INTERNAL LINKING QUERY

INTERNAL LINKING QUERY
_______________________________

Was just gonna start implementing clusters for that topical authority boost.

So you know redirect chains are bad and then targeting same-to-similar KWs contribute to KW cannibalization?

I wanted to know if there was anything similar to that for internal links.

As in if I created internal link loops, would that be bad for my SEO efforts?

Bottom-line: The NOs of internal linking

Michael Martinez: Group expertNot sure what you mean by "internal link loops".If you mean place a link on Page A to Page B, and a link on Page B to Page C, and then a link on Page C to Page A - that`s a normal linking structure. I don`t see how it would create a problem with searâ€¦
El Bikito: Michael Martinez it was the first scenario you mentioned. Thank you so much. And I had to wonder before mass implementation.
Richard Hearne: Group expertNobody outside Google knows for sure AFAIK, and Google has consistently avoided directly answering this question beyond very vague and unhelpful answers (IMO).
Richard Hearne: Group expertReading above comments - now I see this is nothing to do with redirect chains. My comments above assumed you were asking about impact of redirect chains on internal links.
El Bikito: Richard Hearne yeah I can see why anyone would think this was on redirect loops. XD. Appreciate your input regardless.
