Internal links: How do I find keywords that are not linked to a URL?
-
Hi Moz members
I'd really like to place an internal link of every instance of an important keyword phrase "cycling caps" or "cycling cap" to my eComm category page
https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-capsI feel this would not only help my customers browsing my store, but I believe it will help from an SEO perspective.
How can I search my site using Moz, Screaming Frog, Google etc to find every time cycling cap(s) is used but is not linked to the above URL?
I can then apply the same for cycling jerseys, socks, etc

Hi Andy
You are probably better off doing this in your CMS or directly in the database. As far as I know, there is no MOZ tool to scan content for a particular keyword. You could query Google with site:yourdomain.com "cycling caps" This would give you a list of all URLs with the term Cycling Caps in. Then copy the link of each one and drop them in a spreadsheet.
However! I would warn against linking back through these two anchor texts back to the money page https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-caps as you will likely kill the page for that search.
Make internal linkage natural and use a variety of anchor text. Cycling cap, Cycling caps, Caps for cycling and even **Check out our range of cycling caps **even here and the URL itself. Check out our range of cycling caps: https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-caps Whacking a keyword over and over again in the content with a link is bad practice.
Regards Nigel

Dofollow OR nofollow for internal links
We recently changed our wordpress site and I have noticed that in the new theme all the internal links are set to nofollow. I understand that Google might not decide page rankings based on internal links but isn't it good practice to do a follow on internal links to highlight the relative importance of a page

Internal Linking Questions
Hello, here are my questions. 1:Should I be internal linking back to my home page from every subpage or lower page on my site. Or, is that going overboard? 2: If i'm internal linking back to a page with an anchor text that has no relation to the page, will that pass less relevance? So for example lets say the current page is about mazda cars. Then, I link to a page about ford cars with the anchor text Mazda cars that would pass less relevance, right? Thanks for your help

Best On-Site Internal Linking Practices?
Hi everyone, Our company works extensively with ecommerce website, and we're beginning to wonder with all of the impending Google updates what our best bets for internal linking practices will be, in particular when it comes to menu options. We typically set up our navigation with top-level categories in the main menu, then drop downs to the sub-category level pages. Our question is, should the links in the drop-down menus be followed, and if so, should they be followed links across all pages of the website, or just on the homepage menu list, or not at all? We're trying to figure out what will pass the most internal linking power without being too much and overly "spammy," I guess. Thanks for your input!

What are the pros and cons of using a link builder? Can link building be outsourced?
Hi, I have great content on my website which I would like to build external links to from other websites. I am told this will increase my domain authority and ultimately help search engine ranking positions. I have very limited time in my hands and now thinking of outsourcing the link building component to a specialist. Is this a good way of doing it? Could you recommend professional link builders?

Does it pay to change link text internally?
Most of my internal pages have their best links from within our site (of course we are trying to change that). Is it worth the effort to sculpt the link text to show varied text instead of most all showing the same link text? Or is that only important from external links?
