Project Description
Your existing pages that have established authority can help you build an internal linking strategy and improve your SEO by using the following tips. Group and link all pages to topic clusters and pillar pages. Adding keywords in anchor text is important but don’t use the same anchor text keywords in different content (it can confuse the search engines). Link low performing pages to help increase their authority and these internal mentions should appear earlier in each article (with external links towards the bottom). Finally, make sure to internally link your new articles in old content.
