# SEO-AEO Internal Linking ## Overview Analyses a set of pages and produces a prioritised list of internal link opportunities with exact anchor text, a context sentence showing where each link should appear, orphan page detection, anchor text cannibalization warnings, and a link equity map showing how authority flows across the content. Part of the [SEO-AEO Engine](https://github.com/mrprewsh/seo-aeo-engine). ## When to Use This Skill - Use when building internal links between a new pillar page and its cluster articles - Use when auditing an existing site for orphan pages - Use after content-cluster generates a topic map - Use when you need anchor text suggestions with placement context ## How It Works ### Step 1: Detect Orphan Pages Flag any page with zero incoming internal links. These are invisible to search engines and must be linked immediately. ### Step 2: Build Semantic Overlap Matrix Match pages by primary keyword similarity and content summary to identify natural linking opportunities. ### Step 3: Assign Link Types Every suggestion gets one of four labels: - **Cluster → Pillar** — highest priority, consolidates authority upward - **Pillar → Cluster** — distributes authorit

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
