How to intelligently link your blog content with SEO smart links

Interconnecting your subpages is a great way to both improve your rankings using keyword-targeted anchor texts and also increase crawl rate and depth (as well as clicks). ).

While it’s a must to link to your old posts when writing the post manually, taking advantage of smart automation is also a good idea.

The best WordPress plugin I’ve ever seen that makes smart, automated, and highly customizable links is called SEO Smart Links.

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

SEO Smart Links searches for keyword phrases that match your post and page titles (as well as categories and tags). These sentences are then transformed into links.

Let’s see it in action. The site I have used it for is DailySEOTip as it has a lot of content from guest contributors which should naturally link properly. You are welcome to browse the site and see how the pages relate to each other.

Now let’s see all the options and features.

Option 1: Define the types of pages to link

First of all, you can change if you want to link of posts or if you also want to include pages (I chose posts).

Then you can define the types of pages you want to link To:

• Posts;
• pages;
• Categories;
• Key words.

For tags and categories, you can also select the number of times they have been used to be included in the interconnection diagram.

Option 2: Ignore keywords, posts and pages

You can exclude keywords or pages from linking:

• Provide page identifiers, slugs or names of pages to be excluded;
• Provide keywords that you don’t want to turn into internal links;
• Provide the direct URLs of the pages you do not want to include:

Option 3: Set link limits

To make sure that there isn’t too much linked content on each page, it’s a good idea to set link limits per page:

• You can limit the maximum number of links SEO Smart Links will generate per post.
• You can also limit the maximum number of links created with the same keyword. Set to 0 for no limit.

You have finished! Now just hit save and browse your site to see what has changed!

So simple, absolutely free and the whole process (from downloading to running the plugin) won’t take you more than 10 minutes! No excuse not to try it!
