# Internal Link Analysis + Generation ## What This Skill Does **Two functions**: | Mode | Input | Output | |------|-------|--------| | **Analysis Mode** | Website URL | Internal link issues report | | **Generation Mode** | New article + site structure | Link suggestions (where to link, anchor text) | Good internal linking: - Helps Google find all your pages - Distributes "link juice" (ranking power) to important pages - Guides users through your content ## Why Internal Links Matter - **Orphan pages** (no internal links) = Google can't find them = not indexed - **Deep pages** (6+ clicks from homepage) = Google thinks they're not important - **Link hoarding** (homepage links to everything) = diluted equity per link - **Poor anchor text** = Google doesn't understand what the linked page is about ## Check Categories ### 1. Orphan Pages Pages with ZERO internal links pointing to them. **How to find:** 1. Crawl entire site to find all pages 2. Check which pages have no inbound internal links 3. Cross-reference with sitemap (orphan pages often only accessible via sitemap) **Severity:** - Orphan + in sitemap = Medium (Google can find via sitemap, but weak) - Orphan + not in sitemap = Critical (Google may never find it) ### 2. Click Depth Analysis | Depth | Meaning | SEO Impact | |-------|---------|------------| | 1 click | Linked from homepage | Highest priority | | 2 clicks | Linked from main sections | High priority | | 3 clicks | Standard content | Normal priority | |
