Hello,

You can customize VBSEO_AUTOLINK_FORMAT in config_vbseo.php file for that:

PHP Code:

    define('VBSEO_AUTOLINK_FORMAT',        '<a target="_blank" href="%1">%2</a>');

You shall choose option : REPLACE acronyms as expanded text

I'm glad i'm not the only one that couldn't figure it out

BTW: I've tried this:-

PHP Code:

define('VBSEO_AUTOLINK_FORMAT',        '<a target="_blank" href="!22929!http://www.vbseo.com/f2/keyword-link-replacements-22929/%1">%2</a>'); 


and I can't get it to work at all.

[EDIT]



OK, scrub that... Was because I was re-defining. Didn't notice it was already defined.

Works now.

Edit: ok, great

how would it work if you had 3 KW's and one had the other one as part of it.. here is an example..

'yahoo' => 'http://www.yahoo.com'
'yahoo images' => 'http://images.search.yahoo.com'
'yahoo video' => 'http://video.search.yahoo.com'

All replacements are applied one-by-one, so you should put longer acronyms to the top, so that they are applied first.

so what would the outcome be if we did that?

That depends on the message text and the order of acronyms definition.

can you please display an example

'yahoo images directory' => 'http://images.directory.search.yahoo.com'
'yahoo images' => 'http://images.search.yahoo.com'
'yahoo video' => 'http://video.search.yahoo.com'
'yahoo' => 'http://www.yahoo.com'

You shall use display order as above

OK - We downloaded the latest version and tested it. For the most part it is VERY good, BUT there are some major limitations that make it difficult to roll out.

Here are the limitations:

1st - There is no option to eliminate KW replacement from the forum descriptions and announcements making it odd and spammy.

2nd - Every time the KW is visible in a post it turns it into a link... I would suggest having a top limit per page (x links per page) so we can make the links look natural and not spammy...

Remember the goal here is SEO and having 100% of the time the KW linked is not natural and bad for SEO.

I hope this explains the need for further work to make this a working enhancement.

I think what you require is another product which you can find at The vB Geek and product name is GAL. You are looking for an advanced keyword replacement and it has only a little effect on SEO however has a lot of effect on server perfonmance. Thats why adding keyword replacements only for posts or adding limits will only increase the load on the server and i dont think it is a route for vBSEO to follow. However be adviced this is only my personal opinion.
