New SEO Plugin for Wordpress: Internal Link Building

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, June 30, 2008

Note:If you download this, I’d appreciate you sphinning this (i.e. voting it up at Sphinn using the button on the left … would take just a moment.) The FAQ and functionality info is a little lower down.

Update 4: See my update for known issues/bugs. Many/most are being worked out for the next version, which will hopefully be released this week (August 17 - 24, 2008).

Update 3: We’re over 925 downloads! Awesome :D. - August 17, 08.

Update: You can download Internal Link Building now! YAAAAAAAAY!!

Update 2 - August 3, 2008.: The linking within URLs mentioned bug has been fixed. If cat is set as a keyword to link to cat.com, mentioning catsanddogs.com will no longer include a link to cat.com . The download link has been updated, so please get the new one and save yourself some trouble. Much thanks to Chris Balicki of Web Systems for having his dev lend a hand :).

[…]

I’m really excited to release my first plugin for Wordpress, named Internal Link Building. What it does is give you an admin panel to assign keywords to given destination URLs. The point being that your website will link within itself a la Wikipedia - every time a keyword occurs, it links to the page you defined.
Internal Link Building plugin admin panel

It’s up to you whether you make cAsE ReLeVaNT to your links. Check the “Exact Match” checkbox for it to only match when the case is the same as you typed the word into the admin panel. Leave it unchecked to have all cases link to your selected page.

So: You can rank like Wikipedia, without being Wikipedia. Ok, that’s maybe a slight exaggeration, but the tool should help you improve your internal navigation / link structure a lot.

The idea came to me from the sales copy for Jim Boykin’s Internet Marketing Ninjas, which apparently gives you access to a similar tool along with all the other goodies it offers. Kudos to Jim for the inspiration.

My bright friend Maki, of Dosh Dosh Internet Marketing, pointed out that similar plugins exist. While that is the case, existing plugins do not allow post-level overriding of a given keyword. So if I wanted to link to my homepage every time the word SEO or the phrase internet marketing was used, but then wanted to link to, say, Tad Chef’s SEO 2.0 blog with the word SEO, or Joy’s internet marketing site because she’s been making an effort through SU and comments to build a friendship with me, I could override the global setting at the post level.
Internal Link Building plugin post-level override

Another way to use the plugin is to have it link to sources whom you reference a lot. That, for me, would be useful so I could cite Maki, SEOmoz, Uber Affiliate, XMCP, and others more easily.

FAQ:

1. Will this plugin overwrite links in older posts using keywords I set to link to particular pages?

- Where a post already links out using given keywords, the plugin will NOT overwrite it.

2. Can we make this link out in a post only a set number of times?

- Yes, this is possible with the new version of the plugin.

3. Can we make a set of URLs to link to, and have it link at random?

- Yes, this is possible. The plugin has been updated, so if you downloaded it on the first or second day it was live, you might want to get the new one. You just need to separate the URLs with | symbols in the URL field.

4. How is this plugin different from other similar plugins?

- They do not have the post-level override functionality.

5. Where is the global admin panel?

- It’s under Manage - Keywords.

6. How do I install this?

- Download the file. Upload it to the wp-content/plugins/ . Login to Wordpress. Activate it within the plugins admin page.

  1. Gab, this is a fantastic idea. Nice work. I’m not sure I’ll use it yet, as I like mixing up my anchor text and trying to make it fit in naturally. Still, you get props.

  3. Willy, Peter thanks for the kind words :D.

    @ Will: I think mixing up anchor text is more important offsite than onsite. Look at how Danny Sullivan was constantly linking to his PageRank guide with the anchor ‘PageRank’ on SEL.

  4. Gab, what a FANTASTIC idea. I do think that if you’re not Wikipedia this might get too spammy on a larger blog, but it should work quite well on a smaller one. It puts a premium on keyword research and analytics, to know what your money terms are as well as your money pages. But this brilliant, original plugin gives you an easy way to match those up!

    Let me know when the download is available.

  5. Whatever floats your boat dude. Maybe future iterations make it so you can set only the first instance in a post to link, and not necessarily every one.

  15. Why not use the WordPress Plugin repository to distribute your plugin? They provide download stats and it’ll make distributing updates easier. You’ll also get broader coverage as the repository is quite visible within the WordPress community.

    I’m jumping through similar hoops with a Firefox plugin I recently modified and wanted to distribute. Fun!

  17. If it’s possible, you should add an option to insert a link %. For instance, ever time I post about “life insurance” let me set a custom % as to when it links.

  22. Hey Gab, fantastic work!

    Like you said, there are similar plugins, but they lack the post level feature.

    What’s best is that you released the plugin for free! Usually you have to pay for the other options.

    And it’s worth mentioning that this kind of plugin is also heavily used to link specific keywords to affiliate programs!

    Nice job!

    Comment by Gustavo Cardial — July 3, 2008 @ 4:32 am

  23. Nice idea! For tracking downloads, I would recommend Google Analytics.

    Comment by Samuel — July 3, 2008 @ 3:00 pm

  24. Brandon, I can’t promise but we’re hoping to do that, just not as a % but rather a set #.

    Samuel, if you go through my archives you’ll notice me trying click counting for RSS feeds to avoid feedburner. Google has enough of my data; they don’t need more.

    Comment by Raj — July 7, 2008 @ 12:10 am

  33. The post level option is a good idea. I think I’d use it when you add these 2 options:
    - add a link only for the first instance in a post to link, and not necessarily every one.
    - allow multiple keywords for the same URL and random choose one of them each time you add a link in a post

  37. Any update on making the application available for download? It sounds like a great plug-in.

    Comment by Kurt — July 7, 2008 @ 12:08 pm

  38. Hi Gab,

    I’ve been visiting this page for a week+ and waiting for the plugin to take it for a spin. Sounds like a good idea.

    This plugin can be useful for interlinking multilingual blogs. A very practical alternative to manually switch from one page to its counterpart in any other language. There are some multilingual plugin that do that, BUT can create an SEO nightmare.

    I was planning on doing it myself last week, but decided to wait for yours. This can be achieved by using the custom fields in Wordpress so that the link gets placed anywhere in the post/category/page, but will be handled manually in the backend.

    The way you can achieve that, I think, is by using a tag like: get_post_meta($post_id, $key, $single);, which can be inserted anywhere in the template where the message will appear. Think about having something like this right at the beginning of each post:
    1. For the Spanish version click here or
    2. In Spanish: Your Title Post Link goes here

    Additionally, it will be nice if the following fields can be included:
    - title element
    - URL
    - target

    On top of the functions you already incorporated, it will be great to have that flexibility to manually or semi-manually (using a DB for recorded information) link out to subdomains, folders, post or other sites without assigning the same value to the link.

    I look forward to testing your plugin.

    Regards,

    Augusto

  48. Hello

    First of all - nice script. I was going to ask my programmer to write something familiar when he will get back from holidays :)

    I have 2 suggestions:

    1) do not link every word in post, 1 internal link is ok, 10 or more (in longs posts with many keywords) looks not too good and I personally think it may be penalized

    2) When I add a keyword that it a part od url (for example: DOG | http://dog-portal.com) the html code is messed - the plugin will input url into url (<a href=”http://dog-portal.com

    Good luck with the new version :)
    cheers :)

    Comment by Web Systems — July 9, 2008 @ 10:06 am

  49. Gabriel, it’s a great plugin. I was searching for something like that since first time I used Wordpress for SEO. Thank you for releasing it!

    However it seems that your plugin have a little bug. When the keyword is inside the domain name then your plugin is linking the keyword that is inside the domain. :/

    Comment by Sebastian — July 9, 2008 @ 10:07 am

  50. Quick question: If old posts already have links assigned to a keyword, and then I use this plugin to assign a different link to that same keyword, what happens to the old already-linked keywords? Will this replace those links? (hopefully not). Or will it only add links to non-hyperlinked words?

    Comment by DazzlinDonna — July 9, 2008 @ 1:07 pm

  51. Awesome - just found this through your twitter today. Thanks!

    Comment by Kim — July 9, 2008 @ 1:37 pm

  52. What happens when I setup a keyword link (in the plugin) for “Blue Horseshoe” and a second keyword link to “Horseshoe”? This is an example of course, but how does the plugin handle overlapping linking?

    Comment by Kurt — July 9, 2008 @ 2:41 pm

  53. Not sure if anyone else encountered this bug but I found it randomly broke a single link in a lot of my posts and replaced it with:
    [block]0[/block]

    Comment by Yossarian — July 9, 2008 @ 3:33 pm

  54. First, great plug-in. Can’t wait to see the future versions, but this is a solid start.

    Second, bug alert: When the defined keyword is also contained in the URL that you are linking to, it causes issues (breaks link and displays incorrectly by showing part of the link). As an example, if the defined keyword for the link is ‘chowder’ and the link is http://www.xyz.com/abc/chowder_recipe.html, the plugin does not work properly. I am guessing that it is somehow trying to reinsert the URL when the keyword in the URL is processed.

    I am concerned that this might also cause issues with defined keywords that might exist in other URLs too. The plugin should disregard the words/characters in any URLs.

    Comment by Kurt — July 9, 2008 @ 5:49 pm

  55. Setting max number of replacements is key .

    Like the opt-out feature

    Another good feature would be to keep it out of heading tags

    Comment by Matt L — July 10, 2008 @ 12:58 pm

  56. I love it…this sounds more promising than some other similar plugins. Thanks!

    Comment by Susan — July 10, 2008 @ 1:52 pm

  57. Donna - that’s no problem. It won’t overwrite old links. See the FAQ.

    Kurt, the new version can do that. Just download it, and use that one instead. Thanks for bringing up a good question!

    Yossarian, hopefully that’s fixed now.

    Matt - use the new version, and you can do that.

    Susan, glad you like it.

    Comment by Gabriel Goldenberg — July 10, 2008 @ 9:57 pm

  58. Nice one, Yeah just checked and it appears to be fixed. Thanks

    Comment by Yossarian — July 11, 2008 @ 4:40 am

  59. It’s great to see that the suggestions made in the comments have already been taken into account!

    I still have one suggestion: you add “If you would like a keyword to randomly link to one of several URLs, seperate each URL with a bar ‘|’.”

    Could you aso add the inverse?
    “If you would like a URL to be randomly linked to by one of several keywords, seperate each keyword with a bar ‘|’.”

    You would have to modify the interface.

    Thanks again!

    Comment by Tom — July 11, 2008 @ 5:49 am

  60. Thanks for update :)

    One more thing I noticed during tests:

    example:

    key: dog
    address for linking: http://www.dog-blabla.com/dog

    and if the plugin finds key “dog” within the page http://www.dog-blabla.com/dog it puts again link to the same address.

    best regards,
    Chris

    I have just discovered another bug. Example:

    We have 2 keywords:
    1)cat
    2)dog

    When I add internal linking for cat to http://sample.com/cat-vs-dog/

    and then I try to add internal link for “dog” the html code is messed up. Check for yourself :)

    2. Let us set a style class name for the automated links. This way we have the option to make them look different if the mood strikes up.

    Comment by incaSEO — July 16, 2008 @ 1:54 am

  72. What an excellent plugin! Many thanks for this, Gab. I’ve installed it on my blog and it works a treat.

    I do have two very small suggestions to make though:

    1. Allow the “title” attribute of the link to be optionally specified as can be done when adding standard links to posts. This would mean that a tooltip would then appear when the mouse is moved over the link. This would make the generated links consistent with other links that may already be in the post.

    2. Allow the “target” attribute of the link to be specified so that links can be opened in a new window if required. This would be especially useful when the plugin is being used to link to external sites.

    Comment by Chris Simpson — July 16, 2008 @ 4:00 pm

  73. Hi

    I have just been thinking about the plugin and I think that option to set links as NOFOLLOW would be nice. This was we could set some text links to sponsors.

    PS: plz remember about */cat-dog/ dog|cat errors ;)

  82. Love the plugin, just what I needed! I have a couple of question tough. Is it possible to make the plugin gto link even if the keywords are inside a blocquote or list? (as it is now it does not link). Great job.

  83. Hey Gab!

    great plugin - thanks much for this !

    Some issues:

    1) the randomize link feature should NOT duplicate links… i.e. if we specify 6 links and place 3 per post, we certainly want 3 unique links, not 3 times the same ones… that would look spamy/unnatural

    2)
    on a vanilla WP 2.6 we once go thtis problem


    internal-link-building
    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument 0000001 is not an array in C:\!work\!testbed2\wordpress26\wp-content\plugins\internal-link-building\Internal_Link_Building.php

    what does this problem mean? how do we cure it?

    thanks & best

  85. This plugin is great but it doesn’t work for the keywords that contain an apostrophe. Could you please help?

    Comment by Jean-Yves — July 21, 2008 @ 3:58 pm

  86. Chris Simpson - I like the target setting function. Want to sponsor it?

    @ Sand and Robert - getting that functionality created is also a good idea. Would you mind chipping in to cover the costs?

    Scott and I dealt with this privately since his comment.

    Lars: I’m not sure why it doesn’t work within a blockquote or list but that should be done. Can you help cover the costs?

    Chris - Is that what’s happening now? Let me try and see the result.

    As to the bug, I have no clue what’s happening. Let me ask the dev. Probably a 2.6 problem.

    Jean-Yves: I like your point and want to have that programmed. Not sure why it doesn’t now, but if that costs extra, can you cover it?

  88. Gabriel: many thanks for the answer. Do you mean that next releases of the plugin won’t be free?

    Comment by Jean-Yves — July 22, 2008 @ 4:31 am

  89. There is a conflict between Internal Link Building and the Simple Tags plugin. Simple Tags with “auto link” activated, seems to have priority over Int. Lnk Build, so that if the same keyword is defined by ILB and also is included in ST, ILB does not have time to create a link.

    Julie, since this is an issue that just affects you personally, perhaps you might consider having a developer help you out with it. It would be too expensive to try and make the plugin compatible with all the other ones out there.

    Comment by Julie — July 22, 2008 @ 7:57 am

  90. Jean-Yves, future versions will be free as well. I’m asking if you’d like to help cover the costs of adding functionality etc.

    Comment by Gabriel Goldenberg — July 22, 2008 @ 12:20 pm

  91. Gabriel, I understand but I don’t think that I’m the only one to be interested in this functionality and I’m really sorry that I don’t have the means to pay for its coding.

  97. Argg… *arn you! You left the cat of the bag. For me, I called it “Wikipedia-Linking Style”.

    Anyway, great work on the plugin with the additional, specific funtionalities for the internal linking.

    Kudos.

    However, I would like to add one more suggestion for the improvement:

    how about adding a functionality/option where you would mainly link the keyword phrase only on ‘related’ blog posts (to help reduce the PR juice leak to unrelated posts)?

    For this addition, I think you might want to look at related posts plugins to see how to get the related posts criteria — especially the Similar Post Plugin: http://rmarsh.com/plugins/similar-posts/

    Regards,

    ~Mint Tree~
    P.S. I ‘had’ planned to write a similar ‘Wikipedia-linking style’ plugin, but haven’t had the time to do it. So, I must thank you for taking the time to do the plugin =P.

    Comment by Best WordPress Template — August 3, 2008 @ 3:30 am

  98. Oh, one last thing I forgot: you will want to look out for how many database query your plugin execute (of course, you will want to reduce the total numbers ;).

    ~Mint Tree~
    P.S. I’m currently getting recruited as a SEO/SEM for a web design company (with 3 biz already bidded =); so, if you’d like to discuss some SEO/SEM stuff or possible outsource (in case I can’t take on all 3 ;).

    The only thing I would add is the possibility to put parameters in the link, like “target” and “title”.

  104. Hey Gab - have you noticed any sites that have the second instance of a defined keyword not render the link but instead wrap it in [#%1#2]keyword phrase[/#%1#2] tags?

    We are running 2.5x but have disabled the plugin now until we find a fix.

    really great idea by the way.

    Comment by WebSam — August 6, 2008 @ 11:43 am

  106. I see that you can limit it one instance per post. Is it possible to limit it to so many times per link, so that I could link to a specific keyword like 10 times for one URL and then 10 more times for another URL? Post-level overrides in this case would be as cumbersome as doing everything manually.

  109. Hey Gab,
    First off - Fantastic plugin.

    I am having a problem though. Keywords inside tags are getting messed up. See:

    http://www.holdemreview.com/best-poker-site-for-us-players/

    The bottom two headings are trying to convert into links, but partial html is being spit out. Any ideas?

    Also, could you include an option to not hotlink inside tags at all? I have a feeling more people than me do not like to see part of a heading be linked to another page. It just looks goofy. That would make this plugin perfect in my opinion.

    Thanks a ton,
    Mitch
