Newsletters suck, but keeping on top of developments doesn’t. So at InLinks we are going for Brevity. Here are February’s main talking points. Take your pick: Now you can manage and change the links created by InLinks. Amend your Competitors for any search term you optimize for. Why using a keyword on the page is […]
When trying to write better content than anyone else, our content optimization tool uses the top search results to build a content brief. At times, though, you know better than the search engines as to what is the BEST content out there, so we have given you the chance to change the competitor cohort list […]
If you need to modify the way in which inLinks builds internal links, you can: Delete links easily from the links screen Add Internal links manually Change the default behaviour completely (advanced use) Here is a short video to demonstrate the ways in which you can modify links.
When you create content briefs to write the perfect content for search, inLinks analyses the top 10 URLs that rank for that phrase in your market. Now we have given paid accounts the ability to change URLs in that competitor set. This might be useful if: The competitor page is uncrawlable There is a better […]
A short video on writing about Topics, not Keywords.
Managing Internal Links is a real challenge for SEOs and although inLinks has automated much of this process, sometimes you need to be a little more precise and perhaps would like to create your own. The inLinks system now supports the ability to curate and create internal links directly from your inlinks.net dashboard, so now […]
Today we have upgraded the API for our NLP analysis algorithm so that it works significantly faster and picks up more topics. The API is the part of our system that integrates the web interface with our Knowledge Base. When you update your associations or topics, this creates a ripple in the space-time continuum (OK… […]
One of our users noticed that when a page loaded which had our code on, but that page itself was not analyzed against our knowledge graph, the .js file called a non-existant JSON file, which created a 404 error in testing. In truth, the “cost” was small, but we are SEOs and details matter, so […]
Over the holiday break, I ran and recorded a case study to take an old piece of content, run it through the inLinks system and update it, then record the changes to the SERPs. The results (if you don’t want to watch how it was done): The phrase “WP SEO Traps” went from position 9 […]
Google now starts to index your Javascript within seconds of its initial HTML crawl of your site. But that is not the full story when it comes to Javascript SEO. Even without being a programmer – this stuff matters for SEOs (and inLinks users). This post goes behind the scenes a little to get the […]
A couple more launches this week. The main one is that we have set up a special “project” available on everyone’s inlinks Dashboard (requires a login to see that link). The project is specifically for creating content without having a specific URL or website to link it to. You are also able to start your […]
On the project dashboard, there were previously limited options for filtering the pages in your project. More problematic was an inability to display ALL the pages at once. This issue has been resolved by adding a new “search” function, to the right of the “page” column in the main project dashboard. The search looks up […]
The usage details on the account dashboard were not at all clear. We hope this new detail gives much more clarity to your account usage.
We now will now account for unused time when you upgrade mid-billing cycle. Previously, if you upgraded mid-cycle, we started a new subscription and then had to retrospectively refund any unused credit. This meant changing your billing date and relying on everyone to play nice. Now the system will keep the regular billing date but […]
When clicking on “New project” from the dashboard page, you can now select the “start from scratch” checkbox to start with an empty project. You’ll then be able to add pages manually by copy/paste. Let us know if something isn’t right with this. If you do not select this box, inLinks will pull the 20 […]
Today I added some further help to address your site’s security concerns that might be raised by adding .js files. The new content is here.
Today (18th November 2019) we just made it a lot easier to add pages to a project. The more pages you have in the project, the better the link graph, but this needs to be balanced against a diminishing law of returns on the value of adding pages that have thin content. Here’s what is […]
Some people were having issues detecting whether their .JS code was properly installed, especially if the code was inserted using something like Google Tag Manager. A new javascript detection routine has now been put live which should fix this. In addition, a few days back, we modified the javascript code itself, so that (if you […]
Google is now extremely proficient at understanding normal .JS files and according to a Google evangelist I asked, at the time of writing, Google’s Javascript crawler work running over pages within minutes (rather than weeks) of the main crawler seeing new content. inlinks.net code is certainly indexed happily by Google, but if you would like […]
We did have a problem with email delivery from the system, which was blocking some people from confriming their email addresses. This is now resolved. We added a link to the pricing page from the homepage as some people did not spot the pricing below the fold. On the whole the system has been working […]
