Internal linking between 2 pages. question...

[Erin Heiner]

Is it ok to link : internal linking from "Page A" to "Page B" and from "Page B" to "Page A"?

Page A is a " best of " list of items blog article. And Page B is an individual product review.

Internal Linking is very effective technique and you can do internal linking from Page A to Page B and from Page B to Page A. But here your page B is products review so, I don't recommend interlinking from page B to page A.

I would not interlink from Page B to Page A unless I thought it would provide some benefits.

Of course I want to link to Page A from Page B, because Page A is my Cornerstone content.

But page A does not have the full review or the pricing information from Amazon, bestbuy, target, and wallmart. Since I do not want to put 4 prices for each product on Page A, I thought I should link from Page B to Page A.

As you said you don't recommend it... what about with the situation I listed above?

Thanks for the help.

Of course, you can, there's no set rule for internal linking,
unlike external links, you can go kinda aggressively with it

Thanks, what if i use the same interlinking text? Is that a no no? like both pages link to each other with the anchor text of both being "Alienware"

Ohh, now I understand. You should interlink both the pages with eachother.

Linking is a great idea to improve page rank. From the question you asked, according to me linking Page A to Page B is a good one. Provide a link from Page B to Page A only if it is useful to the reader.

Thanks. Yes, Page B is the full price list. So when I link to the prices from Page A, should I follow or "nofollow" I mean Page B is an internal page with relevant prices for page A, So I was thinking it should be "Do Follow"

You surely can consider adding a Do Follow link if it offers value to your users, also since it contains useful information for page A.

One Question, Is Page B Linked to any other pages of the website as well? Because Page B has no links at all, it'd be a dead end for a search engine bot.

Page B links to Page A sometimes or sometimes links to a couple of pages that are similar to Page A. I try to make sure every page on the website has an internal link in the body of the content, not just the navigation bar.

It sends a signal that page a is related to page b. This can be a great way to illustrate your expertise if you have a wealth of authoritative content to weave together.
If page a, for instance, has authoritative external links pointing to it, it will have built up a Page Rank score. This authority can then be passed to page b by way of internal links.

This is exactly the case. Page A is the Pillar list type of post with 10 best products (or the entrance). Page B is the individual product review plus all the pricing information. So yea, u confirmed it. I need to pass down rank to Page B and it needs to be a Do-Follow link. Thank you

Since it is an internal linking according to my approach I will suggest you the same. You can use DO FOLLOW.

Yea, it's totally fine.
One thing to keep in mind is the potential threat of cannibalisation. When linking from one article to another, use exact match anchor text. Try to make it easy for the algo to understand what differentiates the two articles.

I totally did not think about keyword cannibalism...

Page A - has the WordPress canonical Tag in place and is linked by keywords that are not exact match. Instead of "best laptop computers" the anchors from Page B are like "Laptop" and "computer".

Page B - Is a WooCommerce Product listing and it has an anchor text button that leads to it from Page A. The keyword anchor text is stuff like "Full Prices" or "More Details"

What do u think in regards to keyword cannibalism? I mean I could use exact match to Page B, but I wanted to highlight the fact that there are more prices if you click this button.

Yes, it’s okay if it flows naturally from the context of your content.

But if it seems that you’re just ramming a square peg into a round hole and it looks clunky, don’t do it.

You have to look at your pages the way Google wants you to look at them: with your customers in mind.

Would it provide more value to your customers for you to link from page A to page B and from page B to page A?

If the answer is ‘no,’ then don’t do it.

In many cases, it might make more sense to go just from page A to page B but not the other way around.

I would suggest that since page A is a review page where you list different products, page B is a useful target because you just want people to get an expanded view of the list of products that you are overviewing or reviewing on page A.

But, you better have a very good reason to link from page B back to page A.

Another approach you could take is to set up informational pages regarding the problems solved by the products listed on page A, and then link from page A to that info page.

Also, the info page can then link back to page A.

In that context, since they add value to each other, reciprocal linking makes a lot of sense.

But, it may not be a good move when you’re just trying to “expand” your discussion of individual products by linking them to their page B individual product review.

I link to page B because I don't want 10 affiliate links to 10 different prices under each of the top 10 computers I am listing on Page A. And It was my understanding that those individual reviews (Page B's) should link back to Page A because I don't want google thinking that the individual product reviews are more important than Page A. Because Page A is the Landing/Money page. Page B is how I wrap up the sale by giving the user a choice of 10 different vendors they could goto to make their purchase.

Page A is a " best of " list of items blog article. And Page B is an individual product review.

i have noticed very good result from internal link building.

If page is my primary money making page, I sometimes send good backlinks to page B, and then do the interlinking. very good result.

through in page C, and do one way linking to page A and send very powerful links to page C. You will be amazed on the ranking improvement page A gets.

If they are relevant, there is no problem.
