Blog Audit Challenge 2020
Welcome back for another month of challenges for the Blog Audit Challenge 2020!
I hope you did well with the May challenges. Remember to link up your progress reports on 6th June in the May Link Up.
Each month we'll concentrate on a different area of our blogs.
Life is strange for most of us at the moment with Coronavirus, Lock-downs, etc... If you fall behind with the monthly tasks don't worry. Just catch up when you can. This challenge lasts the whole year.
The Challenges:
January- Plan of action
February- Information pages
March- The trimmings
April- Design
May- SEO
June- Links
July- Quality content
August- Content gaps
September- Developing readership
October- Get social
November- Press and collaborations

Monthly link ups
In order to keep us all on track, and give us a way to see each others progress, I'll be hosting link ups on the first Saturday of every month where participants can share their links and discuss their progress.

June Challenges
Our focus for June is on links.
The June challenges:
1. Internal links
Internal linking is when you link one post to another post on site.
Why add internal links?
1) Decreases your bounce rate
2) Increases user interaction time
3) Improves indexing
4) Increases SEO score
By adding internal links you increase Dwell time and CTR (Click Through Rate). Dwell time is the length of time a visitor spends on a page before returning to the SERPs. More time is what you're aiming for. So what you want to do is create content that hooks readers for a longer time.
In a perfect world a reader would come to your blog, read a post, and then go on to click through to another post on site, and then another, etc...
Make sure every post on your blog links to other posts on your blog.
2. External links
1) Natural backlinks.
These are SEO gold and what we all hope for. This is when someone from another website finds your content useful and so they link their page to yours.
2) Manual backlinks.
This is when you ask other bloggers to link their website with yours by emailing them or submitting sites to directories.
3) Self created backlinks
These are created by you by blog commenting, forum signatures, etc...
High quality backlinks offer most value for SEO so you should be looking for highly authoritative sites that fall into your niche.
