I only moved back to the UK two years ago (spent 25 years abroad), and Im already hooked.

anyway, those other things that were suggested, will post a revised version tonight mate!

Hi this looks like a great mod. I just had a quick question, do these internal links only appear on the moderators/admin post or every post by every user?

every post by every user. to extract maximum value you want as many as possible ;)

NEW VERSION RELEASED:

now has tooltips per link
optional nofollows per link
improved handling of not linking if the keyword exists within a specified series of tags.

please upgrade!

GOLD version available accreditation link (branding) free, in the next few hours.

If you want a copy, please PM me.

Holy crap this is awesome, installed and voted!

Anyway to make this go back and check key works and change them? Instead of just adding to new keywords?

You need to clean up how it tags your slogan in the footer. Take a look at my site at the bottom. There's no space between the previous bit and yours, and maybe they should have <br>'s in there or something.

shit, Id fixed that, I must have uploaded the wrong file, Im just going home now, will upload the new one in an hour or so.

cheers for flagging this!

It's on both your fuzzy SEO and this one.

yep, I reuploaded it to my board and checked the adminCP, but not the forumhome ;)

ooops

anyway, fix being posted in 5 minutes...

fixed, please reinstall....

thanks!

do I have to add 1 keywrod each time? or can I easily add a bunch of keywords somehow at once?
I did try with space between keywords, and "," between, but nothing worked.
ps: you have any idea how I can change the color of the links in vbulletin ? since I dont want to use default

I'm quite interested in the possibility of this. I have a fairly large Wiki integrated into my VB, and would like use auto linker to connect many words to wiki entries. My concern is server load. If I enable a lot of these, how will this effect load time? Will I have to worry about this jacking up my 'max_user_connections' or 'max_questions' resources on my database?

Works great! 5 stars! You rock man :D

Not sure what you change in the new version, but it slows the hell out of my forum, big thread wont load at all and i was gettin constant "SQL server gone away" messages, and no matter how much i increased the wait_timeout value it wouldn't go away

It actually crashed my server (And i'm not on cheap hosting, i have a VPS to my self with only 1 domain hosted on it) when i tried to backup my database while it was installed, i had to get them to do a manual rebbot and they said that ctrl alt delete wouldn't even work they have to power it off to reboot it

so both of these posts are basically about the same thing, so I thought I would answer them in one go.

At the moment, this plugin doesnt really have a huge amount of consideration for overheads or board size (bad of me I know, but Im on cloud hosting at rackspace and that can take a HUGE load, and my board is still tiny by comparison to many).

ALSO - this plugin was really built for my use, but Im releasing it here on vb.org for others to use as well (in exchange for links or donations of course!).

BUT - thats not to say that I wont take this stuff into consideration, its just I hadnt thought about it much pre-launch.

I will have a think about how it can be improved over the next few days and come up with a newer version mid next week. Any additional feedback you can give me in the meantime is highly valued, it all helps me to improve the product for me and for you!

thanks

MOGmartin

at the moment its one by one, I could arrange an import from csv though... I need to sort out any potential performance issues and other bugs first, but I will include that in the next week or two.

thanks

MOGmartin

well thank you! feel free to nomintate for MOTM as well ;)

Sorry, A bit off topic, But im curious about cloud hosting, How does this work with VB? is it easy to integrate? I've got a amazon S3 account but it looks complicated to set up, so if Rackspace is easier i'll get an account there..

no problems - Ive looked at S3 as well, but have found rackspacecloud far, far easier to get to grips with.

Its not only an excellent dependable platform, but it handles spikes with total ease. I had a massive traffic spike about a year ago on a site that host there, and received 120,000 visits in the space of 3 hours to a wordpress site, and it handled it with no slowdown whatsoever.

Its not cheap (I think it starts at $150 per month these days, although Im grandfathered in on the old $100 per month rate) - BUT ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT.

In the last 10 years Ive used probably 25+ hosts, and this one is hands down the best.


EDIT: In response to your question on integration, yes, its super easy, the php hosting is dead straightforward, and the only modification to the db handling is an unusual hostname rather than "localhost". They will give you a free trial month to get to grips with it, give it a shot, you will be impressed, I GUARANTEE...

The first version was fine and i didn't notice and drain on resources at all

neither have I, but then my board while traffic heavy has a small database. My old board used to get a few thousand posts per day and was on a smaller VPS, back then resources were a big issue for me, but alas, not right now.

NEW UPDATE

screenshots, description and more, see the two main links at the top of the description area.

1. In the demo thread on your forum, the auto-links don't seem to be working, at least not in IE8.

2. What is the difference between this version and the Gold Version?

the GOLD versions of all my plugins are now available at:
http://seoforums.org/seo-plugins/

Whats the difference between the gold ones, and the free ones here on vb.org?

1) they are branding free
2) fully supported in a private members area at seoforums.org
3) all new feature development is exclusively for the paid versions, the free versions will now get bug fixes, unless something is deemed absolutely necessary.
4) personalised seo advice from me, if you want it that is!

Best regards

New version released, mainly bug fixes, the linker wasnt working well on boards with heavy RSS traffic (like mine), and it was incompatible with some other plugins, all thats resolved now.

please redownload and reinstall.

GOLD VERSION OWNERS:
Please download the plugin from the priority support area at http://seoforums.org


Interested in Going GOLD on this plugin? Want full support? Want Branding Free???

Buy it here



thanks!

Installed, working fine.

I'm still REALLY new at this kind of thing, but it seems to work for the one link I made. Any advice someone may have for links to create would be welcome, though.

So far, I just did one to change "amazon" to a link to our affiliate coded url. I guess that's correct?

Oh, one other question. What was the second zip file within the initial package for? I didn't load anything from that.

yes, thats correct, check out my blogpost for more inspiration as to what to do:

Cheers!

there shouldnt have been a second zip file, I must have compressed it in error, I will update the package, thanks for pointing that out.

cheers

Theirs a bug in this one,

for example i put a url in a code box like this:

It displays on the post as:

(words used in "My Link" are not on the keywords list)

I Installed on VB 3.8.4 and am getting a few [replacer_a] in posts now as well. These areas are not realated to Keywords added

Hi, your addon is greate but it don't work for russian language :(

wait answer please

hi folks,

been working on my new, latest and greatest plugin for a while, and been away for a week, hence why I havent been on the board (here or my one).

new release should be out by next weekend, thanks everyone for the continued support.

if anyone is interested in my new MOD, take a look on my site (linked in the footer) and check out the badge in the top position of the right hand column :D

Will this work on 3.8.5?

Yeah. Uninstalled due to the [replacer_a] issue.

Hope this gets fixed. Great idea/mod.

nope. use the Geek Autolinker on 3.x boards.

Fix due out next week, just finishing my new MOD, Ultimate SEO profile badges, you can see a demo over at seoforums.org right now (right hand column).

cheers

MOGmartin
