Internal linking: the 10-minute SEO multiplier

Internal links are votes you cast yourself. Every new page: three links out, two old pages linked back, descriptive anchors — hubs with spokes, never orphans.

What is the short answer?

Link every new page to three old ones and update two old ones to link back. Internal links are votes you cast yourself — free, instant, and fully in your control. Most sites leave this power unused while begging for external links.

What is the ten-minute routine?

After publishing: three out, two back, all descriptive. Three links from the new page to relevant old pages with keyword-rich anchors. Two old pages updated to link forward. "Click here" never — anchors that say what waits.

What structure wins?

Hubs with spokes, not chains. Pillar pages linking to cluster posts and back, siblings cross-linked where genuinely relevant. Google reads the graph: dense topical clusters signal authority; orphan pages signal neglect.

How do you find orphans?

Crawl quarterly, list zero-inbound pages, link or kill. Every important page deserves inbound links from within. Orphans either earn links or earn deletion — a smaller, tighter site outranks a sprawling disconnected one.
