Furthermore, your user needs to find what they are looking for. And they want to find it fast. Otherwise, they won’t be sticking around your slow little blog. Their choices are endless. So provide a good experience in order for them to return.
Internal and External linking.
Google gives you something called backlinks. When you do a link, you get backlinks and that gives your site authority. So it helps you get higher on Google Search results. But be careful when linking because you get good and bad backlinks. Make sure you create good link-worthy content.
