Description
URL Autolinker by Jerin.ca automatically converts your saved keywords (aliases) into links inside your content.
Add a URL, assign one or more aliases, and the plugin will link those aliases when they appear in your posts/pages.
Each saved URL can have its own link behavior (open in a new tab, nofollow), and you can export/import your Saved URLs to move rules between sites.
If you want advanced controls and AI-powered internal-link suggestions, an optional Pro upgrade is available.
Pro adds powerful content controls, exclusions, limits, performance options, and AI Links (Smart Suggestions + Zero-Link Posts) so you can plan internal linking faster.
Free Features:
– Save URLs with one or more aliases (keywords).
– Automatically link aliases to the saved URLs in post content.
– Per-link options: open links in a new tab, add nofollow.
– Export and import your Saved URLs.
Pro Features (Available Now):
– Link limits (per-alias per-paragraph, and total links per post).
– Post type whitelist + post/page blacklist controls.
– Exclude HTML areas (headings, lists, tables, code, etc.).
– Optional: skip targets already linked manually.
– Optional: cache compiled rules for faster performance.
– AI Links: Smart Suggestions — analyzes a full post/page and suggests internal links (target + anchor words).
– AI Links: Zero-Link Posts — helps identify posts/pages that likely need internal links.
– Review-first workflow — you choose what to save/apply.
– Save selected AI suggestions into Saved URLs for consistent auto-link rules.
– License status + Pro enable/disable toggle.
