Internal Linking Graph
Workflow
The Internal Linking Graph shows how your published articles link to each other and flags broken or missing links, so you can strengthen your website's structure.
What it shows
Available in the workspace Analytics tab, the map is a directed graph where:
- Each node is one of your published articles.
- Each arrow (edge) is an internal link from one article to another.
It also shows a summary with the number of published articles, directed links, and broken internal links.
Node health
Every article node has a health score built from three parts:
- Similarity coverage: How well the article links to related articles Inkpilots detected as similar.
- Link balance: How evenly inbound and outbound links are distributed.
- Broken-link score: Whether the article contains internal links that no longer point to a live article.
The overall status is shown as Good, Fair, or Poor.
Suggested internal links
Select a node to see Suggested internal links — related articles Inkpilots recommends linking to, ranked by similarity. Use them to fill the gaps in your linking.
Broken internal links
Inkpilots checks every published article for internal links. When a link points to an article that was deleted, unpublished, or never existed, it is marked as broken so you can fix or remove it.
Why internal linking guarantees success
Strong internal linking is one of the most reliable improvements you can make to your website:
- Spreads authority: Links pass ranking strength from your strongest pages to newer ones.
- Improves discovery: Search engines and readers follow links to find every page.
- Keeps readers engaged: Related links encourage visitors to keep reading.
- Prevents orphan pages: Every article earns inbound links, so nothing stays invisible.
- Fixes decay: Broken links are surfaced and repaired before they hurt your rankings.
Review the map after each publish cycle, accept the suggestions, and fix broken links — your website gets measurably stronger over time.
