SEO Auto Linker allows you to automagically add links into your content. Great for internal linking!
SEO Auto Linker is an update to the much loved SEO Smart Links plugin.
The plugin automatically links words and phrases in your post, page or custom post type content.
The difference is that you no longer have to try and guess what links will appear. Specify keywords in a comma separated list, type in the URL to which those keywords will link, specify how many links to the specified URL per post, and then specify the post type. SEO Auto Linker does the rest.

Sort of. If you keyword list is lorem, ipsum
, the word lorem
OR the word ipsum
will be linked to the specified URL. If the content contains both lorem
and `ipsum, they will only both be linked if you set the number of links per post to more than one for that keyword list.
If you add hundreds of keywords, the answer is probably yes. However, SEO auto linker makes use of several wp_cache functions which, when combined with a persistent caching plugin, should help speed things up. If you’re running a large scale WordPress install, you should probably be using a caching plugin anyway.
In order to keep things simple, SEO Auto Linker searches for some common elements in your HTML (headings, images, inputs, etc) and removes them before adding links, adding them back later. It can’t predict every bit of HTML, unfortunately, so sometimes text in attributes or other text gets linked where it shouldn’t.
Nope. Because custom fields (aka wp_postmeta
) can be used for so many different things, it doesn’t make sense to automatically link that content.
SEO Auto Linker ignores content inside of shortcodes. If you find yourself using shortcodes inside a theme to do things like columns, etc, you may be doing it wrong.
This was a deliberate decision and isn’t likely to change.
