What the author says it does
High performance and semi-automatic internal link building plugin for WordPress
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Internal Link Juicer is the state-of-the-art solution for building internal links within post content. It works by using an intelligent per-post configuration of your desired keywords. Overall, it improves your on-page SEO and your user experience (UX) by pointing out the right content for the given context.
Boost your internal linking
- Maximum diversification: With the intelligent placeholder feature, anchor texts can be diversified and the amount of possible links boosted with little effort. This also ensures a natural linking behavior.
- Automation: You don’t have to link your pages manually every time you create a new post. Once your keywords are configured, links will get built automatically.
- Full control over linking pages: Individual posts that shouldn’t contain generated links can be added to the blacklist. Post types, which should be used for linking, can be whitelisted. These options give you full control over the plugin.
- Customize your link output: With the possibility of our predefined template tags, link output can be completely individualized. This lets you customize generated links for your individual context.

Questions the author answers
What is internal linking and what is it good for?
An internal link is a link that is placed on a page which links to another page within the same domain. Internal links have an extremely high value when it comes to SEO and also the general optimization of websites.
Internal links…
- have an immense influence on SEO
- help search engines find new content quickly
- help search engines to better interpret and classify the content of a page
Will the plugin slow down my site?
Absolutely not. The Internal Link Juicer was explicitly designed for fast loading times and maximum performance. It solves the problem of generating links using its own index. This prevents additional delays while loading the frontend.
Will the plugin improve my search engine rankings?
Of course no guarantee can be given for this. But building internal links within a website is a basic discipline for onpage SEO. Internal links help search engines to find your content faster and understand it better. Both are important parts for good rankings. We help you to massively improve the structure of intern links and even automate the whole process stress-free.
Does the plugin change my content?
No – the plugin has its own index, where links that need to be created are efficiently stored. Whenever a page is rendered, the links are generated before output and your existing content is enriched with them. The content itself is not manipulated by the plugin.
Does the plugin work with content generated from shortcodes?
Yes – the plugin works with content (within posts or pages) that gets generated through shortcodes.
Can I disable linking on specific pages?
Yes, at any time! With our blacklist feature you can easily disable the generation of links on individual pages.
