Link to blog posts

    Let me understand. I have a blog post (1). I add keywords. And every time I write a new blog post (2) and I use the keyword it will link to blog post 1. Correct.

    This means I can only use a keyword once for my website. If I use keyword xyz on blog post 1 and blog post 2 it will not work.

    Is this correct?

    The first conclusion you have made is correct. You can add keywords using the keyword editor on post #1 and whenever those keywords appear in other posts, they will get linked to post #1. However, it all depends on the settings you choose. For example, if you choose to limit the amount of links per paragraph, it may not give links in those excluded sections.

    Regarding your main question, it does semantically make no sense to have 2 or more documents that are relevant for exactly the same keyword (cannibalization) in common SEO strategies. So currently, the post with the higher ID (the older one) always gets linked, once a keyword gets set for more than one post.

    We already have some nice ideas in our pipeline to better handle duplicate keyword settings (like manual prioritization, pointing them out to the user to quickly fix potential site issues, etc.). So stay tuned for updates and new features.
