WordPress Plugin Of The Week: Link A Dink
My post on useful WordPress plugins was one of the most popular posts on this blog during December. I thought I’d start a regular Sunday feature that highlights one plugin that I recommend WordPress users check out.
The first plugin I’ll be featuring is called Link A Dink by Dax Herrera. Link A Dink is essentially a giant search and replace for your blog. It has a simple admin panel that lets you replace words in all of your posts with whatever you’d like but the main motivation is to replace words with links. For example, I could setup a rule that replaces any occurrence of the letters “FSGS” with this: Fore Score Golf Stats. You could use a rule like that to save you some time writing posts.
If you’re the type of person into selling links on your blog then this plugin could prove to be quite valuable. You could sell links to keywords within all of your posts for a fee and then maintain the sold links with Link A Dink.
There are other plugins that provide the same functionality as Link A Dink but some of them are commercial products with pretty ridiculous prices. If you’ve been looking for a simple search and replace plugin then you should give Link A Dink a try.
If you know of a WordPress plugin I might like to feature on the site please contact me.
This could somehow be profitable.. specially if the site is dofollow.. no point getting backlink from nofollow sites with this trick.. somehow, this plugin could be useful, thanks for the feature!

This is a neat plugin I read about before, but never implemented - thanks for reminding me of it! It can be extremely helpful to sell links like you said, or if a person is also trying to build up backlinks to their blog they could target that certain keyword easily in this way, as well.
I will definitely be installing this one now thanks to your reminder and excellent post. I appreciate this! :)

This is a WordPress only thing, tukang, so unfortunately you’re out of luck if you want it to work with Blogger.
