The little bot that crawled my entire website found every instance of the word LG the manufacturer the phone manufacturer and linked to my LG page. It gets a little manipulative. Theres probably some places where it makes great sense but every single time the word is mentioned youve probably seen some websites like these although fewer of them in the last three or four years than in the five years before that when this tactic was really prevalent and Google wasnt penalizing for it.
Weve actually seen examples where people removed that and they made it much Greece Mobile Number List more subtle. They only did it on the first instance of the word on a page and they only did it on categorylevel pages or bloglevel pages not deeply index pages or paginated versions of things that kind of stuff. In fact they saw their rankings rise. I love this. They saw their rankings rise like almost immediately. There was a really a cool example a few years back. I think I might have done a Whiteboard Friday about that correction I didnt do a WB Friday on this topic after all apologies. So with manipulative internal links especially ones that are stuffed into footers or jammed into every word instance or those kinds of things Google tends to perceive that as manipulative which in fact it really is.
Youre not doing that for visitors benefit. you with your rankings and in fact its probably doing the opposite. General rule of thumb If you cant find any way to justify how something that youre doing for SEO also benefits a visitor maybe you should reconsider it with a few exceptions. XML sitemaps might be a reasonable one. Its the case that oftentimes the ones that are in footers or in structured template areas of a website that tend not to get clicked by people sometimes a sidebar can do it.
