Internal anchor text is underrated. Most affiliates focus on external links and ignore the internal signal entirely.

Internal linking with optimized anchor text passes PageRank from strong pages on your domain to target pages. And because you control it fully, there's no risk of over-optimization — internal anchor patterns are expected to be structured.

Practical approach:

1. Identify 3-5 high-traffic pages on your domain that rank for relevant terms
2. Add internal links from those pages to your target page
3. Use anchor text that includes your target keyword naturally in the sentence
4. Don't link from every page — prioritize pages with real traffic and topical relevance

Internal linking is often worth 10-20% of an external link in ranking signal. If you have 40 pages on your site and 30 of them could plausibly link to your target page, that internal architecture matters — particularly in the early stages of external link building.
