    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior.  My website is www.hindimeaning.com  which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts.

    Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.)

    I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links.

    If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links.

    Thanks,

    Mahesh Kumar

      well some of them are and your navigation which obviously should contain internal URLs does contain internal URLs. I am sending a screenshot of one of your widgets and a look at the actual URL which is an internal URL as your other widgets contained the same domain "hindimeaning.com" they are internal URLs as well.

      here is a screenshot below of your entire home page sorry if it looks strange my browser is dragged pretty wide.

      Regardless it looks like you using a Genesis 1 framework is this correct?

      Go into appearance then widgets you will see the URLs and be able to modify them to your liking.

      So far I have not seen external URLs meaning from another domain.

      I hope this is helpful,

      Thomas

          popular posts and related posts are dynamic so they would not show up as URL's when you say widgets

          you mean the widgets containing the URLs that make up most of the website as I have only seen two pages but they look very similar.

          this Would not allow me to click on the other URL until after the video that's what the second link is for

          http://cl.ly/ZkJn

          http://cl.ly/Zk4r

          your widgets contain URLs

          could you please rephrase the question and take note that the code I looked at is not ideal.

            When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?

            We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us.  The links are from relevant websites and topics.  Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

            How can I find the best sites to guest post on while linking back to my article?

            Whats the best way to find sites to guest blog on. There are just so many and I don't want to make bad choices so my current rankings don't get hurt

            What benefit does a site with a low DA get from someone guest posting who links to a site with a high DA?

            I'm relatively new to link building and although this may be an obvious question I can't seem to find an answer anywhere even after searching Google.

            Too many links in my blog post created by comments. Should I worry?

            Every year, we do a popular "Favourite pictures of the year" contest where people vote on the best picture (i.e: their mate's) in order to win something. But I just found that I'm going way over the "Too many links" limit and I think it's because of all the comments. 1. Is it a problem 2. Is there a way to de-activate the links? Thank you! 🙂 Ioan

            Does linking to a subdomain give link juice to the main domain?

            I have a few domains that I'm going to use for link building, will the link juice from the sub domains transfer to the main domain?

            What's the difference between follow and nofollow links?

            I understand this may be a really dumb question and from my understanding there is a piece of code in some url's that tell search engines not to follow that link. I am interested in finding out what the purpose of nofollow links are and how they apply to search rankings. Thanks for the help

            I just ran https://www.majesticseo.com report for back links and showed me that I have one link at porn site ... not sure if it will be appropriate to post it here. The link was discovered on 03.05.11 and when I visited today link is not there... I dont know who put that link there. Can I get penalty for that from google? Can it be a mistake?
