Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Yesterday, I came across a post – Increase Internal linkings on Blog. In that post, the author talks on How to better internal linking in wordpress blog. He mentions use of 4 Plugins which will you achieve this.

I am already using 3 of the plugins out of the 4 listed there. SEO Smart Links plugin which was new for me. I immediately jumped on to Wordpress admin interface and installed SEO Smart Links plugin.

SEO Smart Links Plugin puts Contextual links

SEO Smart Links can automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog.

Contextual Links are the backlinks from the post. A number of such type of backlinks can easily take your blog/article page to the top of any keyword. So, even if you link to your own posts from another post, that would still count as another contextual backlink.

The plugin automatically adds links to other pages of your blog from a page with the desired keyword as the anchor text. It basically scans the post and find the keywords or a phrase and matches it with already existing post / tags / category and links it.

SEO Smart Links Features

  1. Allows you to set up your own keywords and set of matching URLs
  2. Allows you to set nofollow attribute and open links in new window
  3. Ignore list for keywords you do not want to link
  4. Control external links with custom keywords
  5. You can edit the options from the administration settings panel.

I started using it and found some Contextual links getting generated. Need to monitor and also will try setting up keywords vs URL’s
