I've chosen two pages to do this with. I'm hoping to nudge them up just a few spaces. If the experiment works I'll expand to more pages.

I am linking related text that is already in other pages so the anchor text varies. This won't be large scaled, just taking advantage of the few other articles that touch on the target topic.

I am not removing any navigation though I don't put nearly the number of links in my side menu as I used to. I believe that was causing some -950 problems that I had several months ago. Also I find in my analytics that people tend to click on the top few links and ignore the ones on down the list. So why not just link those top few? I still have universal navigation at the top but linking to just a few major sections of my site.

I believe the in content type of linking is great for readers

I'm hoping it will increase clickthroughs as well.
