How do you interlink?

Hello Dear,

When you interlink do you link your other articles via contextual?

Or just adding a side comment below like:

"Did you enjoy this article? You'll love these too!
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3"

Would really appreciate your answers

I'm also interested to hear some thoughts about this.

I always interlink other articles via contextual.

Will prefer contextual links for interlinking other articles.

From UX Perspective, contextual propositions are way more useful. This might increase the time-spend on the website, as long as you have valuable knowledge in similar topics to cover all the user's questions and even things that he will think about only after seeing the headline.
Also, it might be important for Google that the user spends more time on your website. This means something. So always, do everything good for your user, they will appreciate that, and Google will notice that. User personas might help find areas that are important. If you have more UX, CX, UI, Usability, Accessibility questions related, I might help!

I use contextual + link to other posts/SILO at the end of the article

I prefer contextual link which is the best strategy for the internal linking structure. It is easy to navigate your website for the user and also lower bounce rate.It offers more quality information to our reader.

Contextual link is preferred. It keeps the interlinked posts relevant to the original post that helps the readers to swing by.

Contextual, it gives google crawlers some context on what you are interlinking to, increasing the authority of both articles providing you do it correctly.
