- What's up guys?
So in this video,
I'm gonna teach you my three-step blueprint
for internal link building
that will help boost your rankings with SEO.
Now, this is the exact same strategy
that I've used to grow my site from zero
to over 116,000 visitors in less than 12 months
and you can easily rinse and repeat this process.
So with that, let's jump in.
But before we do, please make sure you subscribe
because my link building videos will boost your rankings,
grow site and increase your traffic with SEO.
Now, this video is important
because the earlier you can improve
your website's architecture,
the better and faster results you're gonna see
with internal link building.
This basically lays the foundation for your site.
It's kind of like for me, I like Muay Thai boxing right?
And as my teacher always says,
you need good habits from the start to lay the foundations
for your learning and future,
otherwise you won't improve.
And it's exactly the same with internal link building.
If you don't have a good website architecture,
if you don't have the right internal links in place,
then chances are you're not gonna see good results with SEO
and all the other hard work you do with content,
with keyword research, with onsite optimization,
It's not gonna help that much
if you don't have an internal link building structure
in place to help grow your site.
So with that, let me teach you my three-step blueprint.
Now, the first step is download
and install a WordPress program
to add related posts to your site.
And this will automatically add links all across your site
so that all of a sudden,
you've got at least three internal links
on every single page on your website.
Now this is just the first stage of the blueprint, okay?
But it's a quick win.
It's is pretty much the 80, 20 rule
when it comes to internal link building.
So it's gonna get 80% of the results
with 20% of the work.
And it takes a couple of minutes
to download and install this.
So once you get this plugin, you install it.
You set how many related posts you want on each page
and what this will do basically is
for every single article on your site,
this will add three related posts at the bottom of the page.
So all of a sudden you've got internal links
to so many more pages on your site
and it's a quick win for internal link building.
Now this isn't a perfect method
and that's why you need the other two steps
in this blueprint.
But what it will do is
help kickstart your internal link building
and how improve your website's architecture
as soon as possible.
Step number two is to install a plugin called Link Whisper
and this is a very powerful plugin
that you can use to quickly figure out, right,
Which pages need more internal links?
Where all your internal links and minutes,
and how can you filter Link Juice
to your most important links?
So for example, you can also see the balance
of internal versus external links here, right?
So you can click between those.
Then also what you can do is check your internal links
on this page, and this will give you a breakdown of,
you know, which pages you have on your website,
when they were published,
the number of inbound internal links,
the number of outbound internal links,
and also the number of outbound external links.
So you can scroll through this list and say, hey you know,
this page, it has no outbound internal links
and it definitely needs some.
So I need to add some more there.
Same for this page, you know, it has a few internal links,
but it actually doesn't have any outbound internal links.
So I need to add more there too.
As you scroll down, you can see quickly
which pages need more internal links,
internally and externally and outbound.
Then also what you can do is set up auto link-building.
I actually don't really use this feature,
but you can do that.
So if you automatically wanna link certain keywords
to certain pages,
then you can do that and just adding keywords here.
So it's a very powerful tool.
Now, if we click on Link Whisper again
and we go to the orphan post section.
Now this is really important because you know,
if you have some pages on your site with no internal links,
then they're pretty much orphaned.
There's no way for Google to search through your site
and to quickly crawl which pages have internal links.
So these are known as orphaned pages
and it's a bad practice really.
So you can see that my site here for example,
it requires a lot more internal links
to the pages that don't have any yet.
And eventually what you wanna do is have a website
with no orphan links because you know,
you want your whole website and your internal architecture
to be very connected, to be easy for Google to crawl
and to make sure that Google understands exactly
which pages are the most important for your site.
So if you were trying to do this manually,
it would take so much time and it would be very difficult
because you know, there's no way
of quickly seeing this information.
That's the way Link Whisper is
such a powerful plugin for WordPress.
So I would definitely recommend it.
It doesn't really cost that much per month
and it will save you hours of frustration.
So it's definitely worth it.
And then what you can do is you can explore
all the orphan links you have on your website,
give it to your VA,
and then your virtual assistant could go off
and add all the internal links to the orphan pages.
Now, the third and final step is to go in
and manually add internal links where necessary
on your pages across your site, okay.
And the thing is when you use Link Whisper
or you use a WordPress plugin,
sure these are fantastic tools, but at the same time,
they're not perfect and that's why you need
to manually add some internal links yourself.
So this could be on the footer, on the navigation,
across your articles.
You have to remember here
that when it comes to internal link building,
you try to indicate to Google
what are the most important pages on your site.
So obviously if you have money pages,
if you have sales pages, if you have view articles
or any sort of pages that make money for your site,
then you want to internally link to those
as much as possible,
simply because it'll funnel or authority
and Link Juice towards the pages
that are most important for your site,
and when you do this,
you're gonna drive more traffic
and more money to the pages that matter most.
And also, it's not just search engine traffic
that's gonna be directed here.
If you can make your website so that it funnels
all of your traffic to your money pages,
well, that works not just for SEO,
but for people coming up social media,
other sources of traffic and it basically turns your website
into a money-making funnel.
Now, the other thing is well,
that you want to manually add links
to the pages you're building backlinks to, okay.
So when you're building backlinks and using off page SEO
to get links to your site, this funnels Link Juice,
AKA authority from other websites to your pages, right?
So what you can do is then filter that Link Juice
to other pages on your site so that they rank higher
and they have more authority
and the best way to do this is with internal link building.
So go for all the pages
that you're building links to right now
and identify where you can add internal links,
what pages you need to add those links to,
and basically map out the best ways
to funnel authority from other sites to yours.
Because if you do that,
your money pages are gonna rank higher on Google
and that means your website's gonna make more profit.
