Simon's Auto Keyword Linker

विवरण

Simon’s Auto Keyword Linker is a lightweight, fast, and intelligent WordPress plugin that automatically transforms your selected keywords into links across posts and pages.

Perfect for internal linking, topic clusters, dictionaries/glossaries, affiliate linking, and improving SEO at scale — all without bloat.

🚀 Key Features

  • Unlimited keyword URL pairs
  • Link each keyword up to 1–50 times per post/page
  • Never links a keyword on its own target page (prevents self-linking)
  • Case-insensitive, whole-word matching
  • Skips headings (H1–H6), existing links, and all HTML tags
  • Sorts keywords by length to prevent overlapping/partial matches
  • Clean, efficient engine based on safe regex & placeholders
  • Works with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, page builders, and most themes
  • Fully compatible with caching plugins

🔍 Smart Keyword Scanner (New!)

Click one button and the plugin will:

  • Scan all published posts and pages
  • Detect highly-relevant multi-word phrases already appearing on your site
  • Score and rank them based on frequency + title relevance
  • Suggest the best internal page to link each phrase to
  • Allow one-click add or delete (“Trash”) suggestions

No more guessing what to link — get data-driven internal linking recommendations instantly.

🔗 External Link Control

For external URLs, you can enable:

  • target="_blank"
  • rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

Internal links remain dofollow for optimal SEO.

🤖 How the Linking Engine Works

  • Matches whole words only — never inside other words or URLs
  • Never links inside headings (<h1><h6>)
  • Ensures links are not placed inside existing <a> tags
  • Automatically decodes HTML entities like &amp; &
  • Prevents short-keyword conflicts by linking longest phrases first

Example keyword rules:

Web Hosting|https://yourwebsite.com/web-hosting/

Contact Form|https://yourwebsite.com/contact/

सामान्य प्रश्न

No. The plugin is extremely lightweight and runs only on the the_content filter using efficient regex logic.

Does it work with page builders?

Yes — it works with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Bricks, and most other builders (as long as the builder uses the_content output).
