What is Internal Linking Authority (IAS)
Twylu’s IAS looks at 6 main on-site internal linking factors when scoring a page’s internal linking authority. All of the above factors named below are scored in different ways and given different weights to the final IAS score.
1- Number of internal links
This calculation looks at the number of internal links to a page, taking into account the number of internal pages across the whole site.
2- Crawl depth
How deep in the site’s structure does the page sit? In other words, how many clicks does it take to get there?
3- Outlinks
How many times does the page link out (internally and externally), in comparison with the amount of content on the page?
4- Page in Main Nav?
Does this page exist in the main navigation?
5- Referring Domains to Linking Pages
Of the pages that link internally to this page, do any of them have referring domains pointing to them and how many?
6- Anchor Text Usage
