Google indexes more pages of your site. The Google bots crawls more pages of your site as it gets more lined content. But please only link to those pages which is relevant to the mother post. Also, this is really important to choose the relevant anchor text for the linking. If you link the word backlink with a page that does not talk about backlink at all, this is bad interlinking and Google treats those links as spam. Which is not good for SEO. Distribute the internal links equally with all the pages so that there exists a balance between the pages.

How to Get Internal Link Status of Website:

  1. Click on the “Internal Links” tab in your Google Webmaster Tool which is under “Search Traffic” tab.
  2. You will get the links of all your pages.
  3. Click any of the links to know the number of interlinks you have with that page.
