URL Auto Linker by Jerin.ca is a simple idea done really well: you save a URL, add one or more “aliases” (keywords), and the plugin automatically turns those aliases into links wherever they appear in your posts and pages. That means less manual linking, more consistent anchor text, and a cleaner workflow when your site starts to grow.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “I’ve linked this same thing in five different posts already,” this plugin is built for you. It’s also a great fit if you manage multiple sites and want a repeatable linking system you can move around without redoing everything by hand (thanks to import/export).

Why URL Auto Linker by Jerin.ca is a smart move for SEO and UX
Internal linking isn’t just an SEO checkbox—it’s how visitors (and search engines) discover your best pages. Google explicitly uses links to discover content and understand relevance, and it encourages clear, crawlable links and descriptive anchor text.
But the practical problem is time. When you publish consistently, manual linking becomes repetitive: you either skip it (and your site structure suffers), or you spend extra minutes on every post doing the same link work again and again. Automating the repeatable part of linking is what makes this plugin so useful.
There’s also a consistency advantage. When you save a URL with the aliases you prefer, you’re building a reusable “link rule.” Over time, your site becomes easier to navigate, and readers keep finding related content without you babysitting every paragraph.
How URL Auto Linker by Jerin.ca works
At its core, the workflow is straightforward: you create a list of Saved URLs, attach one or more aliases to each URL, then let the plugin handle the linking when those aliases appear in your content.
This is perfect for things you reference often—your services, cornerstone pages, product pages, support pages, partner sites, or even frequently mentioned terms in your niche. Instead of linking “the hard way” every time, you define it once and reuse it across your site.
And because each saved URL can have its own settings, you can choose link behavior that matches the situation—like opening specific links in a new tab or marking certain links as nofollow (useful for ads, affiliates, or uncertain sources).
Free features in URL Auto Linker by Jerin.ca (what you get right now)
The free version covers the essentials you need to start building a reliable linking system immediately:
You can save URLs with one or more aliases, and the plugin will auto-link those aliases inside post/page content. That alone is a big time-saver once you’ve built a decent library of recurring links.
You also get per-link options like “open in a new tab” and “nofollow,” which is helpful when you want different behavior depending on the destination. (For example: internal links might open in the same tab, while certain external resources might open in a new tab.)
Finally, import/export is included—so if you’re running multiple WordPress sites, migrating, or staging changes, you can move your Saved URLs between sites without starting over.

Pro features: control, performance, and smarter linking at scale
Once your site reaches the point where you want precision and scale, Pro turns the plugin into a full internal-link operations panel.
Pro adds link limits (per-alias per paragraph, plus total links per post), which helps prevent over-linking and keeps articles readable. It also includes post type controls and blacklist options, which is critical when you want auto-linking on blog posts but not on landing pages (or vice versa).
Another standout is exclusions. Pro can exclude certain HTML areas (like headings, lists, tables, and code blocks), which keeps your formatting clean and avoids awkward auto-links in places where they don’t belong.
For sites with larger rule sets, performance options matter too. Pro includes an optional compiled rules cache, plus an option to skip targets that are already linked manually—both are practical “quality of life” controls for real-world publishing workflows.
AI Links inside URL Auto Linker by Jerin.ca: suggestions first, you stay in control
A lot of “AI” tools try to auto-edit your content. This one takes a review-first approach.
Pro includes AI Links: Smart Suggestions, which analyzes a full post/page and suggests internal link opportunities (target + anchor words). You review the suggestions, then decide what to keep.
Even better: you can save selected AI suggestions into Saved URLs. That means AI doesn’t just “fix one post”—it helps you build your long-term auto-link library so future posts benefit too.
There’s also Zero-Link Posts, which helps you identify posts/pages that likely need internal links—great for improving older content and building a healthier internal structure over time.
Getting started in minutes with URL Auto Linker by Jerin.ca
Installing WordPress plugins is straightforward: you can search and install from the dashboard (Plugins → Add New), upload a ZIP, or install manually.
After activation, your best “first win” is to create a small set of Saved URLs for pages you reference constantly—like your homepage, your main service page, a booking page, or key category pages. Then add 2–5 aliases for each URL based on the phrases you naturally type in posts.
A simple way to avoid messy linking is to think like an editor: choose aliases that make sense as anchor text, and keep them consistent. Google’s guidance emphasizes meaningful links and anchor text that helps users and search engines understand what they’ll get when they click.
Best practices: make auto-linking look natural (not spammy)
Automation is powerful, but restraint is what makes it feel professional.
First, avoid turning every single mention into a link. Even if you’re using Pro link limits, the goal is a clean reading experience—links should guide the reader, not distract them. Second, use nofollow thoughtfully for specific outbound scenarios. Google provides guidance on qualifying outbound links with rel attributes like nofollow, sponsored, and ugc depending on the relationship.
And finally, keep your “Saved URLs library” organized. Over time, treat it like a knowledge base: update outdated destinations, refine aliases that feel unnatural, and add new rules as your site grows.
