How many internal links to put in a single post?

The longer the content, the more internal links you can naturally include, especially if they provide value and relevance to the reader. I’ve seen longer articles, around 5k words, successfully include 20-30 internal links while still ranking well. As long as the links are useful and add context, and you use them to break up the flow of lengthy content, having more internal links can be beneficial without harming SEO or readability.
For example, you can follow the below rule

500 words = 2 internal links  
1000 words = 3 internal links  
2000 words = 4 internal links

My Hosting provider are conducting maintenance and it may last up to 24 hours, will this hurt SEO of my site?


Extended downtime can indeed negatively affect your SEO, especially if Google’s bots attempt their regular crawl and find your site inaccessible. While it won’t cause your rankings to plummet overnight, prolonged outages can gradually hurt your visibility and rankings.

If it’s the second time your site has been down, it’s a clear sign that it might be time to switch to a more reliable hosting provider. I’ve experienced this firsthand with a site that was down for two weeks—it took three months to recover traffic from Google, and even then, it never fully bounced back.

Are 301-Redirected URLs with Hashtags Still Passing Link Equity?


Yes they do pass link equity. However, these specific hashtags act as anchors to different sections of a page, and these sections likely receive a relevance boost. This technique is evident in how Google handles featured snippets, where they link directly to a particular section of a page that’s considered most relevant to the query. By directing users to specific parts of a page, the algorithm highlights the section that best answers the question, improving its prominence and relevance.

Are Wikipedia Backlinks useful?


Since Wikipedia links are marked as no-follow, there isn’t a direct SEO benefit in terms of link authority for search engines. However, links from sources like Wikipedia can still be valuable, especially if the Wikipedia page ranks well in Google. This can drive referral traffic to your site, providing indirect benefits such as increased visibility and user engagement, even without passing on direct link equity.
