## Description

Are you tired of linking websites in your post? This plugin will solve your problem.
Link your keywords once and forget about them.

Manage them in one place and create your own shortcuts via Keywords.

Are you an affiliate marketer, you don’t have to manually insert your affiliate 
links manually every time you write a blog post. Also, it has a link shortening 
feature to hide and protect your links.

#### Affiliate Butler Pro

[Upgrade to Affiliate Butler Pro](https://wpruby.com/plugin/affiliate-butler-pro/)

_Affiliate Butler Pro_ is a **significant upgrade** to _Affiliate Butler Lite_ that
adds many features such as internal, images, galleries, videos, maps and sharing
tooltip and much more features.

### Plugin’s Features

### Auto-Linking

The plugin allows you to add one or multiple keywords in order to automatically 
link them to an external link.

### Do Follow

You can set whether you want the keyword’s link to have the dofollow or nofollow
values in order to allow search engines to follow this link and use it in ranking
or not.

### Open Target

Set the opening behavior of the keyword’s link whether to open in the same window
or a new window.

### Auto Shortening

You can shorten the keyword’s link in order to make them clean links and prettified.

### Case Sensitive

You can set the Auto-Link to be letters case sensitive for more accurate replacement

### Pro Plugin’s Features

### Linking Types

We have 8 types of linking your keywords:

 * **Internal URL:** You can link your keywords to an internal page of your website.
   You can find the page by an easy auto-complete list.
 * **Custom HTML Popup:** The keyword can be linked to a popup that contains any
   design you want as the plugin accept HTML code to be integrated into the popup.
   For example, you can add an opt-in form HTML code to collect visitors emails.
 * **Image Popup:** Keywords can be linked to display a popup which contains a single
   image.
 * **Gallery Popup:** Do you need to display a gallery of images when your users
   click on certain keywords? No problem, the plugin allows you to link keywords
   to gallery popups.
 * **Video Popup:** I bet sometimes you want to show the visitors a video but you
   don’t want them to exit your website to YouTube. You can link your keywords to
   video popups which support YouTube and Vimeo videos.
 * **Google Maps Popup:** Let’s say you are reviewing a restaurant on your website.
   It would be a good idea to link the restaurant name with a Map Popup that displays
   the location of that restaurant.
 * **Social Media Sharing Tooltip:** Let your visitors share any content/links you
   want to their social media accounts. By linking your keywords to a social media
   sharing tooltip, the keyword link will prompt the visitor with a tooltip that
   contains variant social media networks to share your content on.

### Linking Categories and Custom Taxonomies

You can auto link your website categories and custom taxonomies. Categories terms
will be linked to their archive pages whenever they appear in posts or pages.

### Limits Per Post

Limit the number of times that the keyword will be converted to a link per post 
if you don’t need your pages to be overwhelmed with links 🙂

### Comprehensive Stats

Even if the link was external or a popup, the plugin will be able to track the link
and provides you with many statistics (Visits per day, Countries, Browsers, Operating
Systems and languages ). I will add more features in the statistics page in order
to provide the plugin user of the maximum benefits of statistics and tracking. Moreover,
each keyword has its own stats in the keyword editing page.

The plug-in you developed has a BUG that needs to be fixed: When using plug-in to
set up English keyword outer chain, if the keyword is more than one word, it can
not save the settings, it will show errors ~~~ Plug-in Name:　　Keywords to Links
