What is Linkbot?

Linkbot is an automated internal linking assistant which instantly updates internal links.

It uses a proprietary internal link analyzer to identify internal link opportunities to enhance your content, UX and boost seo rankings.

Internal links on your website are automated as soon as you add the Linkbot Javascript code.

Linkbot vs. Manual Internal Linking

The benefit of Linkbot is that Linkbot will automatically place the optmized internal links directly on your website once you add the Linkbot JS code to your website. Note that you should have added the code to all webpages.

Linkbot will place each link within a body of text, with a contextual anchor text related to the content of the target page. Linkbot detects already existing internal links to avoid duplicating them.

How many languages do you support?

Currently, Linkbot works only with English language websites.

Which platforms do you support?

Linkbot and internal link reports are platform-agnostic. Your Linkbot will work with any web platform like Webflow, Blogger, Wordpress, HTML5. Any CMS? Yes, Shopify, Woocommerce, Bigcommerce, Sitecore, Adobe AEM, you name it. As long as you can add the Linkbot Javascript snippet to your website, it will work.

You can easily add the Linkbot Javascript code to any website where you have Google Tag manager.

Will Linkbot slow down my website?

As an SEO you take page performance seriously. Linkbot also takes page performance seriously and the Linkbot script does not stop your site from loading its assets because the script is loaded asynchronously.

Since every piece of JavaScript code added can affect your site to some extent, we cannot guarantee that your site will not be affected in any way. However, the Linkbot script is designed to have minimal impact on your site performance. Of course, it also depends how many other plugins and Javascript snippet your website has.

Why do I need an internal linking tool?

Automated internal linking can be beneficial and time-saving for several reasons:

  1. Efficiency and Time-Saving: Automating the internal linking process eliminates the need for manual searching, identifying relevant pages, and inserting internal links one by one. Linkbot analyzes your website's content and structure, identifies linking opportunities, and generates internal links with appropriate anchor text, saving you significant time and effort.

  2. Consistency and Scalability: Manual internal linking can be a laborious task, especially for larger websites with numerous pages or websites which are updated frequently. Automation ensures a consistent approach to internal linking across your entire website, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring a scalable solution that can handle websites of any size.

  3. Improved User Experience: Automated internal linking tools help create a better user experience by guiding visitors to related or relevant content within your website. By providing well-placed internal links, you can enhance navigation, improve orphan pages, encourage exploration, and increase engagement on your website.

  4. SEO Benefits: Internal links play a crucial role in SEO. They help search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your website, establish the relevance and importance of pages, and distribute authority and ranking potential. Automated internal linking tools can optimize your internal link structure for improved SEO performance, including better crawlability, indexation, and potential ranking benefits.

  5. Time-Sensitive Updates: If you need to make updates or changes to your internal linking strategy, automated tools allow for quick and efficient modifications. Instead of manually updating each link individually, you can rely on Linkbot to automatically adjust and optimize your internal links as needed.

While automated internal linking can be a time-saving solution, it's important that you also review your internal link report. You need to ensure the generated internal links are relevant and align with your overall content strategy. Regular monitoring and manual review of the generated links are also recommended to maintain quality and relevancy.

Overall, automated internal linking with Linkbot can significantly streamline the process, save time, and improve the effectiveness of your internal link structure, leading to a better user experience, enhanced SEO, and increased efficiency in managing your website's internal linking efforts.
