@SI – Setting up a custom search engine sounds like a pretty good idea. I have a Lijit account, but I haven’t taken the time to implement that.

I sent you an email… would love to have a guest post from you on how to set up the system you describe.

Who else would like this? Leave a comment, let’s inspire SI to take it on!

Best way that I know how to interlink, particularly if you have a blog network of multiple blogs, is to setup a Google Custom Search Engine that includes only your blogs. Very simple and effective way to find those pages to link out to or in from, across your entire blog network. Using Google Custom Search explains how. .-= Secondary Income´s last blog ..Landing Page Keywords Update =-.

You have a good point.

This technique works best when I know pretty much what the article I’m looking for.

But as you say, pulling up a list of likely candidates can be useful.

I probably didn’t make it clear enough in the post, but I use the search box on the Edit Posts page quite a bit as well.

I guess one advantage of searching from the user’s side using your own site search is the fact you might pull up reeeally old articles that could still be useful.

Depending on how many posts you’ve written on your blog, you might have forgotten about them, or they may just be lost in the fray of your edit posts page when you’re browsing for potential posts to link to.

That being said, I still do it the way you’ve outlined about too, but I might try the searching function and see where it leads me.

It would be interesting to see how larger blogs like ProBlogger.net or CopyBlogger pull up references to their own posts so consistently..
