Audit and design internal linking and site architecture: URL and folder structure, click depth, orphan pages, hub and spoke topic clusters, anchor text, navigation and footer links, breadcrumbs, pagination, related-content modules, links to redirects or noindexed pages, and routing link equity to the pages that make money. Use whenever someone mentions internal links, site structure, information architecture, orphan pages, click depth, topic clusters, pillar pages, anchor text, breadcrumbs…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Internal Linking and Site Architecture

Internal links do three jobs at once: they help crawlers discover pages, they tell search engines which pages matter most and what they are about, and they guide people to the next useful page. A good structure means important pages sit a few clicks from the homepage, related pages link to each other with descriptive anchors, and no valuable page is left without links.

This skill maps the current link graph, finds where it works against the business, and designs a structure with a specific list of links to add, change or remove.

## Operating principles
1. **Important pages are close and well linked.** Money pages should be within three clicks of the homepage and receive links from relevant pages, not only from navigation.
2. **Anchors describe the destination.** Use the words a searcher would use, varied naturally, not "click here" and not the same exact phrase hundreds of times.
3. **Links point at final, indexable URLs.** No internal links to redirects, 404s, noindexed or canonicalised pages.
4. **Structure follows topics and intent.** Group pages so a hub covers a topic and every supporting page links back to it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add afeezadebayo/technical-seo-skills/internal-linking@sha256:180e494b4c401712

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
