Interconnection

First, we’ll review what interlinks and interconnection are.

You have often heard these words in your blogging career that Interlink will help you rank better.

Here linking means creating hyperlinks on your page or post.

Linking is when your article has links to other articles on your site related to the current document, so the reader can click and be redirected to another article on your site.

However, If a user on your website reads an article. That particular article references or is related to another article on your blog. There should be a link here that takes the user to that article to better understand your topic.

There are many benefits using Interlinking:

  • It helps to raise the average duration of the session by the visitor.
  • Helps reduce the bounce rate of the website.
  • It helps to raise the ranking of a particular keyword.
  • However, it helps to increase the number of page views per user.
  • It allows Google to crawl your site much more than knowing your niche.

Example:

If you write an article on your blog about how to install WordPress, then the article may contain steps to install WordPress on a specific system. It consumes the steps described to install WordPress on the web server, but the user wants to install it on a local computer.

  • However, if your articles has linking to your other posts on your blog like
  • how can you connect wordpress on local pc using xampp
  • how can you connect wordpress on local pc using wamp
  • how Can you install WordPress on MAC with MAMP

Anchor text

There is an element called Anchor Text that plays an important role in interlinking and getting better rankings with Interlink.

Example:

It’s a link to one of my articles on installing and configuring self-hosted WordPress. This link will take you to one of the articles on my blog, and now Anchor Text is How to Connect to and Set Up Self-Hosted WordPress.

However, interconnection helps decrease bounce rate

In plain language, bounce rate is the percentage of visitors to a page on your blog or website.

Example:

If your blog/website has a 50% bounce rate, it means that 50 out of 100 visitors skip (go to an additional site or leave your website) from your blog/website by reading just one page and not clicking on internal links.
