Turn Keywords into Links with Word 2 Cash

Word 2 Cash is a free WordPress plugin. Its purpose is to turn specified keywords on your blog into links.

For example, suppose you want every instance of the word WordPress in your posts to be an anchor text pointing to http://wordpress.org. This plugin can do that for you automatically.

Just go to the administration page of the plugin and enter:

wordpress, http://wordpress.org

Now, WordPress becomes WordPress.

The original purpose of the plugin was to turn keywords into affiliate links. Hence, the name – Word 2 Cash.

This plugin can be used as a good alternative to commercial plugins such as Ninja Affiliate.

Limitation

To me, the issues below are not limitations because I implemented the plugin this way. It’s the way that suits me. This maybe the way that suits you best, too.

Okay…first…

The attributes rel=”nofollow” and target=”_blank” are automatically added to the HTML of every link. The plugin doesn’t give you a choice with this.

In case you don’t know, rel=”nofollow” tells Google not to increase the target website’s ranking as a result of this link. And target=”_blank” opens the link in a new window/tab.

Second. Some people may prefer to limit the number of instances that should be turned into anchor texts. You can’t do that with this plugin. Every instance will be turned into anchor text. However, if links on your posts are NOT styled to be big bright blue color with underline, turning all instances into anchor text won’t make your content look cluttered or spammy or anything…

I provide voluntary support for this plugin. I don’t promise that I’ll fix your issues (if you have any), but feel free to post in the comments below and you may get an answer.
