Links and reputation

Internal linking

Also known as: internal linking

Connecting related pages within your own website.

A practical example

An article links to its category and a supporting guide.

What should I know?

Too many unrelated links make content harder to use.

Links and reputation in practice

Source context and credibility matter, not just link count. Distinguish natural coverage, labeled advertising, and manipulation. Tool providers' proprietary metrics help comparisons but are not official search engine scores.
