      Hi,

      I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior.  My website is www.hindimeaning.com  which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts.

      Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.)

      I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links.

      If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links.

      Thanks,

      Mahesh Kumar

        popular posts and related posts are dynamic so they would not show up as URL's when you say widgets

        you mean the widgets containing the URLs that make up most of the website as I have only seen two pages but they look very similar.

        this Would not allow me to click on the other URL until after the video that's what the second link is for

        http://cl.ly/ZkJn

        http://cl.ly/Zk4r

        your widgets contain URLs

        could you please rephrase the question and take note that the code I looked at is not ideal.

            well some of them are and your navigation which obviously should contain internal URLs does contain internal URLs. I am sending a screenshot of one of your widgets and a look at the actual URL which is an internal URL as your other widgets contained the same domain "hindimeaning.com" they are internal URLs as well.

            here is a screenshot below of your entire home page sorry if it looks strange my browser is dragged pretty wide.

            Regardless it looks like you using a Genesis 1 framework is this correct?

            Go into appearance then widgets you will see the URLs and be able to modify them to your liking.

            So far I have not seen external URLs meaning from another domain.

            I hope this is helpful,

            Thomas
