For all the difficulties and complexities associated with search engine optimization, it remains the case that it is possible to make general points which can be subtly adapted to meet the diverse needs of many unique sites. The informal and formal rules of the game change regularly as the ‘search world’ alters. Research and monitoring of the sphere of search is needed so that it can be seen whether what used to work still has largely positive outcomes. However, in some instances, advice which  is relevant retains that quality while many other things are affected by the transformations in the surrounding environment. It must be said that it can be very tricky indeed for inexperienced individuals to assess whether or not a specific SEO tip continues to be of value.

The main controversies relating to links refer to the link building strategies that enable sites to attract high quality inbound links. However, once some inbound links have been acquired in a prudent way, it is possible to combine the quest for further inbound links with the maximisation of the benefits that your internal links can give you. Internal links have to be structured in a fashion that facilitates this kind of work. There are a few things which should be considered when thinking how best to give added strength to your potentially valuable internal links. The way your pages are connected matters. A few adjustments in these areas can pay off:

• Use a site map to help human users and search engine web crawlers to explore your site with relative ease. This task is a good addition to the structure of many sites
• Enable navigation via text. This means that the search engines should be able to access the different pages smoothly. It can be a shrewd move to have the features of your site that will work in this way towards the left part of the page where web crawlers and users will be able to access the information without too much trouble
• Hyperlinks can be used in a clever way to make the most of keywords which are embedded in the text. The search engines seem to appreciate hyperlinks and users can do too. Therefore it is best to remember that the task in hand is to satisfy users and search engines alike
• Headers and footers can both be used for internal links, but it is necessary to err on the cautious side. For instance, using the footer may conceal things from users, which is not actually the effect that you want to have. Similarly, using the header may distract users from what you want them to focus on. So it can be useful to obtain guidance on these matters.
