The Custom Page Links plugin allows you to specify a list of links to be shown on a specific page. 
This allows the user to easily specify links that, grouped together, can then be listed on the page.
The plugin was created from the need to add a list of links to a widget, which is not easily achievable using existing functionality and plugins.
When a link is clicked, the user is taken through a landing page to the end location. 
Currently, no tracking is done on this landing page. In the future some tracking is planned, but only to be stored locally, and never to be shared with 3rd parties.
Each link specified includes an image, which is shown next to the link in the listing.
The editor allows easy linking to other pages / posts on the WordPress installation, as well as easy linking to media.

The main purpose of this plugin is easy link building.
For example, you can create a page or post with detail description of some term. Most likely, this term is used in other posts and it would be appropriate to put a links from that posts to you page. But doing this operation manually is very time consuming task.
This WordPress plugin allow you to maintain a list of terms and assign links to them. Plugin automatically replaces terms occurrences in posts with appropriate links. You can control the number of terms replacements.
This plugin allows.
<ul>
<li>Create, update and delete terms through admin interface (Terms menu). Each term can contain one or several word forms (e.g. pear, pears).</li>
<li>Assign a link to a term. This link can point to your blog post, page, custom post type or to a page on another site.</li>
<li>Control how many terms will be converted to links in each post.</li>
<li>Select where you want to replace terms, in posts content, in posts comments or both.</li>
<li>Set several word forms for each term. For example, “apple|apples”. Word forms should be separated with a “|” symbol.</li>
<li>Search for terms in posts content and convert them to appropriate links. This task is performed automatically when plugin is activated.</li>
<li>Disable terms to links conversion for individual posts.</li>
<li>Wrap links with arbitrary text (for example, you can wrap link with strong tag)</li>
<li>Export and import terms and plugin options.</li>
<li>Export terms in CSV format.</li>
<li>Packet terms creation.</li>
<li>Permalinks update function (use it after permalinks structure updates).</li>
</ul>
Please, note that terms will not be replaced with links in following cases.
<ul>
<li>If the term is already inside the link. E.g. if the link was created manually. So the plugin will not change any links that already exists in the post.</li>
<li>If the term is located inside html tag. For example, inside <code>alt</code> attribute of <code>img</code> tag.</li>
<li>If the term is located in <code>h1</code>–<code>h6</code> tags.</li>
<li>If the term is part of another word. E.g. term = <code>car</code> and the word is <code>carrot</code>.</li>
<li>If you checked “Disable Terms Descriptions plugin for this post” checkbox (at the bottom of post edit screen).</li>
</ul>
Important!
Huge terms lists with hundreds of terms can increase page creation time. In such cases, consider to use caching plugin.
