Distant Website Interlinking
Two, three websites are easy to manage, but what happens when you want to link hundreds of blogs, wikis, CMS’s?
It’s not already hard to create unique content, now you have to start linking the the newest articles with the old ones and vice-versa. Yeah, shure there are some tools available like automated XML-RPC ping, but this is still manual labor.
Purple SEO needs a tool to interlink distant websites automatically. Here is my great Search Engine Optimization Tool idea and plan:
Let’s say we have two websites: A and B. Both WordPress managed. We’ll write a plugin that writes automatic links between them, on the fly.
Each Post on both websites has a list of manually written keywords suggestive to it’s content. We hold this information in a distand MySQL database, organized into arrays of the following structure:
Site => Page => Key => Used?_Flag => Key_word
On every requested page, from any of the websites, we compare the words with the keyword list. If a match is found, then we output the link. Of course some exceptions are expected in order to prevent errors:
- no link to self
- check if the keyword is already a link
- no linking more than once (that’s why we have the flag)
As you can see, I already written a small piece of code. And whoops, here’s something similar called AutoLink that may help scrap the code.
Off you go!
