          Hi,

          I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior.  My website is www.hindimeaning.com  which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts.

          Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.)

          I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links.

          If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links.

          Thanks,

          Mahesh Kumar

            well some of them are and your navigation which obviously should contain internal URLs does contain internal URLs. I am sending a screenshot of one of your widgets and a look at the actual URL which is an internal URL as your other widgets contained the same domain "hindimeaning.com" they are internal URLs as well.

            here is a screenshot below of your entire home page sorry if it looks strange my browser is dragged pretty wide.

            Regardless it looks like you using a Genesis 1 framework is this correct?

            Go into appearance then widgets you will see the URLs and be able to modify them to your liking.

            So far I have not seen external URLs meaning from another domain.

            I hope this is helpful,

            Thomas

                popular posts and related posts are dynamic so they would not show up as URL's when you say widgets

                you mean the widgets containing the URLs that make up most of the website as I have only seen two pages but they look very similar.

                this Would not allow me to click on the other URL until after the video that's what the second link is for

                http://cl.ly/ZkJn

                http://cl.ly/Zk4r

                your widgets contain URLs

                could you please rephrase the question and take note that the code I looked at is not ideal.

                  Backlinks vs External Links vs Referral Links vs Outbound links

                  Hello all, I was just wondering if you could explain the difference between all the links above? I'm confused as they all seem to be the same or similar and I would just like to clearly know what distinguishes them from eachother. Thanks for your help, Jayne

                  Nasty links

                  Hi My first q on here (hoorah!), and it's about links (boo!). I've got what appears to be a handful (but worryingly, increasing in number) of links pointing to my site like this: http://condos.mrgulffront.com/florida-condos-for-sale/320-scenic-gulf-drive-miramar-beach-fl-32550-mls-567591/ I've made contact with the sites concerned, and had only one positive response who flatly denied all knowledge of it. The issue (as far as I can see) is that as in the above example the links (on the bottom right in the grey box) are forever changing so not always visible. Can anyone offer any guidance as to these kinds of nasty links.... I'm right at the v beginning on this "path of seo understanding" so please don't assume prior knowledge! Thanks in advance.... tom

                  Do footer links pass less link juice?

                  One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

                  I wonder if Google would consider those three links to be the same? http://www.example.com/test page.html http://www.example.com/test page.html http://www.example.com/test+page.html

                  Link Detox and Link Removal

                  I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own.  But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

                  Internal Linking for Newspaper Websites

                  Now, there are a number of do's and dont's when it comes to internal linking, but do those rules apply to news websites that have to interlink relevant news stories, primarily based on their relevancy to the user and the value that they have to provide rather than keeping the idea of page rank sculpting in mind? What's your take on this?
