Most of the sites mostly use too many links which directs to their home page, which is not a very good practice. If you try to strengthen your internal pages to boost SEO it would be better than that.
- CONTACT US
This is another mistake which can be commonly seen in many of websites we daily use. They normally practice that at the end of the post they write ‘Give us a call to know more’ which directs to “contact us”, you should not have to link it with the contact us page until or unless it us very necessary.
