Why it matters
It helps users discover related explanations, distributes navigation context, and helps search systems understand hierarchy and relationships.
How to use it
Link technical terms to evergreen definitions, guides to related methods, and product pages to installation or evidence. Keep links contextual and avoid repetitive keyword-heavy anchors.
Limits and interpretation
Internal links cannot replace useful content or clear navigation. More links are not automatically better, and hidden or off-screen link blocks can be spam.
Common mistakes
Orphan pages; generic “click here” anchors; linking every keyword occurrence; huge footers without hierarchy; JavaScript-only navigation.
