🧠 One Simple Trick to Increase Traffic and Pageviews

It's fast, easy, and free.

What if I told you that one simple trick can help you:

• Rank better in Google and get more search traffic

• Increase the time visitors spend on your website and help users get more value.

• Grow your website pageviews and improve your ability to monetize your content.

That sounds too good to be true, right?

But this is the power of a strong internal linking strategy.

What Are Internal Links?

Internal links are any links on your website that link to another page on your website. They’re called internal links because they keep visitors internal to your website.

Here’s an internal link to my About page.

Conversely, a link to another website, like Wikipedia, is called an external link.

Here’s an external link to a Note I published on Substack last week.

Even though I published the Note, it’s still an external link because it’s on substack.com, not reallygoodbusinessideas.com.

If a link goes to the same domain name, it’s internal. If it goes to a different domain name, it’s external.

Today, we want to focus on internal links.
