Interlinking

For SEO purposes, it is important to try to interlink to important pages on the same website. More importantly: link to the ‘money pages’.

For example: if you write a text about ‘billendoekjes’ for Luiergids.nl. You can interlink to ‘Zwitsal billendoekjes’ and to an article about changing diapers.

You can see an example at the bottom of this page: https://www.luiergids.nl/billendoekjes/

It can also be used to look at the scructure of an SEO text and more or less do it the same way.

Deadline

Try to the set a decent deadline, to make sure the receiver has some pressure to perform.
