Great post Nathan and Great advice as always.

Deep linking is a vital part of any SEO project but most webmasters don’t realize the importance of linking out as well as linking in.

We get that problem all the time, our members only want to get links in and some strive to “Not” place any outgoing links on their pages…

I’d love to see a post by you describing your take on outgoing links and why you believe they are important :)

I have mentioned in several interviews the importance and not only, but the actual “Need” to have outgoing links in order to look natural and gain Google compliance.

This is basic SEO but it needs to be stressed and explained because to many, it is not common sense, and based on the many articles written and on poor advice given, new webmasters are led to believe the opposite.

I’ve just discovered your website. In the last hour I’ve learned more about SEO from your website than I have from others in the past month. I’ve definitely bookmarked it and will return for more.

Nathan, great post. I have use alinks and simple tag plugins for autolinking deeplinks. 1) alinks is good but the creator has vanished from the web, so it has an ongoing support issue. 2) simple tags is also good but you can not control the number of autolinks in each post. Any ideas for autolinking? or any other plugins for SEO that you like. Thanks

Great post! I do deep link casually, but not very often. “Keep deep links to around 5 per post. Posts that are littered with links tend to look spammy.” is a good advice for me.

But here one doubt on this we can do for my intenal pages this process, and what are benifits for me.

plz Reply for me

I’ve bought a couple of products on the SEO for Wordpress subject and you really put these guys to shame. I never really put that much emphasis on deep linking, but I see I’ve really been missing out on some authority. Thanks

@Brian:
I’ve seen evidence in support of that. Most of these social networking sites have very high pagerank homepages and inner pages, and their outgoing links are almost always dofollow. So it would make sense that a link from one of these sites would score you major google points.

Assuming Google crawled the site while you were on a high pagerank page, it is definitely likely that they passed google juice to you.

I have gone through this entire series in the past day. I felt like I was optimizing most of your methods, but you still showed me some new ways to help bump up my rankings (Meta description in particular).

Do you feel like posts that do well with social media also do well in the SERPs? For example, I wrote a post called “How To Master Photoshop In Just One Week.” This post got huge on Stumble Upon and almost hit the front page of Digg. Just as well it was linked to by many different sites.

Right now, if you google “master photoshop,” I’m on the front page, third link down. Now, maybe it is just the fact that I’m a PR5, or I do utilize many methods you talked about in this series, but do you think that social media has anything to do with SERP rankings? I’d be interested to hear what you think.

Great series by the way, I really love it!

Awesome blog and great article. Although I do practice deep linking, I think I could do a better job. I tend to use more external links than deep links.
