Hello,

I have a blog that has a decent number of backlinks, and I would like to add some new ones.
Having said that, I intend to do it differently, instead of adding backlinks that point directly to my money pages, I wanted to do add the backlinks to related articles, and from those pages, I will use the internal linking to pass the link juice.

So my question, how much link juice from that backlink will I be able to pass on by using internal linking?

Thank you
 
Thank you for your answer. But i'm not sure you quite understood my question!

What I meant is since i won't be using the backlink directly into my money page, but i will be rather going through an intermediary page to pass the juice.

External article (backlink) -> My article -> My money page

How much juice wiil be lost in the middle page? That's my question!

If there are no other links on the middle page, I'm sure I read that there is a dampening factor of 15%. So 85% of the link juice will get passed to your money page.

But, there will always be other links on the page. Internal links, CTAs, navigation links, sidebar links, etc. These links will further dilute the amount of page rank flowing to your money page. Nav and sidebar links may not dilute the page rank as much as contextual links in the article.

This is just my opinion from reading about it over the years, I don't think there are actual guidelines about this.

This is what I do, and it's a safer strategy than building all of your links to your money page. If your internal linking is set up good then you can spread links around more pages and increase your rankings sitewide.
 
I'm sure it would vary, and hold account of the page load speed, links to other internal page on the page, and links to external sites, keyword anchor used. Maybe a few more, but the point is the strategy works, just do it, don't look so much to calculate exactly how much is passed.
 
Not sure this question can really be answered with any level of precision. Best practice would probably be to have a mixture of links to related articles passing juice with internal links to each other and to money pages as well as links directly to money pages assuming you want them to rank on their own.
 
Think of internal linking as CONTEXT SETTING

Don't just internally link RANDOMLY

What sets context?

The overall page you're linking from
The specific text block
The anchor text
The category (if you set it) of the linking page
 
as far my experience, one of my blog post have not even in google top 100, after doing internal linking, it appear within top 100.

internal link does carry weight.

Your blog post page is not optimized if it can't break the top 100 by itself and needs internal links. Unless you're targeting terms out of your reach, wrong intent, etc.
 
I think internal linking wont have any negative impact so you could do as much as possible but only related to content.
 
Thank you very much. That's the exact answer i was looking for. Although, I would like to know if i add outbound links will they contribute also to the "dampening factor" ???

I didn't think it mattered much until i got your answers. Thanks!

Will surely keep that in mind from now on :) Thank you for the valuable advice.

Is it considered a good practice to add in the middle of the content a "Related Article" bloc with the link, or must the internal link be always a simple anchor text in the middle of the paragraph?

You can add as much of internal links from possible pages. Try with adding internal links for similar keywords and long tail keywords. Avoid adding 10+ links for same keyword on a single page.
