WEBVTT 00:00.170 --> 00:06.200 Now I'm going to show you how to create internal links from a page to itself to boost your on page SEO 00:06.200 --> 00:08.360 by writing HTML by hand. 00:08.390 --> 00:14.510 You can do this on any website, but WordPress actually has an HTML editor, so we'll actually use that. 00:14.570 --> 00:20.030 So we'll go to the blog of this website and we'll find a page we haven't touched yet. 00:20.030 --> 00:21.320 So let's work on this. 00:21.320 --> 00:22.850 Songs with similes. 00:22.850 --> 00:24.770 This is like a keyword that people search. 00:24.770 --> 00:27.710 So let's go and edit this post just like before. 00:27.740 --> 00:33.350 Let me make a copy on our browser so that we can easily get that URL if we need it. 00:33.380 --> 00:35.720 There's other ways, but I find this is easier. 00:35.720 --> 00:37.850 And then we're going to edit one of them. 00:37.850 --> 00:39.770 So we're going to edit this post. 00:39.980 --> 00:42.770 We need to switch to HTML view. 00:42.800 --> 00:45.800 And on the right side you see I have these three dots. 00:45.830 --> 00:52.370 I'm going to click them here I have as one of the options visual editor and code editor. 00:52.370 --> 00:54.650 So I'm going to want to switch to code editor. 00:54.650 --> 00:57.170 And it's basically showing me my HTML. 00:57.200 --> 01:00.170 I'm going to just write HTML code. 01:00.170 --> 01:09.890 Let's say I want to scroll down and I want to Link to right here, right above this H2 tag. 01:10.160 --> 01:13.490 Explore more poetry, translations, and my own poetry. 01:13.520 --> 01:14.660 Whatever this is. 01:14.720 --> 01:20.960 So I'm going to write a name, and you can just do this by hand in your case. 01:20.960 --> 01:24.140 And I'm going to create my own anchor tag. 01:24.350 --> 01:28.430 So the long tail keyword here is translated songs with similes. 01:28.460 --> 01:28.670 Right. 01:28.700 --> 01:32.480 Because there's some songs I translated from a different language. 01:32.480 --> 01:37.400 So we have this a name translated song with similes and we just close the A tag. 01:37.400 --> 01:43.190 So we're just going to copy that Ctrl C and then we're going to create a link from this page to itself. 01:43.190 --> 01:46.190 So let's say we're going to make a table of contents. 01:46.220 --> 01:47.270 Strong. 01:47.300 --> 01:49.160 Table of contents. 01:49.190 --> 01:51.020 Strong just makes things bolded. 01:51.020 --> 01:53.240 So we close that strong tag. 01:53.270 --> 01:58.340 So under the table of contents, you see I ended up adding a big block of HTML. 01:58.370 --> 01:59.780 I'll actually walk you through it. 01:59.810 --> 02:01.370 This UL tag. 02:01.370 --> 02:02.600 This is the opening tag. 02:02.600 --> 02:05.510 This is the closing tag that's to open a bullet point. 02:05.510 --> 02:11.160 And each item in a bullet point is open and closed is inside this Li tag. 02:11.160 --> 02:11.490 You see. 02:11.520 --> 02:12.180 Li tag. 02:12.180 --> 02:13.950 And this is the closing of the I tag. 02:13.950 --> 02:16.500 And inside is basically a link. 02:17.040 --> 02:21.000 Let's walk through what the link is to a href equals. 02:21.000 --> 02:29.670 Here's the https Typekit best song, then the URL of the blog post song with similes and then pound 02:29.700 --> 02:30.060 sign. 02:30.060 --> 02:31.410 And this is the anchor text. 02:31.440 --> 02:37.710 We made translated songs with similes, and the same thing on the next line is the same thing, just 02:37.710 --> 02:39.480 a different pound sign. 02:39.480 --> 02:41.640 Here I made another anchor text. 02:41.640 --> 02:44.070 More songs with metaphors and similes. 02:44.160 --> 02:46.230 You can see if I scroll down. 02:46.260 --> 02:51.870 Here is our original anchor text that we made translated songs with similes. 02:51.870 --> 02:57.390 And if we scroll just a little bit up right here is this more songs with metaphors and similes. 02:57.390 --> 03:02.820 So if you actually go to that page now we have two items in our table of contents. 03:02.820 --> 03:08.550 And if we click one, like translated songs with similes or why there are more songs with metaphors, 03:08.580 --> 03:09.690 let's click this one. 03:09.780 --> 03:12.270 You see, it went to that same part of the page. 03:12.280 --> 03:12.790 Why? 03:12.790 --> 03:18.790 There are more songs with metaphors and similes, so it's pretty simple and you can just copy the HTML. 03:18.820 --> 03:23.590 I'll have this snippet in the resources of this video, and I'll tell you exactly what to change. 03:23.590 --> 03:30.730 So you would copy this HTML snippet and you would change the website name, then the blog post name 03:30.730 --> 03:31.390 right here. 03:31.390 --> 03:33.010 Songs with similes. 03:33.010 --> 03:40.150 Of course you would change that to your page name, and then you would change the name in the anchor 03:40.150 --> 03:40.750 text. 03:40.750 --> 03:44.290 And of course you would change the text that's clickable. 03:44.560 --> 03:48.760 That's the clickable text right here on the page you see translated songs with similes. 03:48.760 --> 03:51.220 That's this clickable text. 03:51.220 --> 03:57.790 And of course, when you go down to wherever that block of the page is, you would naturally, of course, 03:57.790 --> 04:00.850 make sure you change this, the anchor text you make. 04:00.880 --> 04:07.930 And just make sure that this anchor text is consistent with the anchor text you're adding in here. 04:07.930 --> 04:09.250 And then it should work. 04:09.250 --> 04:17.290 So that's how you create links on a page that point to that same page by writing HTML by hand.
