One internal linking method is to place links in the footer of your pages, along with absolute links and keyword-rich anchor text. This has two advantages. It assists in the search engine indexing process, as well as providing a site-wide repetition of your primary keywords.

There is another method which suggests that you keep the pages structured and have a high number of inbound links to each page in your site. This can create keyword dominance for each page in the site, and spread out and take over the long tail. When using this method, it is generally best to avoid too many internal links, and leave each page to stand individually.

If you decide to go with this link strategy, it is important to make sure to use the most competitive keywords in the title tags without stuffing. This is necessary, because it is hard to remake your tags later for terms higher up, but you can use off-page link building to rank less competitive terms.
