If you were to map out your website’s internal links, would there be a logical order to it, or would it look like a steaming plate of spaghetti? Be careful before you answer. Strip away all the fancy design, the hours of brilliant copywriting, and the carefully considered page names. Instead, today we’ll think of your site as a simple series of dots (pages) and lines (links) to evaluate internal linking for SEO purposes. That’s one of the first steps we take at Portent when we’re doing a technical SEO audit or review with our in-house crawler, RainGage. This often helps to take ego or pride of authorship out of the equation, for a really important exercise.<\/p>\n
