General Configuration

The cross links function allows you to create a set of links and keywords. For example, you have a page http://example.com/laptops and you wish to promote it by using the keyword "laptop". After you create an autolink connecting this keyword to every occurrence of the word "laptop" on your store CMS pages, the Products or Category descriptions will be added to the link http://example.com/laptops. This way, you are able to build internal crosslinks automatically.

Go to Marketing > Advanced SEO Suite > Settings > Cross Links. You will see the following fields:

• Add links on - Select the content types where you would like the cross links to be applied.

• Don't add links inside tags - Ignore matching keywords enclosed in selected tags.

  Note

  To flexibly skip cross links for one part but add to another part of the same block or template, you can define a custom tag like <skip_links> or <skip_seo>, wrap the necessay output in the template with a new tag like this: <p><skip_seo><?php echo $description_text; ?></skip_seo></p> and add this tag as skip_seo or skip_links to the Don't add links inside tags field.

  Correct format: one tag without brackets per one line

• Skip cross links for a page - Select the pages on which cross links should not be placed.
• Paths of templates to add links inside - you may use this option to add cross links to the necessary blocks. To determine a necessary template file's paths to put into the field of this configuration option - please set to the "Yes" option "Enabled Template Path Hints for Storefront" in Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > Debug to see it on the frontend.
• Links limit per page - global limit of links that should be added on any given page. Leave this field empty to disable this limit.
