Ask Can over-optimizing of internal links hurt SEO?

[Newman]

It is always better to do SEO in moderation. When contents are written with over-optimizing, it may hurt the SEO. This means, such a content may be suspected, and the website, flagged. Internal links should be done naturally. Appearing at least 3 to 4 times is okay.

This will not seem as if you are advertising such links instead of the contents itself. What's your view about this? Share it in the comment section below.

Thats the fact. SEO should be done in moderation. When it is too much, there is tendency that such a website may be flagged as well as having more chance of being flagged for not enough as well. It is always better if the SEO is done in such a way that it will invoke natural emotion from the audience.

 

[Newman]

Yes. One thing about SEO that makes it somehow difficult for the strategists is that everything needs to be done in moderation. You need to make sure that you are not over doing your internal linking. When it is over done, the contents can be suspected and be flagged

I feel yes, too many internal links can actually confuse search engines. If you link every single word to different pages, Google might not know which page is most important, and it can look spammy. Keep links useful and only where they naturally fit in the content.

Exactly. Your aim is to help Google understand your contents and not to get it confuse it. When the links are too many, Google may be confused to know which one is the right one. It may not even let you have authority as you need to have as a content creator
