One in-content link beats ten in your sidebar, nav, and footer combined. Not close.
Controversial but: placement is a ranking factor people pretend doesn't exist. Google's own reasonable-surfer logic weights links by likelihood of a click — and a relevant link inside a paragraph crushes boilerplate stuffed in template chrome.
Your sidebar "popular posts" links are template furniture. They repeat sitewide, they're position-discounted, and the model knows it.
Move your most important internal links into prose, near relevant text, above the fold of that section.
Still putting your money links in the sidebar? Tell me why.
