Internal Links is not a new word for them who keep in touch with SEO or Internet Marketing. Still who are new to this field should know following definition.
An internal link is a hyperlink that is a reference or navigation element in a document to another section of the same document or to another document that may be on or part of the same website or domain of the internet.
Internal Linking
Links are considered either “external” or “internal” depending on perspective. Generally, a link to a page outside the same domain is considered external, whereas one in the same domain is considered internal.
However, these definitions become clouded when the same organization operates multiple domains functioning as a single web experience, e.g. when a secure commerce website is used for purchasing things displayed on a non-secure website.
Similarly, a blogging website might have thousands of different blogs, in which
context one might view a link as “internal” only if it linked within the same blog, not to other blogs within the same domain.

Many times we are not understanding value of internal links. Try to be focus on Anchor Text too. I am sharing an example for it.
Option 1 : Did you check my article about Canonical URL ? No Just click here to know more ..
Option 2 : Hey ! Why don’t you check my article about Canonical URL
What’s the different between Option one and Option two ? virtually nothing. I want to focus you attention for my article about Canonical URL but what is the best practice to do ? the second option as I am using that as Anchor Text and I am killing two birds with one stone.

I am using this plugin and works fine. Thumbs up.
Yeah, that plugin is working very well for SEO
But I still prefer manual linking to related articles.
Hey Jaydip,
Nice post. One thing I would like to add here is the use of “Nofollow” tag for not so important pages like contact us, disclaimer and privacy policy pages. That will give opportunity to important pages to get more link juice.
Keep it up…
