This plugin is a minimalist backlink tracker. It keeps track of all internal links between posts using taxonomies.
The plugin maintains a taxonomy of which posts links to which. The taxonomy is mostly invisible, but available through REST.
The backlink taxonomy is updated automatically whenever a post is published, scheduled or later updated. By registering the outgoing links of all posts it is easy to find the incoming links for any one post.
<h3>User Interface</h3>
The plugin most works behind the scenes, scanning posts for internal links whenever the posts are updated.
The backlink taxonomy is available for the Query Loop block, which can be used to create a dynamic “What links here” block.
The backlink_count taxonomy can be used to filter the displayed posts on the posts lists of the admin interface. This is a handy way of finding posts with no or few incoming links.
The admin posts list has a “Suggest Backlinks” added for each row, which will find posts with shared tags and categories, that are not already linked from the post. If there are shared public custom taxonomies, they will be used too.
The admin posts list also has a ‘Backlinks’ column available, showing the number of backlinks for the post. Clicking on the column will show a list of the backlinks. The column is sortable. The column also shows the number of outgoing links, also clickable.
A management page under the Tools menu can show the backlinks status of all posts, with columns for incoming and outgoing links, and commands for rescanning or ‘un-scanning’ posts.
The settings pages is rather basic, but allows the setting of post types to operate on (default posts and pages), and post statuses to select on (default published and scheduled).
Un-scanned posts, for example just after activation of the plugin or after a change of settings, are scanned in the background at bit at a time. During normal usage there should never be a backlog of un-scanned posts.
The Backlinks Taxonomy plugin works with custom post types, and will use available custom taxonomies for backlink suggestions.
<h3>WP-CLI interface</h3>
The plugin adds a WP-CLI command ‘backlinks’ with several sub-commands.
There are commands to:
<ul>
<li>Show all outgoing and incoming links for a single post;</li>
<li>Show backlink suggestions for a single post;</li>
<li>Show the overall status of the backlink counters;</li>
<li>Rescan individual posts for links;</li>
<li>List all un-scanned posts.</li>
</ul>

Based on the greatly useful (for SEO) but long outdated plugin “Link Juice Keeper”, Backlinks Saver is an updated and simplified version of that SEO plugin. It helps you save the link juice from existing backlinks to non-existent pages on your site by redirecting them to the home page with 301 status code.
If you are optimizing your site for the search engines, you must already know that backlinks are very important and you should make each and every one of them count. But sometimes we make changes to our sites that make some backlinks worthless, changes like:
<ul>
<li>Changing the Permalinks Structure for the whole site</li>
<li>Changing the Permalink of a certain page/post</li>
<li>Deleting a page/post</li>
</ul>
The above changes will lead to backlinks being sent to 404 error pages, which tells the search engine bots that those pages don’t exist on your site anymore, so your backlinks to those pages won’t be counted. But with Backlinks Saver, the links will be sent to the homepage so that they will still count for your domain.
For questions and support, please post them at the <a href="http://nimrodflores.com/backlinks-saver" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin page</a>. I can’t provide quick help if you post your questions in the forum as I am not always in the forums.
Important Note: The redirection will not work if you are using the WordPress default permalinks structure. ie: <code>http://www.yoursite.com/?p=123</code>
Make sure you use any of the other options for permalink structure.
