Internal Linking System

Indexes 925+ pages with context. Suggests relevant links with proper anchor text based on content semantics.

About this system

Internal linking is one of the most neglected SEO opportunities. Most sites have orphan pages, poor anchor text, and random link placement. This system fixes all of that.

The system maintains an index of all site pages with their content context, keywords, and topic clusters. When you write new content, it suggests relevant internal links with appropriate anchor text.

It also identifies orphan pages (pages with no internal links pointing to them) and suggests where to add links from existing content.
