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 -
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 would like to apply them as they do on this site that I am monitoring:

@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

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

How to set up a competitor URL with a language slug for a campaign
Hello, I am trying to set up a competitor with language slug for my (subfolder) website with a language slug. Let's say my website is something like: websiteholding.com/de/website
Competitive Research | | Siir
My competitor is: competitor.com/de When I go to Campaign Settings > Comptetitor Sites > type in competitor.com/de > Hit Save Competitor > Then it shows the saved competitor without the language slug as competitor.com I am not sure if this is a correct method of tracking since for my DE website I would like to track the DE page of the competitor, not their global page. Please correct me if I am wrong and help me out on possible solutions? I am quite new to SEO & Moz , so any help on the topic would be appreciated.0 -
What Exactly is traffic lift?
Under the keyword gap analysis under the competitive analysis report, there is a mention of traffic lift and it provides a number. Does the number represent the number of users or the number traffic to expect for that term? Or is it the positions?

How do you select which keywords to push in SEO?
Hi Guys Selecting the right keywords that a website can realistically rank for is a key to gain top rankings relatively quick. I am just curious to hear how you guys do it (the methodology) when selecting which keywords to push? I mean you need to check the competition for each keyword as well so how to check this quickly to see what we realistically can rank for? Cheers John

Should I get a link from a low quality directory?
While doing some backlink research of similar ranking sites I noticed that a few of them had links from a directory called Infignos, it has a moz DA of 37 and a low spam score of 3, so it doesn't look like complete junk. But the posts on it look terrible, like people are just putting keywords with a small description to get rankings. Should I bother posting something similar to be competitive or just move on? Any advice or feedback on this is much appreciated, I know some of these things are not quality sites but I was wondering the best way to filter that out. Thanks in advance.

Alternatives To Link Detective
Hi, A while back I used link detective to scan through our OSE reports. However, it seems that the site is no longer maintained and the system no longer seems to work, ie I upload the CSV file and then when i check back it leads to a blank screen. I wonder if anyone knows of a similar software as its functionality was very useful. Thanks

Internal/External link ratio
I have a client who ranked #3 for a very important and highly competitive keyword phrase. Using the 'Compare Pages' tool in open site explorer I could see that we were far better optimized than the two websites that were out ranking my client. Our PA was higher, the MozRank was higher, more internal and external links (and the external are all high quality) more linking C blocks etc.. etc... not just the page but the website, in general, was better optimized. The one thing I did notice was that although we had more internal and external links, our ratio was far heavier to the external side than the ratio of either competitor. So, at a loss of what else to do, I went through the website and beefed up the internal links to the specific page in question. I didn't over do it, just moved up from about 6% to about 12% (one competitor was at about 20% while the other was about 65%). Six days later we are number two rather than number three. Coincidence? Should I beef it up even more? Has anyone ever come across anything like this? Thank you for your comments in advance.

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.
