Automatically Create Internal Links Building In Wordpress Blog

Today I would like to talk about SEO and WordPress, I hope that anyone visit this page can gain useful knowledge.

We all know that we are in the Google Panda era, a lot of drastic changes added by Google to improve its crawling and indexing process in order to increase user experience using Google.

SEO
One of the many changes of Google Panda is internal link got bigger portion in ranking a Blog in Google result page.

In the old days, we hunt external linking to skyrocket our position — don’t get me wrong this factor is still legit — however it’s opening the door for spam activity all over the places.

Therefore in Google panda era, internal link is pushed up to the higher level in deciding a blog's ranking in Google and to identify a blog's relevancy.

Internal linking is regarded is not simply to vote other posts, but Google thinks that the link is our efforts to help our readers to find the relevance posts from the one they are reading.

That’s why Google loves this activity very much...

Let’s build internal linking campaign to your WordPress blog.

Let’s pick your targeted keywords and keyphrase to be linked by all your posts that mention the keywords. Yes this going to be fun activity.

However you might be asking yourself, so do I have to edit my all my posts incuding old posts or pages? If that so, I have hundreds or may be thousands of pages.

Don’t worry my friends, you don’t have to go into that trouble. Because there is WordPress plugin can help you out!

FAQ
