Support SEO Smart Links by buying the Premium version! SEO Smart Links Premium is faster, with bug fixes and over 20 new features. What is new?
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.

This SUCKS! Are you guys going to fix this plug-in? I just updated TODAY (9-13-2011) and it's still broken.
Hello Jonathan
Free version is not optimized for large sites, and I also do not offer support for it. You may want to upgrade to the paid version. http://www.prelovac.com/products/seo-smart-links
Got the following error when I went to upgrade your plugin today
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/g/c/c/gccihome/html/wp-content/plugins/seo-automatic-links/seo-links.php on line 657
I'm getting the same error.
I wish WP had a rollback option for plugins.
Forgot to mention. Updated to 2.7.3 and got the same error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in seo-links.php on line 657
When upgrae:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in seo-links.php on line 657
ME TOO.
Fixed that one as well 2.7.4 should work now
Stip the same error msg :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/82/7936982/html/wp-content/plugins/seo-automatic-links/seo-links.php on line 657
Roll back to 2.7, because I can't find the 2.7.4.
Btw, ty for your great job ;)
Now works fine!!!!
Thanks a lot!
P.D: you have a little bug in spannish version when we have a tilde (á, é, í, ó, ú) on the first letter, that word don't work :-(
UTF8 characters are fully supported in the Premium version.
Ok, thanks a lot for the quick fix and the information.
I'll check it.
Thanks, 2.7.4 solved the problem for me. It's working again.
Glad it did. To further support this plugin please consider purchasing the Premium version.
Hi guys
I've posted an updated 2.7.3, hope that resolves your issue.
I'm sorry, but now it's worst :-( Nothing works ;-)

Hi Vladimir,
Really appreciate your plugins; currently using SEO Friendly Images, SEO Smart Links and SEO Doctor (Firefox).
Today, I updated SEO Smart Links from 2.7 - 2.7.2, and all the products disappeared from (just one) of my category pages.
Using WP 3.2.1, Shopp 1.1.9, PHP 5.3.6
This is the error that appeared in the Shopp log:
2011-09-12 19:21:09 - PHP WARNING: Missing argument 2 for Item::__construct(), called in /home/lusan/public_html/wp-content/plugins/shopp/core/model/Category.php on line 732 and defined [Item.php, line 66]
Category.php, line 732: $Item = new Item($Product);
Item.php, line 66: function __construct ($Product,$pricing,$category=false,$data=array(),$addons=array()) {
Rolled back to version 2.7 of SEO Smart Links, and everything works OK again.
Can give access to our mirror test site if you need to check this out.
Hi, today I'm upgrade your superb plugin SEO Smart Links to the 2.7.2 version. I work with WordPress 3.2.1, and I get this message in all my post:
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: support for \P, \p, and \X has not been compiled at offset 5 in /.../httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/seo-automatic-links/seo-links.php on line 181
What I can do?
Thanks a lot.
Hello Vladimir! I am a long time use of your plug in and I found one bug from the latest update. It randomly omits the contents of a post. The content is still in the compose menu but it does not show on the actual page. Please look into it? I love the plug in and I hate to deactivate it.
Since updating your plugin today, my post preview function ceases to work. When I would compose a post and then click "preview" the post was completely blank and the only thing that would show was the post's title. As soon as I disabled your plugin, everything returned to normal. There's definitely something screwed up with the latest update that just came out on 9/11/11. I've had to keep this plugin disabled until a new version comes out.
I have the same problem, since update today.
greets
Thomas
I have the same problem too with the last update (2.7.2) !
I love this plugin but I just updated it to 2.7.1 and now it isn't working correctly on my blog. It is inserting all of the keywords I have set up at the beginning of all of my posts so I had to turn it off. Is there a fix for this? thank you (screenshot- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/yourcrazy2/Blog%20images/seo-smart-links-error.jpg)
This has been fixed in 2.7.2. Thanks for reporting.
Thank you! It is working perfectly now!
Hi Vladimir
This is a great plug in but sadly on two of my blogs (http://hybridgasconversions.com and http://doctorfreelifestyles.com/) I have this error message in both blogs.
***************
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/dino/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seo-automatic-links/seo-links.php on line 178
***************
When I see this message in a posting, all the widgets in the side bar are not displayed, such as who is online, gt translate, recent comments, recent posts, calendar , tag cloud, easy adsense, meta etc.
The scheduled posting is displayed by title only with no content, but all the key words in other posts are linked to their respective sales pages, the key words are shown in blue and underlined. I have gone back to the set up page and checked that I have commas separating key words and commas separating keywords from urls.
With the plug in de activated all comes back to normal with the blog, the side bar is as it should be, and at this time of posting I have deactivated the plug in. However.......I would really like to use your plug in! It is truly magic stuff!
Any thoughts?
Many Thanks
Dean
Hi Vladimir--
I installed the plugin on my site, but can't seem to get it to work. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Giberamp
I recently blogged about some of the best seo plugins for WordPress, and I included your smart links plugin - great work and thank you so much for it :)
Thank for the tool's I just want to try it
Hi.
Can i still use this plugin with all in one seo plugin?
Thanks
Hussam
Looking forward to trying this plugin out;- it was recommended as a must have plugin by Jared Croslow :)
Hi,
I edit your file "seo-link.php" line 194
to:
$query="SELECT post_title, ID, post_type FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND LENGTH(post_title)>2 ORDER BY LENGTH(post_title) DESC LIMIT 2000";
On my new blog I got a lot of short words with explainations like B2B / ERP / EDI etc.
Now the smart link is working fine.
Maby you can add this as a option?
Thank,
HP vH
Minimum word length is already an option, but in the premium version http://www.prelovac.com/products/seo-smart-links/
Ok, two months passed from my question and I've received no answers.
I've googled too and I've found many users with the same issue and the same no answers.
I'll try again for the last time, then I'll give up.
Summary: the plugin doesn't work at all.
An specific example:
I've a post titled "Elvis Aristide Bagonzo" and another post that contains the very same words at the beginning, but I don't see the link (here: http://progettoanike.org/2011/02/05/elvis-aristide-bazongo/ and here: http://progettoanike.org/2011/06/16/collezione-elvis-aristo-bazongo/ ).
The same happens in any place where I'm supposed to see links.
I've tried also with a fresh installation of WordPress, and disable all plugins one by one, without any improvement.
Any help?
Il ne fonctionne pas sur mon blog, il est compatible avec la dernière version de wordpress?
Sir, need you help about your amazing plugin. May I know what tags that I need to make automatic links not display in certain page? I did a blogpost order and an automatic link harm my client. Thanks for your kind help.
I used to rely on this plugin in the past, with blogs that I don't maintain anymore.
Now I want to use it in a new blog, but I've realized that is not working anymore.
Links are just not created at all.
I tried to play with the settings, to see if I was missing something, but I still don't see a single link.
I see that this plugin became a premium plugin, but I take that the free version is still supposed working: isn't it?
Hey Vladimir,
Thank you from creating this great plugin!
Work great and make my site super crawlable.
Cheers
Had to disable this because it was causing my posts not to come up when the post exceeded a certain length, any ideas why?
Hard to tell from little info that you gave.
pre-tags
Hi John
The premium version excludes pre tags, as well as heading and code tags.
i started using this plugin but it is automatically finding out keywords and linking them :-( how to prevent that…i mean i havent indicated the words and url which i want to link still it is linking on its own
Thanks for this plugin. I do have one small question though... I run BuddyPress, and have no tags at all... (everything is simply a flat activity stream)
How could I optimize your plugin for a BP site? Thanks again!
a must have plugin for wordpress , really making a good number of page views ,
keep up great work
