Thank You for voting this June 2011 Mod of the Month!!!
The purpose of this mod is to automatically turn keywords or phrases you specify into links. You set a list of keywords and a list of URLs to link them to and let the mod do the rest.
This is the FREE Version. It allows you to auto-link words in:
There are many options as you can see in the screenshot. You can choose to include the "nofollow" attribute, choose to open links in a new tab, choose to match whole words only or not, specify specific forums, enable in social groups and visitor messages, and disable completely for selected usergroups or styles.
Version: 2.0
New in 0.91: Limit the number of links created per keyword per post.
New in 0.92: Use CSS to customize the look of links created by this mod.
New in 0.93: Linked words now retain the same case as they were originally typed. Also a new option to specify whether linked words are case sensitive or not.
New in 0.935: Fixed conflict with VBSEO and possibly other mods. Upgrade if you are having problems.
New in 0.94: Made the "Custom CSS" an option to prevent unnecessary HTML if not needed.
New in 0.95: Enable or disable in PMs.
New in 0.96: Should fix conflicts with AME3 mod, restores same case change in 0.93.
New in 1.0: Additional code to prevent unintended linking. No new features.
New in 1.1: Set approximate number of max links per page.
New in 1.2: Fixed bug when Ampersands (&) were used in keywords.
New in 1.3: Added optional notice on posts with links and associated phrase.
New in 1.5: Two new features: 1) You can now use a csv data file for your links (and advanced features) if you prefer and 2) You can use a custom user profile field to allow users to disable the mod individually if you choose.
New in 1.5a: Updated German language file thanks to Igel1.
New in 1.6: Fixed bug if keyword was part of thread title and thread title was a link in the post. (VB4 Only)
New in 1.7: Added field to extend the regex easily through the mod settings. Included fix for bold/font color links.
New in 2.0: Rewritten more efficient code. Added option to disable by styleid. Added GOLD version.
And you would presumably put your Amazon affiliate code, if you had one, in the link.
NOTE: This mod does not alter the actual posts or the database. Disabling or uninstalling the mod will remove all links.
There is a VB3 and VB4 version of this mod, please download the correct version.
Full instructions in zip file.
Notice: Since the following words are used in HTML tags I would avoid them as keywords:
style, div, class, pre, href, img, html, meta, name, rel, nofollow, and link.
I would also avoid any single letter or two letter keywords since they could easily be used accidentally in places you weren't intending.
Can this mod be used to hyperlink all words in posts that are contained in the tag lists? Think that would be great to get more traffic on otherwise untrafficed posts. IE, if I saw the word in a post that was hyperlinked to the thread list page of a tag that is in my database.
used to work great for me but now when i turn it on i get:

You need to upload the file from the .zip file to your server, the file functions_bop_wordlinks.php needs to wind up in your /includes/ folder.
Is there anyway here to control the size of the lettering in the links created?
I mean, is it possible to BOLD the link as it is created or/and push the size of the font up a notch.
Possibly add an underline if necessary?
