Automated Internal Linking with Tag-Based Content Graphs

Why Internal Links Matter Internal links distribute page authority, help Google discover content, and keep users engaged. For 80+ articles, manual linking is unsustainable. Tag-Based Link Graph Every article has tags in frontmatter. The algorithm finds related articles by tag overlap: function buildLinkMap ( articles ) { const linkMap = {}; for ( const article of articles ) { const related = articles . filter ( a => a . slug !== article . slug ) . map ( a => ({ slug : a . slug , overlap : a . tags . filter ( t => article . tags . includes ( t )). length })) . filter ( a => a . overlap > 0 ) . sort (( a , b ) => b . overlap - a . overlap ) . slice ( 0 , 6 ); linkMap [ article . slug ] = related ; } return linkMap ; } Output Format The script generates a TypeScript file with related articles that components import for rendering. Dry Run Mode Run with --dry-run to preview changes before committing. Impact After implementing automated internal linking: Average internal links per article: 1
