Let your content be found on search engines

There is one thing I have learned that has given me more traffic from search engines, and that one thing is linking to my own articles. When you write a article and you link back to previous articles using words that exist in the previous article and linking words in your current article to that article of the past. Now this might sound confusing, let me explain:

You have a old post about niche blogging, you are writing a article about types of blogging, when you get to niche blogging you link the word niche blogging to your previous article about niche blogging. That will give your previous post another “point” on search engines and make it more relevant. So the more you link from your front page to previous articles the higher those particular articles will rank on search engines for the words they contain and the words used to link to that article IF they do also contain those words.

Eh, I never knew this. o_O

Oh, kinda like a summary article isit?

Some folks like to do articles like that to summarized what they have written up in a year.

Or to compile together a list of related articles, right?

You have a old post about niche blogging, you are writing a article about types of blogging, when you get to niche blogging you link the word niche blogging to your previous article about niche blogging.
Okay, kinda like I have published lots of Guild Wars Random PvP Builds, then one day I roll out an article which talks about all those PvP Builds that I have written and published in the past?

That will give your previous post another “point” on search engines and make it more relevant.
W00t! More points for the existing posts? Oh, page rank vote is it?

So the more you link from your front page to previous articles the higher those particular articles will rank on search engines for the words they contain and the words used to link to that article IF they do also contain those words.
Search Engine Optimization for the win (FTW) I say!

Thanks for sharing this, mate.

Cheers yo!
