With the help of internal linking you can increase the stability of the visitors. People can check your website through internal links and spend more time on your website. This can increase the popularity of your content and traffic to your website.

If your any page have more inbound links (both internal or external) then Google will give priority to it because Google thinks that it is an important page comparing to other pages on the website. That's why some expert always suggest not to link your contact page in all the services or product pages.

Internal links also show Google which keywords you are targeting for each page, you are essentially telling Google which keywords are important to you. Internal linking shows that you give importance to every page on your site, so that Google will also give importance to it.

It is essential when you write a new article that has links to previous articles and is related to it, in this way, as well as provides your reader with more useful information about the topic that you are trying to talk about; you are giving Google more easily when browsing your blog.

What to do and not to do with internal links

- If you posted an article but didn't another article to link to them then keep them to link later when you had posts that related to the previous articles.
- Use anchor text, instead of using texts as "click here" or "other items" make use of phrases describing the article really or you should use the title of your post as anchor text.
- You do not abuse it, the texts with lots of links are difficult to read, and the readers will end up ignoring them
- You don't come up with internal links and also links to external resources links to third party websites are often very helpful to your readers.

Internal linking makes it easy for users and search engine bots to visit your site and find other pages on this and related topics.

Internal links also connect your content and give Google an idea of the structure of your website. They can establish a hierarchy on your site, allowing you to give the most important pages and posts more link value than other, less valuable, pages. So using the right internal linking strategy can boost your SEO!

Well, how many links per page is always a weird question. As long as your links are useful for your users, it's okay. There used to be a rule of no more than 100 links on a page in the Google Webmaster Guidelines, they've removed that rule though. 100 links might seem like a lot if your site is a content site

You can leverage internal linking by linking your service pages from the blogs. If your blogs are popular, it will drive more traffic to your service pages this will help to improve your website conversion rate and additional help to improve ranking of SERP.

This is a good idea but it is not new to me because I also usually apply it for my blog and my service page.

Whatever is your keyword in the blog make them as an anchor text for the internal linking which will pass the link juice to that service page for those keywords and ultimately help in search engine ranking?
Note: Do not use more than three keywords per blog (800 words).

Internal links are very important to the way that a crawler sees a website.
It helps them quickly navigate through pages.
Some even say that a page that is not linked doesnt exist to the crawler.
I wouldnt go that far, but it certainly has a bad impact on the ranking.
So, you should look to establish a good linking pyramid.
