Needs speed/login improvements. Promising future.

  • Update: Plugin developer fixed the minimum link issue. Looking forward to the upcoming speed and logic update. Increased from 1 to 3 stars.

    Not enough granular control. We wanted our links transferred over as our bookings have suffered greatly since Agoda switched their link structure, but we didn’t want any additional spammy links added. ?P?u?t?t?i?n?g? ?”?0?”? ?a?s? ?”?M?a?x?i?m?u?m? ?l?i?n?k?s? ?p?e?r? ?p?a?g?e?”? ?d?o?e?s? ?n?o?t? ?s?t?o?p? ?t?h?e? ?t?o?o?l? ?f?r?o?m? ?i?n?s?e?r?t?i?n?g? ?t?o?n?s? ?o?f? ?l?i?n?k?s? ?i?n? ?e?v?e?r?y? ?p?o?s?t?/?p?a?g?e?. They even allow it to place links in the very first paragraphs, on your home page, and in bolded text. It also misfires and creates broken links from partial text that belong to bigger words. Our favorite was linking to a non-existent Agoda page from “Fest” in the word Festival…every time it was mentioned in the post. We switched to 1 link and that seemed fine until we discovered that if we wanted to change the plugins chosen link to a different one that it’s impossible to do so within the post edit page. It doesn’t show that there is a link in the edit area whatsoever. It’s either take what they give you or nothing. Our site is now also running extremely slow since making the update and sometimes timing out altogether. It’s clear it adds some extra load to every page. I’m worried that the damage is done even after I deactivate the plugin. There isn’t enough documentation discussing how limited this plugin is.

    Hi Chris,

    We are sorry to read your negative experience with our plugin.

    We have added the ability to turn off the destination keyword conversions to the plugin yesterday. After updating the plugin to the latest version, you will be able to set 0 in the “Maximum links per page” field. After this, only the old-to-new link conversions will work.

    Our apologies for the fact that it took a while until we added this feature. We meant to include this together with a list of other improvements in a soon to be released update. We did understand this particular feature was urgent so we released it in a separate update yesterday.

    In our upcoming updates we will roll out additional improvements that will increase the lookup speed and the logic of destination keyword conversions (partial and whole string/destination detection and link positioning).

    Our apologies again for the negative experience you had with our plugin. We hope with this update and future ones, you will give our plugin another chance.

    Kind regards,

    Agoda Partners
