Re: I'm stuck by internal linking.
What structure should a football website follow? Silo or Topic Cluster?
I need advice on my website. My website: https://tipbongda247.net/
I hope there are answers!
Thanks -
@JoelX Thanks for the tips. I'm going to apply these to my site. One other question - for a site where I have a page like https://guruseoservices.com/seo-services/ and then I want to create a page per city should I create this structure maintaining a flat URL structure --> /%city%-%state/province%-seo-services page or shift to a more siloed structure such as /%state%/%city%/%service% structure?

@joelx said in Interal linking:
@thanhdung0906 For your site, I would suggest going with Silo as this will give you more flexibility to have a well optimized internal linking structure on your website.
Silo Content structure will also make it easier for the Google bots to crawl and index your website more efficiently, as well as help users to follow the clear path which will ultimately improve the website usability.@SeanAliGrowME You can definitely try to create some great blog posts around the topic or services you offer and include internal links to the Calgary SEO landing page. You can also try to create some internal linking from the different pages like Our Story, Digital Marketing, etc.
@honorway The best approach to handle the internal linking for a larger website is using Google Analytics and Search Console data. We would recommend checking through the GA and GSC data to identify the pages that are driving traffic to the website. Once you have the list of these pages, you can create internal links to the lower performing pages on your higher traffic pages.
For page load speed, I can see the website is on Wordpress so I would recommend removing the plugins that are not in use, get a CDN and make use of the plugins like WPRocket that will help you improve the page load speed.Thank you, actually there are many plugins installed, it would be better to try to delete some of them

Also I am having difficulties on internal links (and also on speed ...), also because when the pages grow in number, even if you had an initial strategy it becomes more and more difficult to follow it.
I know that many use the internal linking strategy to encourage and increase visits to less strong pages, but I don't know how to do it. If anyone has any suggestions, I would like to apply them as they do on this site that I am monitoring: https://www.ilcamminodisantiago.net/ -
This is interesting. I am currently updating my internal links. Hey fellow mozers, care to answer the OP's question.
Also any suggestions for my page https://growmemarketing.ca/calgary-seo/? What would be the best internal linking strategy for the page?
Thank you

# of links and how it impacts ranking
Hi everyone I was running a competitor analysis in Moz Pro of my site and 3 competitors that are ranked above me. One of the things I noticed is that my # of total links is very high compared to 2 of my competitors(please see attachment). Other seo tools are telling me the same. This is mainly due to a few affiliate sites that have us in their footer. I was wondering if this could impact our ranking if some of these sites have very low domain authority and have thousands of backlinks to our site? I am looking into starting the disavowing process.

Sudden and dramatic decrease in External Followed Links and Total External Links
I'm not sure how or why this has happened but from a span of a week my client's site went from 518 total external links to 97. I also saw a dramatic decrease in traffic for that week as well. I'm new to the SEO game but I have not made any changes to their content other than importing old blog posts that did not get migrated to their new host. Any thoughts? www.cobbcountyattorneys.com Thanks! JC

Important link building question for me!
Hi, When building backlinks how important is the location of where the website resides? For example, if I was targeting a search term in Google UK, will link building from websites hosted on UK servers have a higher positive impact on rankings then building links from websites hosted on US servers? Lets say in the above UK hosted is better, what if you have 2 websites hosted in the UK but one with .com and one with .co.uk, I take it from a domain point of view the .co.uk will have a better impact on SERP's then the .com. Now looking at the above from a more wider scale lets say I have the following: A .co.uk website aimed at a search term in Google UK. Example: 1. 100 backlinks from websites hosted in the US with .com extension. 2. 100 backlinks from websites hosted in the UK with .co.uk extension. Is it a FACT that number 2 will 100% be more beneficial in UK rankings? Cheers

My Competition is using some Strange Achord Text and Inbound Links
I was doing some research and a lot of my competition are websites from Universities, but I got surprised when I saw that a lot of their Anchor Text where things like Buy Viagra , Play poker , Buy Cialis , a lot of their inbound links where about things like that , one of the sites I was doing research on was www.imba.ie.edu , this site was #1 for the keyword I want that is related to education. Also other sites on the #1 page of google for this keyword (universities websites) had the same kind of inbound links and achord texts. Whats going on here??

My competition is using 1px images and links without anchor text. Good or bad idea?
I've been scoping out some of my competition and I noticed the number 1 ranking site is doing a lot of "interesting" stuff. I saw a bunch of 1px blank images that they must be using for the alt tag keywords. I also noticed several links to internal pages with different keywords without anchor text so they don't actually appear on the page. Is this considered black hat? Should I be doing something similar? It feels like the work I'm doing to try to rank #1 with a clean/professional looking site are wasted when the #1 sites are doing things like this.

How does a site get to no 3 in Google with no KW in their links?!!
Hello everyone, my first post - ahhh I'm investigating a niche and there is a site that should have no right being there in my view. It's no. 3 Google UK for 'company formation' with a small site with 65 weak links from only 7 domains and hosted in the US. But more importantly, the Open Site Explorer says there is not 1 link with that term in its anchor text. This I find crazy and makes me suspicious. But before I go back to my client saying "oh they must be black hat" I would like your expert views. I'm not sure whether to tut or congratulate them and for the first time I'm not sure what reasons to give for their amazing performance! What's your views?

Question regarding back link analysis and anchor text
Hello, I am looking at my competitors back link analysis and comparing a range of link based metrics from the top 10 SERPS. I am then putting this data into excel and comparing our back link profiles. When looking at the anchor text distribution i am not sure whether to look at exact match anchor or phrase match anchor. For example, one of the companies I am looking at holds positions 3 and 4 in the SERPS. Looking at their linking profile I can see that only 1.7% of their links use the exact match anchor 'widget'. Looking at their phrase match anchor is an entirely different story, 93.5% of anchor links contain 'widget' somewhere. i.e. 'cheap widgets', 'widget sale', 'buy widgets at www.examplewidget.co.uk' etc. Obviously their exact match and phrase match anchor distribution tell a completely different story. THIS IS TRUE FOR MANY OF THE TOP 10 SERPS. Therefore, should I be looking at phrase match anchors instead of exact? Side note: would people recommend targeting anchors with 'brandname widget' based on predictions of Google giving weighted anchor more weight. Robert.

My client has shown me a similar site, though not a competitor. He wants to know what sites they are linked from that give them such a good Google rank for certain kewords. Can SEOMoz tell me this?
When using google.com.au and searching for "travel to france", www.frenchtravel.com.au is the 3rd organic result. (the 1st two are not travel businesses, they are non profit travel guides) My client, who runs www.visituk.com.au, an Australian site that organises tours of the UK, said "so we just need to add these sort of words to the site?" I said, yes, but it doesn't end there. The real task is to have a link to your site on other sites surrounded with the words "travel" and "UK". He asked if he could see a list of the sites the french site was being referred by relevant to the search phrase. Is there an SEOmoz tool for this? Or is there another way I can generate that list? Thanks Simon
