Hi guys,

Yes, I know this has been discussed multiple times and Link Whisper is without a doubt the best interlinking plugin right now for WordPress.

However, when we talk only about the FREE versions, which one is the best?

1. Link Whisper
2. InternalLink Juicer
3. Internal Links Manager

Any insights or suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you.
 
I've only used link whisper, but I found it helpful.

It had a lot of bad link suggestions too, but it helped me find some good opportunities.
 
LinkWhisper free is the best
Although I recommend you Interlinks Manager, it's extremely cheap and very effective (you can find it easily)
 
i use this: Inline Related Posts plugin By IntellyWP
Yes, it's a great plugin and definitely works great for interlinking in the form of related posts. Thanks for the suggestion.
However, I'm specifically looking for one that facilitates inserting links into keywords in my content (I probably should have cleared that out before itself).
It should be semi-automatic. I mean it should suggest interlinking opportunities for me to accept them if they are relevant.
Another very important requirement: the plugin should not remove the internal links it has built if I uninstall it later (I know Link Whisper doesn't, not sure about the others).

Are you talking about the free or premium one?

Yes, I have heard a lot about it. Unfortunately, I'm specifically looking for a free solution.
On a different note, between Link Whisper (premium) and Interlinks Manager, which one do you suggest is the better option?

Thanks for your responses, everyone!

LinkWhisper Premium hands down
But it's expensive AF.

For me, Interlinks Manager is almost free because I have an Envato Elements subscription from ages ago.
 
Good thread - I see a couple never heard of will review. Thanks OP and all.

You may also want to look into YARPP.
It's an excellent alternative for inline related posts.

I remember YARPP had major performance issues in the past. How is it now? Are you personally using it on any of your websites?

Currently, I am using Jetpack for related posts (thumbnail) since it does the processing on its cloud servers, hence not impacting website performance.

Also, are the inline related posts inserted by YARPP permanent? Or does the plugin add them on the fly, which means the inline posts can change with time?
 
I have good experience with link whishper, never tried other plugin
 
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I think I should go with Interlinks Manager for now with the hope that either Link Whisper considers lowering the price or I get richer :smirk:

I would caution using auto links to create links

Here's what I mean:

If you have a keyword "espresso machine"

You might have a sentence:

"I like semi-automatic espresso machine"

"super automatic espresso machine is probably the best bet"

"you should consider espresso machine that are over $300"

and non of those sentence would or should have "espresso machine" linked if the article is:

best espresso machine under $100

It's going to hurt you in the long run.
 
LinkWhisper is good.
The beauty of the plugin is, once you install it, within seconds it will scan all of your WordPress websites and start suggesting words that you could link to.
