linkandcluster

<p>Placing internal links and related post boxes in WordPress enhances both user experience and SEO. Link&Cluster provides a clear overview of all your posts, showing you how many internal links, each post has and how many other pages are linked from each one. You can sort your posts by the number of outgoing and incoming internal links, making it easy to identify which posts need additional internal links.</p>
<p>The Plugin also helps you find the best linking opportunities. Simply open the Link Assistant, and Link&Cluster will present you with a list of relevant link opportunities.</p>
<p>Placing the links is incredibly easy and takes just a few clicks. Just click “Edit,” then “Place Link,” save your changes, and you’re done! After that, you can simply move on to the next opportunity. It’s a fast and efficient way to keep your internal linking on point without wasting time.</p>
<p>With Link&Cluster, you can do more than just link text. It also lets you easily add and move related posts boxes throughout your site. And the best part? You have full control over the appearance of these boxes. For example, you can choose to display a simple text box, or you can showcase a post’s Featured Image along with the title and excerpt—it’s all up to you!</p>
<p>As the name suggests, every website, like any book, needs a solid structure with chapters or topical clusters. This structure must also be reflected in your internal linking. Link&Cluster prioritizes link opportunities that can be placed within the same thematic cluster, ensuring a seamless, logical connection between your content.</p>

Internal Links Plugin: Link & Cluster

Short Description: Craft Internal Links and Topical Clusters in WordPress for a better User Experience & SEO Performance

Jose Mortellaro

<p>Loyalty Links is a WordPress plugin that implements a “give and take” approach to external linking. The plugin tracks which external domains have sent visitors to your site via referrers, and only allows links to those domains to remain functional. Links to domains that haven’t recently referred visitors are “broken” (href changed to “#”) while remaining visible on the page.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Referrer Tracking</strong>: Automatically tracks external domains that send visitors to your site</li>
<li><strong>Dynamic Link Breaking</strong>: Links to domains without recent referrers are automatically disabled</li>
<li><strong>Selective Monitoring</strong>: Only monitor specific domains you choose – other external links remain untouched</li>
<li><strong>Configurable Retention</strong>: Set how many days to retain referrer records (default: 30 days)</li>
<li><strong>Test Mode</strong>: Add test domains to verify functionality without waiting for actual referrals</li>
<li><strong>Cache-Friendly</strong>: Uses REST API endpoints for dynamic data, compatible with WP Rocket, WP Fastest Cache, and other caching plugins</li>
<li><strong>Performance Optimized</strong>: Asynchronous script loading and efficient database operations</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Track Referrers</strong>: When a visitor arrives from an external domain (in your monitored list), JavaScript sends the referrer information to a REST API endpoint which records the domain, timestamp, and increments the visit count</li>
<li><strong>Approve Domains</strong>: Domains that have sent referrers within your retention period are considered “approved”</li>
<li><strong>Break Links</strong>: Links pointing to non-approved domains have their <code>href</code> changed to <code>#</code> and <code>pointer-events: none</code> applied</li>
<li><strong>Real-Time Updates</strong>: Approved domains are fetched dynamically via REST API, ensuring cache compatibility</li>
</ol>
<h4>Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Encourage reciprocal linking by only allowing functional links to sites that link back to you</li>
<li>Create a “loyalty” system where sites that send traffic get link benefits</li>
<li>Test link management strategies without manual intervention</li>
<li>Maintain link quality by prioritizing domains that drive traffic</li>
</ul>
