Interlinking is also good for making all your important information easily accessible.

A lot of this is just my distaste for what Google is doing with it. That being said, it is a good SEO practice and I've seen it work across the board. By the way... love the site! Just added your feed to my reader. :-) @ Otto It's something you should always be mindful of. You don't need to go completely all out with it, but try and be aware when creating internal links. @ David

I also use the nofollow tactically on my site as well, to control the 'SEO Juice' around my site. Has worked well so far. Nice Post!

Not only is it legit, in my opinion, but it's also very helpful for readers who might land on that particular URL for the first time. One of the reasons Google has changed its ALGO to bring newer content to the front is because we're all looking for NEWER content! There for, it's good for everyone if older URLs are providing fresh content to readers. Rob, great point on the editing of older posts!!!

Mon, 12 May 2008 19:20:46 +0000 http://www.bloggingtips.com/?p=1697#comment-135387 I'm very mindful to use internal linking - or "deep linking" - in newer posts to refer back to older, related posts. This gives the search engines another path to dig into, but more importantly, it prompts your readers to explore your older posts even more. It's a nice way to establish some continuity also. Sometimes, you can even use this as fuel for a new post if your creative juice is dried up - just find a favorite old post and do a follow-up. For example. maybe some piece of software that you had blogged about being forthcoming has now been a part of your daily toolkit for a couple of months. Let the world know how the app is living up to the pre-release hype. Also, I think it's perfectly legit to edit an older post to provide an additional link forward from it to a newer, related entry. I'm not talking about doing a George Lucas-style overhaul, just a minor tweak. I don't do this often, but on posts where I have done so, I've indicated it with a little red "Update" notation, so it's more apparent. (You can take a look at my <a href="http://www.2dolphins.com/2006/05/fivefingers-for-your-ten-toes.html" title="Click here to read my "FiveFingers For Your Ten Toes?" blog post on 2Dolphins.com" rel="nofollow">FiveFingers For Your Ten Toes</a> article for an example. Oooh, see that? I just "deep linked!") I’m very mindful to use internal linking – or “deep linking” – in newer posts to refer back to older, related posts.
