When you add internal links, here are some things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Links should incorporate the keywords\/phrases you\u2019re optimizing for.<\/li>\n<li>Placing links inline with your content helps increase relevancy.<\/li>\n<li>Your site should include a site map, and each page should link to your site map.<\/li>\n<li>For graphical navigation, such as buttons, ALT tags help search engines see them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Interaction:<\/strong>\u00a0 One reason why the Internet is so powerful is because it lets people interact in a virtual space. Interacting with fellow Web users means that you can meet them in the online communities where they spend time. Adding a blog to your site, adding links to blogs or other sites related to your site is a way to interact with like-minded individuals and potential customers. For example, if you\u2019re selling antique car parts, linking to car clubs\u2019 sites or adding a blog that features a restoration project can get users to interact with other hobbyists who are interested in buying your parts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Image Links:<\/strong> If your site has images to partners, vendors, or clients, making the images link to their sites is a way to get links, as well as to establish credibility, particularly if these are well-known names.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Hot rod your efforts with online linking tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Keep in mind that these tools are best used as guidelines, not absolutes, to help you come up with ideas or get a rough idea of how your linking efforts are going.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SEO Book offers a set of linking tools at <a href=\"http:\/\/tools.seobook.com\/link-tools\/\">http:\/\/tools.seobook.com\/link-tools\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The SEO Company also offers 136 linking tools at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seocompany.ca\/tool\/seo-tools.html\">http:\/\/www.seocompany.ca\/tool\/seo-tools.html<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Top online resources about linking, part 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Here are more tried and true linking resources out there to help you get started on linking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beanstalk-inc.com\/articles\/seo\/internal-linking.htm\">http:\/\/www.beanstalk-inc.com\/articles\/seo\/internal-linking.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seochat.com\/c\/a\/Search-Engine-Optimization-Help\/Internal-Linking-Thinking-Inside-The-Box\/\">http:\/\/www.seochat.com\/c\/a\/Search-Engine-Optimization-Help\/Internal-Linking-Thinking-Inside-The-Box\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seobook.com\/archives\/001792.shtml\">http:\/\/www.seobook.com\/archives\/001792.shtml<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sitepronews.com\/archives\/2005\/nov\/7.html\">http:\/\/www.sitepronews.com\/archives\/2005\/nov\/7.html<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smallbusinesssem.com\/small-business-reputation-management\/1230\/\">http:\/\/www.smallbusinesssem.com\/small-business-reputation-management\/1230\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/natural-seo-faq-linking-in-and-out\/6508\/\">http:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/natural-seo-faq-linking-in-and-out\/6508\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Yola makes it easy for you to drive more traffic to your site and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/promoting-your-website.html\">promote your site<\/a>.
