Link to everything twice … REALLY
When I finish reading an article or blog post that links liberally to other sites, the first thing I want to do is visit some of those sites.
But I frequently have a hard time figuring out which links are most useful to me. Even if the blog design makes it easy to find links.
Assuming that this isn’t just a personal issue, I will start adding a list of web pages “linked to from this post” at the bottom of all of my posts.
- Yes, it is duplication.
- No, it is not an SEO strategy.
- Wikipedia does it in footnotes.
- It simply helps readers.
I updated my last post to include a list. Take a look and tell me what you think.
Linked to from this post:
