Hold visitors back, with back links

With back links in your blog, you can guide the readers to various related pages on your website or other websites with whom the blog has a collaboration or a paid partnership. In this manner, you continue to hold your visitors back on your website for more information, thus proving the updated nature of your website. Cooking websites like delish.com insert back links in most of their advanced recipes. These back links take the viewer to basic recipes on the same website. As a result of this, the reader and viewer is gripped to the website for all recipe related queries rather than checking elsewhere on other sites.
Pro tip- Don't insert too many back links in one paragraph. This takes away the essence of the blog post that the reader is reading and shifts focus to different posts, thus failing to keep him engrossed in one post at a time.
