How to Install Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro
1. Download the plugin
- Purchase Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro from this product page.
- After checkout, download the
.zipfile from your account or confirmation email.
2. Install via WordPress dashboard
- Log in to your WordPress admin.
- Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Click Choose File, select the
.zipfile, then click Install Now. - When installation completes, click Activate Plugin.
3. (Optional) Replace free version
- If you're using the free version, you can safely deactivate it first.
- Pro uses the same core logic and extends it — your existing keyword rules can be replicated or imported depending on your setup.
Basic Setup: Your First Keyword Rule
- Go to Settings → Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro (or the plugin's settings page in your admin).
- In the main text area, add your first rule:
best gaming chair|https://example.com/best-gaming-chairs - One rule per line. The format is always:
keyword or phrase|https://your-target-url.com - Set "Max links per keyword" (for example: 3). This prevents spammy over-linking.
- If you want external links to open in a new tab with
rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer", tick the **External links** option. - Click Save Changes.
From now on, whenever the phrase "best gaming chair" appears in your content (and matches your conditions), it will automatically become a link to your chosen URL — without editing each post.
Using Conditional Logic (Pro Feature)
Conditional logic lets you control where each keyword is linked. This helps avoid over-optimisation and keeps links context-relevant.
Examples of conditions
You'll typically see a "Conditions" field or column next to each keyword in the Pro interface. In that field, you can add rules such as:
category:5– only link inside posts assigned to category ID 5category:news– only link posts in the news category (depending on your theme setup)tag:gaming– only link on posts tagged "gaming"post-type:page– only link inside pages (not posts)post-type:post– only link inside posts
You can often combine conditions with commas, for example:
category:5, post-type:post
This would link only in posts that are also in category ID 5.
Click Statistics (Pro Feature)
Click tracking tells you which keywords and URLs are actually driving engagement.
Where to view clicks
- In your WordPress admin you'll see a Click Stats / Logs section for Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro.
- This shows a table of recorded clicks, typically including:
- Keyword / anchor text
- Target URL
- Post or page where the click occurred
- Date / time (and optionally IP or user data, depending on build)
Use this data to:
- Identify which internal links users care about.
- Spot weak anchors that never get clicked and improve them.
- Prioritise content and keywords that drive revenue/affiliate clicks.
Export & Import (Pro Feature)
The Export & Import tools let you move your entire keyword/link configuration between sites or back it up safely.
Exporting your setup
- Go to the Export / Import tab or section of the plugin.
- Click Export to download a
.jsonfile. - Store this file in a safe backup location.
Importing on another site
- Install Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro on the new site.
- Navigate to the same Export / Import section.
- Choose your JSON file and click Import.
- Your keyword rules, URLs (and often titles/conditions) will appear instantly.
SEO Best Practices with Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro
1. Build topic clusters & internal hubs
- Pick a "hub" page (for example: Ultimate Guide to Gaming PCs).
- Create a rule for phrases like
gaming pc guide,build a gaming pc,pc gaming build. - Point all of them at your hub page — now every related article reinforces that pillar.
2. Don’t over-link
- Use the "Max links per keyword" and "Max links per page" limits to avoid spammy pages.
- For long posts, 2–3 links per keyword is usually enough.
- Use variation: don't have 10 different rules all pointing to the same URL with identical anchors.
3. Use conditional logic to stay relevant
- Only link "SEO checklist" in SEO-related categories (e.g.
category:seo). - Only link "best VPN" inside your privacy / security tags (e.g.
tag:vpn, tag:security). - Keep unrelated content clean to avoid confusing users and search engines.
4. Upgrade affiliate campaigns safely
- Use Pro to link phrases like
best VPN,gaming chair deal,hosting discountto affiliate URLs. - If an affiliate link changes, just edit the URL in your rule — the entire site updates instantly.
- Track which anchors and placements get clicks using the Click Stats feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this slow down my site?
No. Auto SEO Keyword Linker Pro is designed to be lightweight and runs on the standard the_content filter. It doesn't add heavy scripts to the front-end and avoids unnecessary database queries.
Does it change my database content?
No. Links are added on output, not permanently written into your post content. Disable the plugin, and your posts revert to their original state.
Can I exclude certain words or pages?
Yes. You can configure rules and conditions so that links only appear in allowed post types/categories/tags, and you can avoid keywords altogether by not adding them as rules.
Can I run Free and Pro at the same time?
Usually, you should pick one to avoid duplicate linking logic. Pro contains everything from Free and expands on it, so most users fully switch over to Pro.
