Helps Search Engines Crawlers

Google crawlers are more easily able to access other posts within your platform and therefore index your site! Make no mistake the ease of site navigation is a factor when it comes to being ranked and the higher your ranking the easier it is to share your content with the help of search engines! Who out there does NOT see the benefit of highly targeted traffic sent to you and at no cost other than your time! A show of hands please:-) Yeah, that's what I thought!

Makes Older Posts Relevant Again

Those old 'archaic' entries collecting all that digital dust in the archives can now be put back to work! Provided relevancy exists there are no elapsed time limits on the entries you choose to link! Great content does not tarnish over time and when the opportunity presents itself it needs to, and should  be shared! Remember the effort, YOURS, that went into researching and composing your best entries, so used them when you can, provided they still offer relevance! Simply think before you link!

Provides 'Stickiness'

Linking really helps you 'further' engage visitors to your site and this 'stickiness' goes a long way towards developing loyal readers! If what people have just read is of interest to them it's likely they'll look for more of the same, don't you think? Well by linking to other posts it makes it easier for you to share your content and more convenient for readers to find their way around! One thing about people online is if you challenge them in any way they are likely to bounce to the next available site!

Provides Unique Navigational Tour

Every person does NOT have the same taste therefore the links they choose to follow will be different and allows visitors to create their own unique tour! It's unlikely any 2 visitors will have the same exact experience in terms of the updates they viewed so in a way, you're providing 'customized' tours for every individual! Damn you're good and I'll bet you didn't even know it!
