A blog is used to share. Of course there is a business intent behind that act of sharing but with our blogs we wish to spread new knowledge and information with our readers.

Each and every post matters in blogging. Because you really don’t know which will be the first post on which a visitor lands for the first time.

To help bloggers make their posts better and outstanding, Copyblogger columnist Stefanie Flaxman has shared some tips on developing internal links.

Flaxman says, “I often advise writers to be selective about the hyperlinks that they include in their blog posts. While links allow you to site external sources and provide more background information on certain topics, articles that make sense without clicking on a bunch of links are naturally easier to read.

That said, linking to your own content is an opportunity to showcase your authority and demonstrate that your website is a helpful resource. You just need to make sure you add links in a strategic way that doesn’t disrupt a reader’s experience. The three steps below will help you find the right balance.

Step #1: Plan your links

When you choose a new topic to write about, get in the habit of reviewing the content you’ve recently published, as well as your cornerstone content and landing pages for your products or services”.
