      I have a few page rank 2 articles on my site.  Will placing links to other pages on my site with appropriate anchor text in the body of these articles help the other pages to rank higher for the anchor text i place in these links in the articles?

      Thanks in advance!

      Ron

        It should do, though don't overdo it and fill your articles with hundreds of keyword rich anchor text links.. but where relevant and useful, in context, adding internal links to the body of your own articles will certainly help the linked pages rank for the anchor text you link with.

        The more overall authority your site builds up over time, the more pronounced this effect will be, as you'll have more link equity ('juice') to spread around your internal pages.

          Hi Ron, yes well-placed, relevant links with well-written, non-spammy anchor text should help your other pages to rank higher.

            yes .. it is fine as long as you are not using it for the sole purpose of giving a push to your website's visibility.. take it as an attempt to make it easier for people to navigate your website.
