Adding keywords or metatags to external links

    This is an example of a page on our site. We want to be able to attach keywords such as grade level (elementary, middle school, etc) to each link so that when a user uses the internal search function, she will find only activities that are the appropriate grade level. We don’t want to have to install a plug in because it takes forever to get permission, but would like to be able to code each link.

  • No plugins needed and for the external links, I doubt there’s any plugin that would help with what you want while internal links already have that capability.

    If you do a search for an item and it is on your site you can add categories and tags to that page on your site. Use those to help ‘drill-down’ and segment your content deeper.

    Learn to then navigate via tags and categories to build link pages for content within your own site.

    The resulting URLs in your browser bar will be great for building links to those resources in pages you’ll use to segment your content further.

    When you follow a link externally you can experiment with keywords in their search if they have it or via a site-specific Google search. That will help you build links with the search terms to the specific returned links to again ‘drill-down’ into the relevant content.
