How to Use the “Add New Auto Links” Feature in Linkilo
This tutorial will guide you through using the “Add New Auto Links” feature in Linkilo. We’ll keep things simple and explain each step so that anyone can follow along.
Step 1: Go to the Linkilo Plugin
- Open your WordPress Dashboard.
- On the left-hand menu, look for Linkilo (it might be listed as “Linkilo SEO” or something similar) and click it.
- From there, choose Add New Auto Links.
Step 2: Add Target Words
- Target Words are the keywords or phrases you want to link automatically in your content. For example, if you want the word “SEO proposal” to link to a page about creating SEO proposals, you would type “SEO proposal” in the Target Words box.
- Just type your word or phrase into the Target Words field.
Step 3: Set the URL to Link To
- In the URL field, enter the webpage you want the target word to link to. For example, if you want the phrase “SEO proposal” to link to your blog post about creating SEO proposals, enter that URL (like
https://yourwebsite.com/seo-proposal-guide
).
Step 4: Choose Your Settings (Check the Boxes)
This is where things get customizable, but we’ll walk through each option:
- Add URL to feed if it already contains this URL:
- If you check this box, the plugin will link the target word even if it’s already been linked to that URL in the content. If you leave it unchecked, it won’t add the link if it’s already there.
- One link per post:
- If you check this box, the plugin will only link the target word once per post. This is useful to prevent the same word from being linked multiple times in the same article.
- Select URL before insert:
- If you check this box, you’ll be able to manually choose which URL to link to each time. This gives you more control, but it’s optional.
- Set priority for URL insertion:
- This lets you choose which URLs get inserted first when there are multiple options. You can ignore this unless you have specific preferences for link order.
- Add URL to feeds created after a specific date:
- Check this box if you only want the link to appear in posts that are created after a certain date. This is useful for controlling when your auto-links are applied.
- Block particular category:
- If you don’t want the target word to be linked in certain categories (like your “News” category), check this box and choose which categories to exclude.
Step 5: Save Your Settings
Once you’ve filled in the target word, URL, and chosen the settings you want, click Save to store your changes.
Step 6: Review and Add Links to Your Posts
Now that your auto link is set up, it’s time to check how the plugin will insert your link:
- Possible Links:
- This shows how many times the target word appears in your posts. For example, if your keyword “SEO proposal” appears 44 times across your site, you’ll see that here.
- URLs Inserted:
- This shows how many times the link has been successfully added to your posts. If you see a number here (like “5”), that means the link has been added 5 times.
Step 7: Creating Links Manually (Optional)
If you want to choose exactly where the link goes:
- On the right, you’ll see posts with the target word and the exact sentence.
- You can click on the Create Links button to manually select where the link should go. This is useful if you want to have control over every single link in your content.
Step 8: Done!
Once you’ve set everything up, the plugin will start linking your target words to the URLs you’ve set automatically. You can always go back to Add New Auto Links to make more changes later.
Key Takeaways:
- Target Words = The keywords you want to link automatically.
- URL = The webpage that will be linked when the target word appears.
- Check the boxes based on your needs (like one link per post or manual URL selection).
- Click Save to store your settings.
- Create Links lets you control exactly where the links go in each post.
