Improve WordPress SEO and Crawl Rate in 5 Minutes with SEO Smart Links

May 11, 2010

SEO Smart Links provides an easy way to set up affiliate links using your site’s content and interlink your posts, making your site more readable and SEO friendly at the same time. The plugin allows you to quickly and easily link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments to other relevant or corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog.

Why is interlinking your WordPress content good for SEO?

Linking to your older content will give you the opportunity to improve your rankings with keyword-targeted anchor texts. It also provides more paths for the search engines to crawl. SEO Smart Links will also give you more clicks per user. Don’t lose that reader after just one post; keep them interacting with more of your content.

It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
