Interlinks Manager

One of the most important SEO strategies is to build an intelligent and effective internal linking structure that optimizes the number of internal links per post, while being relevant to search engines and natural to readers.

The Interlinks Manager plugin gives you a range of tools to help you develop this structure, so you can increase traffic to your website, sell more products, or convert more users.

Analyze links

in -Dashboard menu, apply regular expressions to your posts, and by tracking user clicks, the plugin is able to retrieve information such as the number of manual internal links, the number of automatic internal links, the number of visits generated by internal links, optimization status, and more.

Armed with this information, you can easily add or remove internal links when needed and always maintain an optimized number of internal links per post.

Calculate link juice

The JuiceThe menu gives you information about the flow of link juice on your website URLs, and for each URL, provides a detailed list of all the individual links that contribute to the overall link juice.

Get link suggestions

The link suggestionThe meta box is a tool that helps you find articles related to the post you're editing.By leveraging this algorithm, you can save time that would normally be spent manually finding new, appropriate internal links.

The algorithm takes several factors into consideration and is able to prioritize specific posts when the title contains words that also appear in the post being edited, or to prioritize, include or exclude post types that belong to a specific category, tag or custom post.

The exact behavior of the algorithm used to retrieve suggestions can be modified through plugin options, so you can increase its precision and make it perfectly suited to your specific situation.

Create automatic links

along withAIL( Automatic Internal Linking) menu, you can turn specific keywords or phrases into internal links. This feature is especially useful in the following situations.

Wiki knowledge base for your blog

Suppose you have a blog that discusses SEO, and you want to convert each term that is part of your SEO glossary into a link to a post with a definition of the term.To do this, just add a new keyword or phrase (corresponding to a glossary's SEO term in this case) and the URL path that should be targeted, repeat the process for all SEO terms and you're ready to go go with.

Automatically link to pages where you sell products

If you have a ton of posts at your disposal and you need more visitors on a page that sells a product (or converts users), for example, you might decide to convert each keyword or phrase related link to a link that you sell product page.For example, keywords and phrases consisting of "our products", "premium areas", "my books", "get the books", "our custom t-shirts", "our supplements", "newsletters" a good alternative", etc.

Automatic internal linking to your best articles

For example, if you're a server administrator and want to increase the importance of your best articles, you can use autolinks to convert phrases such as "configuring your server", "CentOS guide", "learning server administration", "Windows Server", etc.And point the keywords to the actual article.

No worries about automatic linking

A common problem with auto-generated links is that you don't want to:

Accidentally creating too many automatic internal links
Problems with your website SEO
annoy your visitors

So I've included some options that allow you to control the application of automatic internal linking:

Customize keyword or phrase boundaries to avoid accidentally applying your autolinks
Select the post types to which autolinks should be applied
The maximum number of conversions for a single article and a single keyword
Maximum conversions for all keywords in a single post
Case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching (optional for each keyword)
Open the link in a new browser tab (selectable for each keyword)
Application of rel="nofollow" (optional per keyword)
Priority of keyword replacement (this ensures that the most important keywords are always converted when the defined maximum conversions for keywords will prevent this from happening, this option can also be used to determine which keywords/phrases should be converted first, if For example, a post contains a phrase that should convert, but that phrase also contains a keyword that should convert)
Customizable list of protected tags to help avoid accidentally replacing keywords within specific tags
A test mode that allows you to create automatic links and get stats without actually applying them as regular visitors and search engines read your blog, so only when you're happy with the private results you can actually activate the automatic with the public Link

Track clicks

If, after applying your internal linking strategy, you want to know if your changes are actually helping website performance, you can track every click a visitor makes on your internal links and get specific answers.Provide the following information:

Posts that received clicks (available for every click)
Date the link was clicked (available for every click)
The target of the clicked link (available for every click)
Type of link, manual internal linking or automatic internal linking (available on every click)
The number of visits generated using internal links contained in a specific post (this statistic is available as a table atDashboardmenú)

Note that if you don't want to follow internal links, you can disable this feature using the plugin options.

link optimization

Interlinks Manager also includes a meta box that can tell you if your post has been optimized for the number of internal links.This recommendation is not based on fixed standards that you may disagree with, but uses values that you customize and the length of the post in question.

The intent is that if you're applying an internal linking strategy, the suggested number of internal links can help you determine which posts need editing and which already have the right amount of internal linking.

Export the generated data to your favorite spreadsheet software

Data about your internal links, link juice and tracking links can be accessed throughRun CSVSections available in the plugins menu. The resulting CSV file can then be imported into your favorite spreadsheet software to perform your custom analysis, modify, share or print the data.

Enable specific plugin sections for certain user roles

insideOptionsmenu where you can choose the functionality you need to access specific plugin functionality, for example, you can enablelink suggestionProvide meta boxes for your contributors and editors and disable additional features for them, give special user roles the ability to perform analytics on your posts, and more.

Feel free to use this plugin on a lot of data

Before releasing this plugin, I created the bot and downloaded the entire website, tested the plugin on a lot of data, and optimized the regex and every database query to work in all possible cases.

Just to give you an idea, with this plugin you can get information about 100.000 posts' internal links or link juice in about 120 seconds (note that factors other than the number of posts may increase or decrease the actual time it takes to execute analysis, more information is available in the plugin documentation), which means that when typically used with the latest 1.000, you can generate results almost instantly.

You can even use the plugin for sites with millions of posts, although I limit the maximum number of posts that can be analyzed in a single iteration to 100.000 to avoid long waits and possibly completely draining PHP memory.

No external services involved

This plugin uses regular expressions to analyze your posts and does not use any external services, which means that once you get this plugin, you can perform your analysis an unlimited number of times.Only you, the regex, and your server CPU can do the job.

Gutenberg bereit

WordPress is changing and the TinyMCE editor will soon be replaced by the newEdited by Gutenberg, A page builder that uses blocks to create all types of content.

This plugin allows you to choose exactly which Gutenberg blocks the auto-linking should be applied to.So you can apply autolinking very precisely and avoid any problems associated with applying autolinking on Gutenberg blocks.

Multisite ready

This plugin can also be used inWordPress Network, And supports both web activation (the plugin will be activated on all sites of your WordPress network in one step) and single site activation (your plugin will be activated manually on a single site of the network).

multilingual ready

Interlinks Manager is available in English and Italian by default, if you want to translate the plugin into another language, just create a translation file or translate manually using the multilingual plugin.
