This week in niche edits: the host's internal links matter too

This week in niche edits: the host's internal links matter too

An angle that surfaced in three places this week.

— An SEO blog points out that an insert on a page no internal links point to is a near-orphan — the host's own site barely passes it strength. Ask how the placement page is linked internally.
— A forum thread shares before/after of asking a host to add one internal link to the placement page; the insert's value rose without buying anything new.
— Also circulating: a Reddit comment thread on 'deep page' inserts that hosts hide three clicks from the homepage.

Editor's note: you're not just buying a link out — you're inheriting how well the host links in. Both matter.

Pick of the week: the internal-link before/after. A free ask most buyers never make.
