As you probably know, many small websites have
links on each page of their website, linking to all the
other pages on the site. This makes it easy for visitors (and
search engines) to access all the pages.
These links from one page to other pages on the same site
are called "cross links".
For small websites, with just a few pages, it's easy
to cross link every page to all the other pages on the
site.
But what if you have a large site with dozens or even
hundreds of pages?
You can add an index page, but this is not as convenient
for visitors - as they have to go to the index page and then
select which content page they want to see. They can also get
swamped with too many links and decide it's too much hassle to
look through them all.
And it removes the "casual surfing" benefit of seeing a
small list of links at the side of the page and clicking on
one that looks interesting.
So without cross linking, your visitors will on
average view fewer pages of your site before leaving - and
this of course reduce your chances of making money from
them.
There is a way around this - which is to link every
page to a subset of the other pages on
the site. For example, you could link each page to ten
of your other pages.
But to avoid search engine issues, you need to maintain an
even link distribution, so that the overall number of links
pointing to each page is roughly the same.
And if you have more than twenty pages, doing that yourself
can get very complicated.
Cross Link Randomizer offers an easy automatic way
to do it.
Instead of inserting static links into your web pages, you
just insert a special snippet of code into your
pages where you want links to be shown.
The Cross Link Randomizer script scans your
web host to build a list of all the pages in your website.
The script automatically determines the file names of all
your pages and creates links using those file names.
For example, if you have pages on your site called:
DogTraining.html
DogFood.html
DogCare.html
DogBeds.html
DogLeads.html
DogBiscuits.html
The script would create links that look like this:
Dog Training
Dog Food
Dog
Care
Dog Beds
Dog
Leads
Dog Biscuits
(the links above are deactivated - and are just
to show you what the links look like)
For each web page, the script randomly selects a subset of
the links (you determine how many) and inserts the links
into the page.
So for example if you decided that each page should have
three random links, the script might pick the following three
links to insert into the DogTraining.html page:
Dog Food
Dog
Care
Dog
Leads
The script might pick the following three links to
insert into the DogFood.html page:
Dog
Training
Dog
Beds
Dog Biscuits
And the script might pick the following three links to
insert into the DogCare.html page:
Dog
Training
Dog
Beds
Dog
Biscuits
The result is that every page on your website links to a
randomly selected set of other pages on the same
site.
If you add a new page or even delete a page, the
changes are instantly and automatically integrated into
the rest of the site.
