Hello everyone,
I don't know if the title is correct.
My issue is the following.
In this post:
https://erikemanuelli.com/on-page-seo/
if I click on the menu links within the post, example:
https://erikemanuelli.com/on-page-seo/#onpageseo
the reading jumps directly to that part of the article.
It's not happening here:
https://erikemanuelli.com/link-building/#linkquality
Is something incorrect in the HTML, or code, or anything else that you can see?
I really, really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Erik

You've screwed up the link target IDs and included a hash sign in them.
CODE
<h2 id="#linkbuildingconcepts">
The hash only goes in the link to the target, not in the target name. The hash is what tells the browser it's dealing with a fragment identifier, i.e. that it should go look for "some_name" as the value of a name or id attribute in the same page. It won't find "#some_name".

Thanks for taking the time to check the issue, Pandy.
I'm fixing it right now.
