External Links
The Manual Links interface supports both internal and external link creation. For external links, toggle the Custom URL option and enter the destination URL manually.
When to use external links
External links to authority resources (Wikipedia, official documentation, government sites) strengthen the topical relevance of your content in the eyes of search engines. The plugin automates the creation of these links using the same keyword matching logic.
Recommended practice
- Create one external authority link per page maximum.
- Always use the NoFollow attribute for external links to preserve your internal link equity.
- Target authoritative, stable URLs that are unlikely to change.
