The next plug-in to show you is SEO Smart Links plug-in. This is a very, very useful plug-in, because what it does is it's going to help you automatically create links from within your text. So here you can see, here it is.

Let's install it and show you exactly what it does. So basically let's just read what it is. It automatically links key words and phrases in your posted comments with other pages. So it does cross linking within your site.

Now you don't normally see this sort of thing within autoblogs. And further more, it helps you significantly with SEO. You also, this is again important, it allows you to set up your own keywords instead of matching your URL.

So what I can do I can set up certain keywords to link to external sites, i.e., Amazon, Click Back, Commission Junction, other affiliate sites CPA offers. Or even my own network of sites. So I could use the autoblogs to promote my sites.

So if we install it now and let's activate it and you can see it's not difficult to do. And then here we have under settings SEO Smart Links. So let's have a quick look at this. You don't want to link to itself. I mean you might do harm. Some people say you should. But, not for me. Don't link the headers. Target, again, that's right.

Don't target your categories in tags. So again, this is another choice, you can put in your RSS feeds if you've submitted your RSS feeds then it will appear there.

I think you can ignore certain pages if you've got contact, a privacy policy, et cetera, et cetera, then you'll ignore these pages. There maybe certain keywords as well that you don't want to link.

And then finally, down here, what you do is you can see here, you put your key words in, and then the URL. So it will be "keywords, keywords, URL". And what that will do is that any of these keywords will link to that URL.

So as you can see, how many do you want in the post? Three links in the post is a good number. Go more than that and it looks like it's too many links. Go less than that and you're not really getting any benefit.

And also, I would strongly recommend you leave this as one. You don't want too many links with the same keywords. You want all the links to be different keywords otherwise you're going to find in your post you are going to have three links all with the same keyword. So this variation also does well.

Now down here, I would strongly recommend you select both of those. Bottom one, basically means that when people click on a link they are not leaving your site. If you don't have this selected, they click on it, they are gone from your site. You've lost that visitor, and you may never see them again.

This one here, obviously that means that any link love isn't passed through the search engines, technically, won't follow through to index that page. So it just means that you're not generating external links as far as the search engines are concerned.

Now it's not difficult to use this plug-in. You can see that's what we do. We've done it there. We click up the options and off we go. So again, you can select that, and that might be useful too. But you can see, it's not difficult. Very easy. And it's going to help you a lot with your internal SEO, so it's going to help you with cross navigation between your pages.

That's going to impress the search engines. It's going to make it look less like an autoblog. It's going to give you a boost with the search engines. It's also going to allow you to link to external pages, so you could monetize particular keywords.

So for example, if your subject is about photography, you may down here enter various keywords related to certain cameras, and links to Amazon URLs. You may enter other photography type keywords linking to auto-click-back books on photography and so on.

So you could click through there, and it just gives you another opportunity to monetize your blog. So I do strongly recommend this one for you. It's a free to use plug-in. And it's called SEO Smart Links.
