How do&nbsp;you choose?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the first thing you should ask yourself is:<strong>&nbsp;will this link add a value for your reader or distract him\/her<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Here is a short list of typical cases we collected from our client&#8217;s experience and from our own.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The most typical case is that <strong>you are using an entity which is the very basis of the topic you are exploring<\/strong> and you assume your readers already know&nbsp;it enough. For example, if in this article I used the word website, I could be quite sure that no one of my human readers would need any explanation about such an obvious thing, but search engines&#8217; spiders still need it to better understand the context I refer to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You&nbsp;need to markup semantically your article with many entities, but you are afraid that links could distract your readers<\/strong>. Fine, select the entities which are more likely to add something meaningful to your readers&#8217; experience and then took off the link from all the others.

Given that&nbsp;it&#8217;s a good rule to <strong>keep the number of links (both internal and external) below the 100-link mark<\/strong>, you may need to be even more careful while selecting the entities that will be linked to their own pages. Try not to have too many links to the entities per article, and &#8211; of course &#8211; try not too have to many links at all.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, sometimes you annotate your text with entities, but <strong>you don&#8217;t have the time to curate the new entity pages<\/strong> before publishing your article. This may happen because <strong>in some cases timing is crucial for your content to reach a broader audience<\/strong>. In this kind of situation, you&#8217;ll better add semantic&nbsp;markup to your article without a link to the entity&nbsp;pages. You can always add links later -when you&#8217;ll add some piece of information to your entity pages; until then&nbsp;remember to use &#8220;no-index&#8221; for those incomplete entity pages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What if &#8211; instead &#8211; you&#8217;d like to give your readers <strong>the opportunity to go deeper into some entity<\/strong>, but don&#8217;t want them to leave your article?
