<p>Half Baked Link Injection lets you define simple rules that automatically replace whole-word phrases with links when WordPress renders post and page content.</p>
<p>It is designed for clean, predictable linking that stays out of your way. Rules are applied only to <code>the_content</code>, and existing links are never modified. This makes it useful for SEO hygiene, internal linking, and turning recurring terms into consistent references without editing each post manually.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>Create one or more injection rules. Each rule includes:<br />
* A phrase (whole-word matching is always used)<br />
* A destination URL (internal relative links or external URLs)<br />
* Optional settings like case sensitivity, where it applies, and how often it triggers</p>
<p>When a post or page is displayed, the plugin scans only the text portions of the content and injects links where appropriate. It will not touch phrases inside existing <code><a></code> tags, and it skips script and style blocks to avoid breaking markup.</p>
<h4>Targeting and control</h4>
<p>Rules can be scoped and prioritized so you stay in control when phrases overlap or your site grows.<br />
* Post type targeting: apply a rule to Posts, Pages, or both<br />
* Priority ordering: lower numbers win when multiple rules could match the same spot<br />
* Tie-breaking: if priorities match, newer rules win</p>
<h4>Occurrence options</h4>
<p>Control how frequently each phrase is linked:<br />
* First<br />
* First + every Nth<br />
* Every Nth<br />
* All</p>
<p>This is useful when you want a light touch on long articles.</p>
<h4>External links done properly</h4>
<p>When a rule points to an external URL, the plugin:<br />
* Adds <code>target="_blank"</code><br />
* Ensures <code>rel</code> includes <code>noopener noreferrer</code><br />
* Lets you append additional rel tokens like <code>nofollow</code> or <code>sponsored</code></p>
<p>Relative URLs stay relative and do not get <code>target="_blank"</code>.</p>
<h4>Built for safety and performance</h4>
<ul>
<li>No recursion into <code>the_content</code></li>
<li>Processes content safely by splitting HTML and touching only text tokens</li>
<li>Skips existing <code><a></code> tags</li>
<li>Skips <code><script></code> and <code><style></code> blocks</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy and data</h4>
<p>This plugin does not send any data off-site. Rules are stored locally in your WordPress database in a single option.</p>
<h4>Uninstall</h4>
<p>Uninstalling the plugin removes stored rules from your database.</p>

<h4>Google Search Console Integration</h4>
<p>Connect to Google Search Console in one click via secure OAuth 2.0. No Google Cloud project or API key required — the plugin handles everything for you in Simple mode. Advanced users can provide their own credentials if preferred.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services to retrieve traffic and search data for your website. All connections require explicit user consent through OAuth 2.0 authentication.</p>
<h4>OAuth Relay Server</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is:</strong> A relay server operated by Rc2i (hosted at seopilote.fr) that handles Google OAuth authentication on behalf of the plugin</li>
<li><strong>What it’s used for:</strong> Securely managing the OAuth 2.0 flow so users don’t need to create a Google Cloud project. The relay exchanges authorization codes for access tokens using credentials stored server-side.</li>
<li><strong>Data sent:</strong> OAuth authorization code, exchange tokens</li>
<li><strong>Data NOT sent:</strong> The relay never receives your Google Search Console data. All API data calls are made directly from your WordPress site to Google.</li>
<li><strong>When:</strong> When you click “Connect to Google” in the plugin settings</li>
<li><strong>Service URL:</strong> https://seopilote.fr/</li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> https://seopilote.fr/politique-confidentialite</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> https://rc2i.net/</li>
</ul>
<h4>Google OAuth 2.0</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is:</strong> Google’s authentication service</li>
<li><strong>What it’s used for:</strong> Authenticating users to access Google Search Console API</li>
<li><strong>Data sent:</strong> Authorization code, client credentials (Client ID)</li>
<li><strong>When:</strong> When you click “Connect to Google” in the plugin settings</li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> https://policies.google.com/terms</li>
</ul>
<h4>Google Search Console API</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is:</strong> Google’s API for accessing Search Console data</li>
<li><strong>What it’s used for:</strong> Retrieving search impressions, clicks, CTR, position data, and keywords for your pages</li>
<li><strong>Data sent:</strong> Your website URL, date ranges for data queries</li>
<li><strong>When:</strong> When you click “Synchronize traffic data” in the Traffic tab</li>
<li><strong>API Documentation:</strong> https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools</li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> https://developers.google.com/terms</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> The plugin does not send any data to Google without your explicit consent and authentication. In Advanced mode, you can provide your own Google Cloud credentials instead of using the relay server.</p>
