Magento 2 Cross Linking

Business Value

Opportunity: Cross linking is a powerful weapon in your SEO arsenal. It lets you raise the page’s authority which is very useful for promoting a specific brand or a category page.

Problem: The standard way to add links is by doing it manually on each page. This is far too inefficient.

Solution: Magento Cross Linking automates the internal linking. It also includes a slew of options that let you customize the entire process.

How Does It Work?

You can input any keyword and a URL in the settings tab. These words on all relevant pages will automatically be linked to that URL with a single click.

Main Advantages

Choose where to Place Links

You can crosslink all pages on your site or select any of the following:

• CMS Pages
• CMS Blocks
• Category Description
• Product Short Description
• Product Full Description
• Product Attributes
• Seo Description
• Posts content from Mirasvit Blog extension

Exclude Tags And Pages from Linking

Cross links spread throughout the entire page can look too robotic. You can specify tags inside which you don't want to add links. For instance, you can would like to skip H1,H2,H3 tags.

If need be, you can disallow cross linking on specific pages as well.

Add links to custom blocks

You can add links to pages and blocks other modules created, too! Just specify the path from your site’s root folder to the relevant template and let the feature do the work.

Limit the Number of Links on the Page

You can set an upper cross link limit for a page. It’s a good idea because the recommended maximum crosslink quantity is usually 150 per page. All the links beyond that limit will be ignored.

FAQ

What is cross linking?

Cross linking is the process of adding links from one page of your site to another. It’s a very important tool for promoting both the site in general and its separate pages in particular.

What is the point of Cross Linking?

The main points of cross linking are page connection and page value indication. Search engine crawlers pay attention to the site’s structure and the way in which pages are connected to each other. If a large number of pages of the same site direct to a single page, that page’s authority will improve. This will benefit both site indexing and search rankings.

It also has other benefits, such as blog linking. Visitors can follow several links in the post instead of closing the page right after reading the original article. This increases the amount of time that a page is open. Google uses this variable for search rankings.
