation of anything.
Actually, I'm hosting on wordpress.com. The plugin you mentioned display posts from other wordpress blogs. Also, I want a specific post under a popular one. So is it cool to add internal link to my other post?
