Internal Linking

Advertise on BHW
Yes! It is very crucial for SEO! You do it maintain relevancy....
 
I would suggest going for relevant posts rather than focusing on old or new content. If your old pages are already indexed and ranking well, then there's no need to target them unless they're highly relevant.
 
It's important to strike a balance between supporting new sites to speed up their indexation and linking to older material to increase its authority and relevancy. Consider it similar to SEO planting and SEO recycling: both improve your website.
 
Both are important. Link to older content to keep it relevant and boost its SEO value. But also link to new pages to help Google discover them faster. A balanced internal linking startegy keeps your whole site strong.
 
From my perspective both are good. Linking to older pages make them stay strong and linking to new ones helps them to get noticed. try to keep a balanced between both and also make sure the links make sense for the reader.
 
you can do both (and probably need to do both, based on relevancy and naturalness of the situation).

This being said, you should try to link from older content (which is already indexed) to new one to help the googlebot crawl (and hopefully index) the new content faster...

The smart approach is to do both. Linking to older, well-ranking content helps preserve and distribute SEO authority. At the same time, linking from those older posts to your newer pages speeds up indexing and gives your fresh content a quick push. In more aggressive setups like parasite SEO, internal link structure and timing can directly affect how fast a page ranks. Some even go a step further by simulating internal clicks using mobile proxies to amplify perceived engagement by Google.
 
Gotta show love to both — link back to old stuff to keep it alive and ranking, and don’t forget the new pages so Google picks ’em up quick. Keepin’ that balance is how your whole site stays solid
 
The best way is to target the orphan page or not indexed pages.
 
Yes it is better to internal link to older content or focus on new pages! But maintain the keyword relevancy.
 
Balance internal links between old and new content to boost SEO, aid indexing, and maintain topical relevance.

Both matter, but linking to older content gives it new life. It tells Google, "Hey, this still matters." That can boost stale pages and spread authority. But linking to new pages helps them get indexed faster and rank sooner. Best move? Do both. Keep your structure tight and relevant. Think like a librarian with SEO superpowers.
 
Do both but prioritize linking from old to new. Older pages usually have more authority, so passing juice forward helps index and rank fresh content faster. Then loop it back by linking new to old for strong topical relevance. Keep it natural, not forced.
 
Both
Date is a secondary factor in this situation
Focus on linking relevant links instead of caring too much about when they were posted
