7 things that must be present in your site are
internal linking structure.
Keep a shallow website structure.
Nowadays, users are
very demanding when it comes to the speed of websites, including page load time
and the time required to complete certain actions. They expect to complete
their goals fast.
To check your pages'
click depth, fire up WebSite Auditor. The tool will show you how many
link clicks it takes to reach any given URL
Make sure all the important pages are linked
search engines rely both on sitemaps and links to discover web pages. It
means that even unlinked — or the so-called 'orphan' — pages can be found by
the search engines as these pages are listed in the sitemap. But it's
impossible to find 'orphan' pages through the website's navigation. Such pages
virtually don't exist for the users. It's a good idea to get rid of orphan
pages; you can either delete them (if they are useless) or link them from other
pages of the website.
Once the crawl is complete, you'll be able to find orphan pages in the Pages dashboard,
marked with the Orphan page tag.
overall site's structure
with one click with the Visualizationtool in WebSite Auditor. In your
project, go to Site Structure > Visualization and immediately see
whether you have orphan pages, long chains of pages, or any other soft spots in
your structure:
links per page reasonable
More
links, internal or external, are found on a page, the less link juice each link
sends to the page it points to. Moreover, unless the content is
well-structured, it may be boring for your visitors to scroll down an endless
list of resources. To top it up, an excessive number of links can send a spam
signal for search engines.
Use keywords in the anchor text
internal links act like
backlinks, so using relevant terms in their anchors is a free and simple way to
boost topical relevance.
Duplicate links to the same URL
several
links on the same page that point to the same URL, search engines would give
the priority to the first anchor text. Keep this in mind and use the right
keywords in the first link's anchor: subsequent anchors won't matter as much.
Place links within pages
The links placed within
page's content have a higher SEO value than the ones in the header, footer, or
sidebar. The latter have more to do with navigation, and it looks like Google
treats those as non-editorial links. Link in the main content, on the other
hand, add new information and value to the text.
