SEO Smart Links can automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog.
Further SEO Smart links allows you to set up your own keywords and set of matching URLs.
Finally SEO Smart links allows you to set nofollow attribute and open links in new window.
Everything happens completely transparent, and you can edit the options from the administration settings panel.
How it Works?
SEO Smart Links looks for keyword phrases that match the titles of your posts and pages by default (and you can enable categories and tags matching too). These phrases are then turned into the links. The matching is case insensitive and the original case is preserved.
So If I mention Amazing Grace, which is my theme and also the title of one of my pages, it will be automatically converted into a link.
Everything happens completely transparent, and you can edit the options from the administration settings panel.

Hi Vladimir,
My keyword "deneme hastalığı" but seems dosent work.
Can you help me??
Thanks...
Awesome plugin! I love it. Congratulations on your great work on SEO Smart Links.
Unfortunately there seems to be a conflict between it and the Amazon Product In A Post plugin. When I enable SEO Smart Links, my Amazon product post contents disappear if the Amazon PIP setting is set to "Above Post Contents" or "Post Text Becomes Description".
Can't wait for the new version!
Cheers, Graham
hi Vladimir,
thanks for this great plugin.
The only feature I would wish for is the ability to link words within a custom field value. I think WP is being used more and more as CMS and custom fields are definitely one of the better features for that purpose. Checking the output of a custom field and link if necessary would be a great addition.
thanks
Mito
We will have something like this in the next major release of the plugin, stay tuned.
I have 3 blogs and running WP v3.1 and they aren't showing up at all.
Hi Vladimir, great plugin!!
Might have spotted a bug though... we are running WordPress 3.1 with plugin v2.6. Links per page is set to 12. SeoSmartLinks is not linking to some of our pages even though the text and page title are exact match. See "Chesters Hotel and Restaurant" on the following page:
http://www.manchesterunitedhotels.com/hotels/
We have only got "about,home, old trafford" in ignore keywords.
Thanks
Ben
Thanks a lot,I can se the difference now,without having to spend extra hours linking myself and at the end of the day still have some broken links,How ever ,it will be good to see if it is possible to work around the wp-config.php automatically.
