Reviewing your Results in Internallinking.io

Building Linking Graphs

After setting up your recipe, you can click on "Build Linking Graph" to start building a linking graph for your pages. The linking graph uses your recipe and the most recent crawl to decide which pages should link to which, in which module and with which anchor text.

Using Linking Graphs

Under 'Versions', you can view your linking graph along with a version history over time. This allows you to access any previous linking graphs built. The Version History screen provides a quick overview of your internal linking results. This includes:

  • Total number of pages: Pages crawled and analyzed.
  • Source pages: Pages hosting internal links.
  • Target pages: Pages receiving internal links.
  • Boosted pages: Pages with artificially increased internal links.

You can use this to compare results over time and track changes in your internal linking strategy.

If you only need to generate links once, you can use the Export URL feature. This allows you to access the a Google Sheet with your links for manual implementation.

For automated linking, you can set up integrations under 'Integration'.

Reviewing your Results

Reviewing the results from Internallinking.io helps you verify that the internal links generated match your expectations, check if your recipe is working effectively and analyze the relevance and distribution of internal links across your site.

How to Review your Results

Click the URL under the 'Export URL' section to view the results as a Google Sheet. The spreadsheet will contain:

  • Source URL: The page hosting the internal links.
  • Anchor Text: The clickable text of the internal link.
  • Target URL: The page being linked to. Check if the anchor text and target URLs are relevant and aligned with your content strategy.
  • Position: The module on the page where the links appear. If you have multiple modules, ensure links are distributed correctly.
  • Score: The relevance score (1–10) between the source and target pages. The relevance score ranges from 1 (unrelated) to 10 (virtually identical).

You can also filter and sort the above columns as necessary for further insight.

If you’ve set up dynamic internal linking, links are automatically published on your site via server-side integration and you can choose to publish manually or enable auto-publish.

Whether you’re using static internal linking (one-off export) or dynamic internal linking (live integration), reviewing results is a crucial step. If you’re new to the platform, you can sign up and use the 1,000 free credits to test internal linking on a subset of pages.
