They can also be referred to as &#8220;broken links&#8221;. <\/span><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"9\">Broken links aren&#8217;t just negative from an SEO viewpoint however, they cause a negative user experience on your website. <\/span><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"6\">It isn&#8217;t a good idea for any of your visitors to be redirected to a &#8220;404 Not Found&#8221; page.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"7\">This creates a negative first impression, and the visitor might never visit your website again. No thanks to bad technical SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"10\">This is the reason you have to be aware of damaged links that are on your website frequently and make repairs in the event that they are found on your website.

Optimize Internal Links<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"3\">Internal links are links that connect to another page on the same site. Although adding internal links is part of on-page SEO, optimizing it is an important part of technical SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6088\" src=\"https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"website Internal Links\" width=\"840\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-767x542.jpg 767w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-2048x1448.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-212x150.jpg 212w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-495x350.jpg 495w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-788x557.jpg 788w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/imarena.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/website-Internal-Links.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight active\" data-id=\"6\">Although\u00a0the internal link\u00a0might not have the same impact on search engine rankings as\u00a0external hyperlinks, they are crucial in aiding search engines to understand the hierarchy of information for your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"4\">The best way to optimize your internal links is by using descriptive keywords in anchor text. This is to provide a clear idea of the terms the page is trying to reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>10. Canonical Tags<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"8\">When thinking of technical SEO best practices, a canonical tag is regarded to be a sophisticated SEO strategy because they require careful implementation.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"11\">Like the noindex tag and robots.txt file, incorrect canonicalization of your site can significantly impact the way Google spiders crawls and ranks your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight active\" data-id=\"9\">A canonical tag is utilized to indicate that a page is the same as the page it&#8217;s canonical to.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"6\">By default, all pages must be<\/span>\u00a0<em><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"1\">self-canonical<\/span><\/em><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"2\">.<\/span> <span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"10\">If you&#8217;d like to apply another canonical on the page, you can make use of tools such as Yoast SEO or request your developer to apply the code on various pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"12\">According to my experience, canonical tags are mainly utilized on online stores since they usually contain multiple listings of products with little difference from one other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"13\">Be aware that if you need to determine if Google is properly reading your canonical tag, you can check this using Google&#8217;s URL inspection tool in Google Search Console.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"13\">Simply, click on <em>Coverage<\/em>\u00a0and it will display the canonical declarations of Google and the user-declared canonical.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"14\">Google always adheres to the canonical that is declared by the user, but in some instances, the bot of Google will select its own canonical since it could discover similar pages on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>11. <span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"1\"><strong>Implement Structured Data Markup<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight active\" data-id=\"2\">Although structured data isn&#8217;t a factor in rankings in any way, it aids search engines to have an understanding of your site and the content.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"4\">Using the correct structured data markup can allow your website to be able to show rich<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/guides\/intro-structured-data\" data-at-href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/guides\/intro-structured-data\"> snippets of content in search results<\/a>\u00a0and increase your click-through rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"3\">It is possible to make use of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/search.google.com\/structured-data\/testing-tool\" data-at-href=\"https:\/\/search.google.com\/structured-data\/testing-tool\">Google&#8217;s test of structured data tool<\/a> to ensure that the markup that you&#8217;ve implemented has not been tampered with and is recognized by Google.
