Now I will explain how you link internally on each page from a specific place on the page to another specific place on that same page.

For example, let’s say you want your readers to have a link a resource (or a source of where you got information on something) on the same (probably long) page.

<a name="unique-identifier">Clicked</a>
This is the TARGET link

<a href="#unique-identifier">jumps to Clicked</a>
This is the POINTER link

unique-identifier is what you chose to call this link. In the pointer link, you must have the # before the unique-identifier word. href= just means that this is the pointer link. Remember also, that they must be in quotation marks.

What is between the angle bracket (><) is something that is your choice also.

This training is perfect Denise! There have been so many times that I've been asked how to use anchor links and how to place links within your content to point to other pages. This will help a ton of people.

Linking from within your content from page to page is something that Google and the other major search engines LOVE. This allows them to crawl your site and find content very easily. You will get a bump in SEO and overall website quality score if you add links on relevant phrases to other pages on your site. In other words "interlinking" your site is a great idea!

Thanks for this tutorial. -Carson

Excellent tutorial.
It took me a couple of years to understand links and linking.
Even now I still wouldn't say I was that confident with using and creating links.
