2.6.1 - Introduction to Kevin Indig's TIPR model

The Sheets template in this module is based on Kevin Indig's "True Internal Page Rank" model for optimizing a site's internal linking structure.  

The gist of the TIPR model is to balance three internal ranks between your pages:

  • Internal links in (pagerank)

  • Internal links out (cheirank)

  • External backlinks in


To evenly spread authority throughout your site, by adding new internal inlinks / outlinks where needed.
