<description><![CDATA[After over 1100 downloads for v1, I'm proud to release v2 of my popular WP SEO plugin Internal Link Building. Highlights:1) CSV upload. Can you say mass keyword editing? Hello time savings!2) Link multiple keywords to a single URL. This is effective for getting all the keywords you want a page to target done in one go. Just put a space a4 a4 pipe a4|' and space between the multiple keywords/phrases you want linked. E.g. affiliate | affiliate marketing. More efficiency! More time savings!3) Nofollow functionality. Often linking to an affiliate URL? Nofollow that sucker automatically :D. OMG! More time savings! Geez a4 set this plugin up and you may as well go on a month long cruise in the tropics!<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>
