Best way to internalinking in bulk?

[rambolife]

How do you go about adding internal links to already published posts, on websites with thousands of articles?
My current solution is too manual and expensive, using LinkWhisper and some bot, but need to scale things up.

Open to any suggestions and ideas

My 2 cents since i spent quite a bit of time searching this a month ago. There is no such internal linking tool as of now ( i tested lots of WP plugins). Best methods:

1) Use the keywords (auto-linking) feature of linkwhisper. I have explored this but it seems too much upfront work, but probably the highest quality method. It can also create too much links if not set up properly. You need to do kw research for each article, I guess it can be created programatically with some AI.
2) Automate it with linkwhisper - i have done a bit of modification to the linkwhisper source code + a bot that goes through all articles one by one and creates the links. Quality is probably shit as the LinkWhisper automatic suggestions are sometimes weird. The good thing is it is set and forget. I run the script every week and all my new articles are interlinked. If there is demand I can take the time to turn the script into a user friendly product and sell it.

Link Whisper is by far the best choice as of now for automated internal linking but it still involves a lot of care and supervision. I still prefer to link the posts manually because this way I can pick the exact keywords I want the page to get linked from. It involves time and efforts but it is worth it. Link Whisper gives many random suggestions if left on its own.

For one of my site that has thousands of pages I use a Wordpress plugin 'Inline Related Posts' to place static internal link, linking to the most desired next page in the same category /tag. Its free version is enough for this task.

what about any ideas for auto-interlinking self-updated news sites? I would like some internal links to be added automatically into every new post.
I know LinkWhisper, but I dont think it is able to make auto-interlinking on a big scale for news posts appearing every few minutes.

The best way to do internal linking in bulk is to use a plugin or script to automate the process.

@Typhoon Blogger i am interested in potentially buying your auto-linking linkwhisper script if that is still working. Let me know.

I've had success using Screaming Frog to crawl the entire site and export a list of relevant URLs based on anchor text. Then, I set up a custom script to insert internal links in bulk using WP-CLI on WordPress sites.

For scaling internal linking, consider using tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs to find relevant pages for linking. You can automate the process with RankMath or Yoast SEO plugins, which offer internal link suggestions. Another option is custom scripts or API integrations to automate linking based on keyword relevance.

How do you select the anchor text? From semrush?
