As I had previously mentioned in my previous post, linking your blog posts with keywords you use in new posts is a great way to make the visitor engrossed in your blog for a longer time. Many authors write only half the article and link the other half to another post. I don't use this way because I feel that it's frustrating for the reader to go from one page to another just in the search of what he wants. I rather place links of some other related posts in my blog which the visitor might be interested in.

For example, if you have written a post on how to increase traffic to your blog, then you might place a link to another post on your blog about search engine optimization. This way, the reader finds everything he needs and is often satisfied.

Placing links within your blog to other posts of your blog has a few more advantages.

• It refers your visitors to older posts which many visitors usually don't have time to look to.
• In case someone tries to copy your article and place it on your blog, then your link also goes with it (unless he removes it manually that is). It is a feature in blogger that when you copy anything from a blog and paste it on another blog, everything goes with it, the headings, posts, points, pictures and the links. So even if someone took your post without your permission, he actually did a favor to you by giving a backlink to you!

So always remember to place links within your posts referring to more relevant posts in your blog.
