How are ya ma' friends?

Just a quick one, about internal linking on your site/blog

We all know that when we create a new post it is a very good idea to link it internal to few older posts.

For every 1000 words, I would link back at least 5 times to old posts ... but everyone with his own opinion and strategy :)

I researched about internal linking last hour, and I was very surprised to see that no one speaks about linking back old posts to the new ones ... strange right?

What I mean, example:

Let's say that we have a new site with only 10 posts published.

We all been there, right? :))

OK, then it is pretty simple to link internal posts from 6 to 10 to 5 older posts...

But what we do with the first, second, third ones?

How do we link them to at lest 5 older posts? :D

OK, you got my point... lets us talk now about the post 126 from 300 posts..

If it is relevant, I would go back and link post 126 to any other post from 127 to 300, right?

I bet you have some posts on your site that never link internally to newer posts... naughty! :)

Hope this was useful,

Cheers
