Link It Like It’s Hot – Sassy Guide to Internal Linking
Link It Like It’s Hot… The Sassy Guide to Internal Linking
Darling, if your website were a house, internal links would be those secret passageways between the wine cellar and the rooftop spa. Ignore them, and your guests (and Google) will get lost in the pantry. Let’s change that, shall we?
🏠 Structure, Baby!
Picture this: your site is a majestic pyramid. Not the dry, dusty kind. We’re talking Cleopatra meets Martha Stewart.
- Top Floor: Homepage. The throne room.
- Mid-Level: Your fabulous category pages (“Pet Training,” “Pet Nutrition,” or “Gourmet Tuna for Overachieving Cats”).
- Bottom Floor: Deep, juicy blogs and content pieces. The boudoir of SEO.
Why? Because a structured site helps Google and guests alike feel like they’re gliding through a gallery, not stumbling through your sock drawer.
💕 Cornerstone Content? Your Website’s Beyoncé
These are your showstoppers. The glittery gowns of your content wardrobe. They answer BIG questions. They sparkle.
How to treat them:
- Link all your related posts to them. Show them off!
- Keep them fresh. Beyoncé doesn’t do reruns.
- Use anchor text that actually says something, e.g., “ultimate pet training bible,” not “click here” (ugh).
🤠 Contextual Links = Matchmaker Magic
Internal linking is like setting up your friends. That article on crate training? It needs to meet your blog on anxiety in rescue dogs. Sparks will fly, SEO will swoon.
Example:
“Crate training is step one. But what if your pet has feelings? Check out our piece on calming techniques for anxious pups.”
🔗 Related Articles? The Afterparty
Don’t let readers ghost you after one post. Woo them with a juicy “Related Articles” section.
Like so:

- The Zen Art of Cleaning Pet Hair From Everything
🎥 Embed That Drama (aka Videos)

Set reminders to check your site regularly:
- Are pages getting no love? Link to them!
- Broken links? Fix ‘em.
- Old content? Update the links with newer, snazzier pieces.
Tools like Yoast, Screaming Frog, and a dash of sass will help.
Final Word from LadyArc
Internal linking is not just SEO foreplay, it’s the full-on wooing of your digital guests. When done right, it says: “Stay. Explore. Love me.” And really, isn’t that what we all want?
Now go forth and link it like it’s hot.
Xoxo,
