I am trying to use SEO Smart Links to help me generate cross linking between a set of topic related websites. I've set up the custom keyword section as follows: keyword1,keyword2,keyword3|http://site1.com,http://site3.com" rel="nofollow">http://site2.com,http://site3.com.
If I activate the SEO Smart Links (Free version) keywords will have links created for them, but only using the very last url in the list. If I activate SEO Smart Links Professional no keywords are linked at all.
I thought maybe it was a conflict with a custom theme i was using, so I switched to the Twenty Ten that comes with WordPress. That made no change. If its not a theme conflict, could it be a plug-in conflict? (Are there any known plug-in conflicts?)
I purchased the Professional version because the free version was stated to have bugs.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
*********Further Note***********
I realized that the Pro version adds a setting for processing posts by age. As it was set to 30 none of the posts were processing because this is a new site and I'm testing. Now Pro will add links. However, it will only add one per keyword on the page, even though multiple instances of the keyword are present.
As a test I changed the custom keyword section to something like this: keyword1|http://site1.com keyword2|http://site2.com keyword3|http://site3.com
I set the Maximum links created to 0 (I also tested it with a number, like 5). Then I created a test post that had each of the three keyword repeated three times. The result was still only one link in the post for the keyword.
It seems like it processes initially and then stops: If I have a keyword list of multiple words and multiple URLs, it only creates a link for the first word in the link and the last URL. If I make multiple keyword lists with URLs, it only links the first occurrence of the keyword, but not the others, even though I've set it for more than one.
The premium version limits only one keyword to same destination to page ever since we found out that Google penalizes (marks as spam) pages with muliple same phrases linking to same pages.
