    Inner Linking for SEO success

    Nikki Patrick Nikki@Tampa-SEO.com If Content is King then Linking is Queen Inner linking is taking keyword rich text and linking to to another page on your site with the content of your website. This allows the Search Engine spider to easily spider all the pages of your site. Don't over do it! You want to add a few links withi the content of each page that link to other pages that may be related. Only do this if it makes sense. Google doesn't like to see more than 100 links per page, including your navigation.]]>     http://conferencebuddies.com/2009/03/06/search-engine-optimization-301-miva-merchant-2009/feed/ 0
