Linksin

Linksin is a term occasionally used in web analysis to describe the set of hyperlinks contained within a webpage or document. It is not a standard term in major SEO or web development literature, but it appears in some discussions as a shorthand for evaluating how links contribute to navigation, crawlability, and link equity.

The term is formed from link and in, suggesting links that exist in the content itself. Variants such as “links-in” are sometimes encountered, though they share a similar, informal usage in describing internal and external hyperlinks present on a page.

In practice, linksin is used to analyze the structure of links on a page, including how links support user navigation, how they influence crawl paths for search engines, and how they affect the distribution of link authority across a site. It can be a component of broader link analysis and content optimization workflows.

Common metrics associated with linksin include the total number of links, the split between internal and external links, follow versus nofollow attributes, the placement and prominence of links, and the variety and relevance of anchor text. Auditors may also assess link health by checking for broken or mislabeled links and by evaluating the contextual usefulness of links within the content.

Relation to other terms: linksin is closely related to concepts such as inlinks (inbound links), internal linking, and link density. It is distinct from, though sometimes confused with, LinkedIn, the social networking platform for professionals.
