Good / important internal linking?

   Posted in: Search Engine Optimisation

When I first began using the pad file / software approach to building links, I added those pages I’d “padded” and those I intended to, to a block of links near the top of my page. Shown circled below :-

I used the guise of “recent searches” to make the block look genuine. This position showed to google that these pages were very important to the site.

I still think this looks OK, however I don’t think many other people do, I bet you’re one of them.

My problem is now, that I have far more pages that I would like to squeeze into this block. I could, but there would be a lot of links. Therefore I’m trying to come up with an alternative method, but I’ve come up blank.

I was thinking the other day, while looking at Blues hosting site, he has a menu, where when you hover your mouse over the top level items it shows the sub items in that menu and those are Anchor links. So I guess google could pick those up, but they are hidden using DIV, so I thought google may recognise this and treat the links with less important.

Or I could have a box showing popular products, which changes the links every interval. Again I was unsure what google would think of this, with some links disappearing, while new ones being shown, also what interval to use, differing every hit, day, week?

I’m not really convinced my either of these approaches.

Thoughts?
