Internal linking structure is commonly known as website navigation and it is an important part of a Search Engine Optimization. Internal linking is a fundamental requirement for your end user and search engine spiders. Logical and intuitive navigation helps a visitor to find their way around your website easily and also helps to increase your response rates like enquiry calls, sales etc. The internal link structure of a website allows spreading the link power of a website's home page to the individual pages of website.

For an example, if 1000 other websites link to your home page, then your home page has a certain link power that can be spread to the other pages of your site. If you link to 50 pages on your home page then each page will get 1/50 of the link power. If you link to only 10 pages, then each page will get much more link power passed to it (1/10).

In this way, link power and rankings are directly proportional to each other so the more link power a page receives, there will be more chances for that page to get higher rankings on major search engines. Internal link structure of a website allows it to direct search engines to the most important pages of the website.

A well-constructed and coded linking structure helps search engine spiders to easily access your site. But often webmaster do not pay attention on internal linking structure of their website which sometimes creates problem in indexing by search engine spiders and also makes it harder to get rank well on major search engines.
