Looking To Improve Your Blogs Internal Linking?

So, if you’ve been a reader of my posts for any time now, you know that I am a HUGE fan of plugins that are not only effective, but that build your SEO rankings on the search engines.

And admittedly, anything that has minimal effort with high effect, I am ALL game for!

That way I can focus on other things in the day.

So recently, I discovered a cool new plug-in that will automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog.

Even on brand new posts that your create!

SEO Smart Links

This nifty little plugin is one of those plugins that works behind the scenes and leaves your readers asking – “How The heck did he do that?”

As with any plugin, I give it a thorough trial before I write about it and tell you guys.

I’d feel pretty crappy if I gave you something that didn’t work well.

Then you’d write about me on Facebook, my family would find out about it, and then I just couldn’t live with myself.

Just kiddin’ of course.

Anywho!

Internal linking is a huge piece of the puzzle to increase the SEO ranking of your blog.

The more internal linking from post to post, the better.

Search engine crawlers look for that stuff, and will give your content LOVE because of it.

That is what this plugin does.

SEO Smart Links looks for keyword phrases that match the titles of your posts and pages by default (and you can enable categories and tags matching too). These phrases are then turned into the links. The matching is case insensitive and the original case is preserved.

So If I mention the word “Wordpress”, which is one of my keywords and also the title of one of my pages, it will be automatically converted into a link.

SEO Smart links allows you to set up your own keywords and set of matching URLs.  So as you write a post that has one of your pre-set keywords in it, it will automatically link to the post that you set up with that preset keyword.

SEO Smart links also allows you to set nofollow attribute and open links in new windows.

Everything happens completely transparent, and you can edit the options from the administration settings panel.

Why Would You Want This Plugin?

Well, besides improving your sites internal linking, here are the other features:

1.  You can control the external links that send your readers to other blogs or websites.

2. You get full control with customizable options that you set up in your Wordpress “Settings” page.

3. You can ignore list for keywords you do not want to link to from your site.  This is kind of like the “nofollow” code that you can manually add.

4. You can Add nofollow attribute to the links you do send your readers to or open links in new window not attached to your blog.

5. Caching for speed so that each time a return reader visits your blog, the page loads faster.

So, if you think you might need a little help improving your blogs internal linking, you might want to take a closer look at this plugin.

You can download or take a closer look at it here, or just go to your Wordpress “Plugin” section in your dashboard and a do a search for “SEO Smart Links” and automatically install it there (A much easier route in my opinion).
