Optimize Your Internal Linking Strategy
Analyze internal link structure to improve crawlability, distribute page authority, and boost SEO performance
Internal links are hyperlinks that point to other pages on the same domain. They help search engines discover and index your content, distribute link equity (PageRank), and establish site architecture. Our analyzer scans any page and shows you every internal link with its anchor text and attributes.
Why Internal Links Matter for SEO
Internal links serve as the backbone of your website's architecture. They help Google understand the relationship between pages, prioritize important content, and distribute ranking power throughout your site. Poor internal linking can result in orphan pages that search engines never discover.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many internal links should a page have?
There's no strict limit, but Google recommends keeping it reasonable. Most well-designed pages have 50-150 internal links. Focus on quality and relevance over quantity.
Should internal links be nofollow?
Generally no. Internal links should be dofollow to allow link equity to flow throughout your site. Use nofollow only for login pages, search results, or user-generated content.
Does anchor text matter for internal links?
Yes! Internal link anchor text helps Google understand what the linked page is about. Use descriptive, keyword-rich anchor text instead of generic 'click here' text.
