Multiple links to same post

    Hi, I am noticing that some of my posts have several links on a single page that all go to the same post on another page. Is there a way to limit the number of times the same exact post gets links to on a single post.

    Some pages have many outbound links all going to the same post elsewhere. This can make it look spammy, so I don’t want but maybe 2-3 links going out of one page to the same page elsewhere.

    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    P.S. I have tried adjusting “Maximum frequency of how often a post gets linked within another one” but it doesn’t seem to change this, so I don’t know if this setting is the right one to adjust.

    Their plugin is not working correctly, I have the same issue. I have my settings configured to have 1 link per blog and Maximum Frequency set to 1, but I am getting hundreds of links to the same post and its not diversifying links to other posts with the same keyword. It’s picking one post and having every single link go to the same page.

    I apologize for any confusion. It is not entirely clear to me what you are trying to achieve with regard to limiting the number of links to the same post on a single page.

    In order to better understand your issue and provide an appropriate solution, could you please provide an example for me?

    Hi, thanks for getting back to me. What I was meaning that, for example:

    #1 – I have a post about wordpress seo and #2 – I have another post about facebook seo, the facebook seo post is using my keywords for wordpress seo to link the exact same post many times, even though I have the setting set for 1-2 for example.

    The settings don’t seem to affect home many times the exact same post gets linked to from within another.

    I don’t want the same post having many internal links leading out of 1 post to the same post so many times. That looks spammy.

    I only want 1 specific post to have 1 or 2 links coming from the same page on another post.

    Thank you for your patience.

    We have investigated the issue and unfortunately, we are unable to replicate the issue.

    We also tried to replicate the setup, as you see here in the images:

    For example a a post with the name “Facebook Seo” has the content:

    analytics wordpress seo facebook seo yoast

    wordpress seo

    and a document with the name “WordPress SEO” has set the keywords:

    wordpress seo, facebook seo, analytics

    The setting you would need is the “Maximum frequency of how often a post gets linked within another one“

    The result is that it only linked once with the wordpress seo although it has two instances of the word and other keyword matches as well, it would only link the other keywords if you increase the frequency value in the option:

    I’m not sure what could be causing this in your site, but I have some suspicion that the link index build was not able to properly complete for some reason. To check this can you send us an error log of the site with the issue and also check your action scheduler if there are failed actions, that could be the cause of the issue:

    Also: what version of our plugin are you using now? and have you tried to manually rebuild the index also via the rebuild button on the ILJ Dashboard?:

    Let us know so we can further assist you with this issue.
