Re: I'm stuck by internal linking.
What structure should a football website follow? Silo or Topic Cluster?
I need advice on my website. My website: https://tipbongda247.net/
I hope there are answers!
Thanks -
Also I am having difficulties on internal links (and also on speed ...), also because when the pages grow in number, even if you had an initial strategy it becomes more and more difficult to follow it.
I would like to apply them as they do on this site that I am monitoring:

@JoelX Thanks for the tips. I'm going to apply these to my site. One other question - for a site where I have a page like https://guruseoservices.com/seo-services/ and then I want to create a page per city should I create this structure maintaining a flat URL structure --> /%city%-%state/province%-seo-services page or shift to a more siloed structure such as /%state%/%city%/%service% structure?

@joelx said in Interal linking:
@thanhdung0906 For your site, I would suggest going with Silo as this will give you more flexibility to have a well optimized internal linking structure on your website.
Silo Content structure will also make it easier for the Google bots to crawl and index your website more efficiently, as well as help users to follow the clear path which will ultimately improve the website usability.@SeanAliGrowME You can definitely try to create some great blog posts around the topic or services you offer and include internal links to the Calgary SEO landing page. You can also try to create some internal linking from the different pages like Our Story, Digital Marketing, etc.
@honorway The best approach to handle the internal linking for a larger website is using Google Analytics and Search Console data. We would recommend checking through the GA and GSC data to identify the pages that are driving traffic to the website. Once you have the list of these pages, you can create internal links to the lower performing pages on your higher traffic pages.
For page load speed, I can see the website is on Wordpress so I would recommend removing the plugins that are not in use, get a CDN and make use of the plugins like WPRocket that will help you improve the page load speed.Thank you, actually there are many plugins installed, it would be better to try to delete some of them

I know that many use the internal linking strategy to encourage and increase visits to less strong pages, but I don't know how to do it. If anyone has any suggestions, I would like to apply them as they do on this site that I am monitoring: https://www.ilcamminodisantiago.net/ -
This is interesting. I am currently updating my internal links. Hey fellow mozers, care to answer the OP's question.
Also any suggestions for my page https://growmemarketing.ca/calgary-seo/? What would be the best internal linking strategy for the page?
Thank you

Search Intent and Relevance
Hello SEO gurus 🤓 I’m looking for the most efficient ways to analyze the search intent and relevance of competitors who are ranking for the keywords we’re targeting. While I know Google excels at assessing search intent and relevance, I’m interested in learning how we can evaluate these factors as metrics for our competitors. The goal is to understand their strategy better and find ways to outrank them. Do you have any tools or methodologies that you recommend for assessing competitor content to determine its alignment with search intent and user needs/relevance? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on this!

How to set up a competitor URL with a language slug for a campaign
Hello, I am trying to set up a competitor with language slug for my (subfolder) website with a language slug. Let's say my website is something like: websiteholding.com/de/website
Competitive Research | | Siir
My competitor is: competitor.com/de When I go to Campaign Settings > Comptetitor Sites > type in competitor.com/de > Hit Save Competitor > Then it shows the saved competitor without the language slug as competitor.com I am not sure if this is a correct method of tracking since for my DE website I would like to track the DE page of the competitor, not their global page. Please correct me if I am wrong and help me out on possible solutions? I am quite new to SEO & Moz , so any help on the topic would be appreciated.0 -
Is it allowed to buy an old website with external links en redirect it to your own site??
Hello, We noticed at MOZ that one of our competitor's websites has increased the number of external backlinks from 5k to 25k within a month. Upon investigating the links, we found that the competitor had acquired an old, unknown website with completely different content and external links in that month. The competitor then redirected that purchased website to their own website, instantly gaining 20k external links. This seems to be against Google's guidelines as it is an extremely unnatural way of link building and should be penalized by search engines. However, the website's Domain Authority (DA) has increased by 10 points in that month, and its rankings have greatly improved on Google. So it appears that acquiring an old website with many external links unrelated to your own website is highly profitable. We try to obtain links honestly, but we cannot reach 25k links naturally. Is there any way to report these practices to Google? Does anyone know how to do this?

What is the relationship between inbound links and linking domains?
In doing competitor research, there's a specific competitor that has fewer linking domains, but dramatically more inbound links. How do these two relate to each other? I do have a higher domain authority and more internal followed links with them having more internal nofollow and external (both follow and nofollow) links. I'm trying to understand how they can have 3.7k linking domains and 4.8 million inbound links while I have 4.1k linking domains and only 601k inbound links. What really defines an inbound link and what's there relationship between inbound links and linking domains?

How do you select which keywords to push in SEO?
Hi Guys Selecting the right keywords that a website can realistically rank for is a key to gain top rankings relatively quick. I am just curious to hear how you guys do it (the methodology) when selecting which keywords to push? I mean you need to check the competition for each keyword as well so how to check this quickly to see what we realistically can rank for? Cheers John

Should I get a link from a low quality directory?
While doing some backlink research of similar ranking sites I noticed that a few of them had links from a directory called Infignos, it has a moz DA of 37 and a low spam score of 3, so it doesn't look like complete junk. But the posts on it look terrible, like people are just putting keywords with a small description to get rankings. Should I bother posting something similar to be competitive or just move on? Any advice or feedback on this is much appreciated, I know some of these things are not quality sites but I was wondering the best way to filter that out. Thanks in advance.

Alternatives To Link Detective
Hi, A while back I used link detective to scan through our OSE reports. However, it seems that the site is no longer maintained and the system no longer seems to work, ie I upload the CSV file and then when i check back it leads to a blank screen. I wonder if anyone knows of a similar software as its functionality was very useful. Thanks
