Blog Plugins: Put Internal Links On Auto

Writing by Blog Marketing Journal on Saturday, June 21, 2008 Comments Off

If you have trouble developing internal links on your blog then you can use of many different blog plugins to do the job for you.

One of the better plugins is the WordPress Related Posts plugin. This plugin adds a short list of older posts to the end of your current post. This is achieved by matching tags. Each post in the list is linked to the posts individual URL.

A second plugin that is a little difficult to follow at first is the Cross-Link Plugin for WordPress. With this plugin you define a set of words or phrases and matching URL’s. The plugin will then automatically insert links whenever it comes across one of those predefined words or phrases.

Unfortunately you can only have one URL for each word or phrase. If your targeted phrase was “WordPress Blog Plugins”, then that phrase can only point to the one URL. Each URL selected can have as many words or phrases associated to it as you would want.

It has some limitations. With this plugin you cannot spread the ‘link juice’ to several different pages for the one keyword. However, if you are targeting only a handful of pages and using keywords specific to those pages then the plugin could be very useful. A handy blog plugin to add to the collection but don’t rely on it for your internal link strategies.
