Advantages of Having Deep Links

I have been blogging for more than eight years and one of the frequently asked questions I noticed during all these years in webmaster forums is the difference between getting backlinks to the home page and internal pages. There are still many webmasters who are not aware of the benefits to secure backlinks to internal web pages. For a product or service website with one page, it is enough to build backlinks to just the home page, but it is not enough for a big dynamic website.

 To get more targeted visitors to a big website, you need to develop backlinks to the inner web pages. Deep links refer to the links pointing to the inner pages other than the homepage. If a webmaster is developing backlinks to just the home page and not to its inner pages, the entire backlink structure looks suspicious, and Google may detect it soon.

 It is because if all the backlinks are achieved by natural methods, they should be pointing to relevant inner page. Many potential inner pages are not appearing in Google Search results due to the lack of backlinks to them.

Since Google treats each web pages separately, we should promote each one separately. However, if you build low-quality backlinks to certain web pages and get Penguin slash, your entire domain will be penalized.

Advantages of Getting Deep Links
  1. Looks more natural in Google's eye:

    It is true that most of the natural backlinks developed over time are pointing to the inner pages rather than the index page (homepage).


  2. Deep links help inner pages rank high in Google Search results

  3. They help inner pages to get higher PR

  4. Improve overall traffic:

    Since deep links improve the ranking of inner web pages, it will improve the organic traffic.

  5. More targeted visitors: Since they improve the search engine ranking of inner web pages, more visitors from Search Engines for the targeted goal reach your domain.

  6. Improve the crawling rate of your website:

    When spiders follow new deep links, it increases the chance of total crawl rate. To increase the crawl rate in Webmaster Tools account, click on the link below.

  7. Deep links improve the relevancy:

    Getting deep links from relevant pages will improve the overall relevancy of your website.

PathPing traces the entire route from the source to destination and ping each hop in the route as the name suggests. So we can say PathPing has the combined effect of ping and tracert.



Importance of PathPing Tool
By a single command pathping trace, the entire route from the source node to the destination with details of each hops in the route as each hop is pinged. So the advantage is the ease of finding the exact hop which causes packet routing issues.
