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.

Hi.
Thank you for the great plugin.
# I've installed the plugin and entered my keywords to link from/to articles/posts.
# I've written a post setup to be published today.
--- The problem is that the new published post haven't got links from the keywords in the text.
I solved it by going to the plugin at my backend and pressed update in the bottom. But shouldn't new published posts automatically be set with the keywords entered in the plugin?!
Just invested in the pro version of the plugin. Is there an instruction manual or best use guide? How do you use this for cloaking affiliate links such as mysite.com/go/seosmartlinks ?
Yep the user guide at http://www.prelovac.com/products/seo-smart-links/user-manual/
To cloak links just add a custom keyword with the destination url and the redirection url
example
|target url|seosmartlinks
Vladimir,
Thanks for the reply and for the link to the user manual, obviously I missed it.
That being said, not sure I follow you with the cloaked links.
Say my site is onlineincomeledger.com and I want to recommend your SEO Smart links
onlineincomeledger.com/go/seosmartlinks
The keyword is seosmartlinks and the destination url is http://www.plimus.com/affliatelink what is the redirection url and what would this look like?
That being said, have you ever considered developing a user interface similar to MaxBlog Ninja Affliate:
http://mbpninjaaffiliate.com/index-1.php
or even that of:
http://www.affiliatecamo.com
No offense whatsoever, its just that these interfaces are a little easier to use for link cloaking but don't provide near the SEO benefits of your plugin.
Just a suggestion.
Again, no offense intended.
Hi MAtt
You'd probably just enter
SEO Smart Links|http://www.plimus.com/affliatelink|seosmartlinks
Which means link "SEO Smart Links" to http://www.plimus.com/affliatelink using 'seosmartlinks' in the redirection URL so the URL appearing to the visitor is onlineincomeledger.com/go/seosmartlinks
Im using SEO Smart Links v. 2.7.4 (free version) and WP 3.3.1.
Is it possible to deactivate the links for single posts or pages? For example with Custom Fields?
This is only possible in the premium version: http://www.prelovac.com/products/seo-smart-links
I am going to give it a try
just wanna say thanks a lot for the best plugin, i used this plugin in another website. thanks
just wanna say thanks a lot for the best plugin, i used this plugin in another website..
The plugin work fine, it does what it says. Only on my site i have a catagory discription, the text there is not showing any links. Is there a quike fix for this.
Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for this plugin, I'm still trying it out but so far it seems great.
I've just noticed something & thought I'd pass it on here in case anyone else has the same issue & needs a fix - if you are using anchors (or "Return to top" hyperlinks on your pages, etc), then you will need to add the # symbol to the exclusion box list.... otherwise the Smart Links plugin changes them & they won't work properly / won't jump to the anchor in the page (....they will try to open another page instead).
Hope this helps someone.
Again, thanks for all your work on this plugin.
Kind regards, Karen
How to take control over the links created by this superb plugin. Just search this:
$replace="$1";
And replace with this:
$replace="$1";
And search this line 3 times:
$replace='$1';
And replace all with this:
$replace='$1';
Then you can add this to your CSS code:
a.XXX { color:#000; } (for example)
How to add UTF-8 support to this superb plugin. Just search this:
$reg_post = $options['casesens'] ? '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))($name)/msU' : '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))($name)/imsU';
$reg = $options['casesens'] ? '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))\b($name)\b/msU' : '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))\b($name)\b/imsU';
and replace with this:
$reg_post = $options['casesens'] ? '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))(?!\pL)($name)(?!\pL)/msU' : '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))(?!\pL)($name)(?!\pL)/imsU';
$reg = $options['casesens'] ? '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))(?!\pL\b)($name)(?!\pL\b)/msU' : '/(?!(?:[^\]]|[^>\]]+))(?!\pL\b)($name)(?!\pL\b)/imsU';
I am using WP 3.3.1 and get the error when installed the plugins :(
I've been using seo smart links in my old blog and it's run well.
Anyway, thanks for this plugin, dude
Hi Vladimir -
I am using this on a site at http://www.akealife.com and even though we have unchecked the "Allows Links to Self" checkbox, it is still linking to self on pages and posts. Is this a known issue?
Stu
This is a known issue with the free version (which is no longer supported) and has been fixed in the premium version.
Cool. I bought the Premium Pro version and installed it on all of my sites. Thank you!
Activated the plugin and it's great. I recommend this site to my programmer friends.
Thanks for the link..http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/download/..
The wordpress plugin works very well for my projects. Thanks so much.
Very nice idea...tried the free version, but no success.
Will study and review the new version Vladimir posted. It's not free but looks good, here's the link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/download/
Thanks for great work, this really helps us small business owners!
San.
What do you mean by "Everything happens completely transparent." I've installed the free version and nothing seem to work. How would I know if the plug-in works?
Does the links automatically create without doing anything? For example, are links bolded or hyperlinked automatically?
I just tried this plugin on wordpress 3.3 its not working at all.. I don't c any keyword linked. Thanks for nothin
Great work! Using this plugin on various sites, and it works like a charm!
awesome tool :) !! thanks for sharing :) have a good day
Activated the plugin. Is it advisable to make "link to self" to pages and posts.
Will it help SEO of the site?
Worthy Plugin which I found by luck and installed on our website http://www.welovecontroversy.com
Please continue your Great work!!!!
Working on on page SEO I found this plug in and believe it is a great tool. I installed it and it caused a post to act very odd and I had to deactivate immediately. I am going subscribe to keep an eye out for a fix as I am eager to use this plug in. It seems by comments that I am not the first to mention buggyness. Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to hearing more on this plugin.
I am going to support only new wordpress versions, for the free version. I've completely rewritten the code and added bunch of new features to create the premium version. http://www.prelovac.com/products/seo-smart-links
Great, thanX
I will use it now.. Is there any Def. between this plugin and the official one from WP ?
Hello,
I have a problem with the External Links: it seems that the two options (Open in new window and Add nofollow attribute) are ignored... :(
Whether or not I check them, the external links are not modified, did I miss something?
Thanks for your help and great plug-in BTW! :)
Any chance you can just re-release the plug-in code from 2 updates ago? It worked fine before the last 2 updates. Now everything on my website is broken and will not load. I am going to have to disable your plug-in and seek an alternative.
Nice work on the original plug-in! Please bring it back! :)
