Get away hackers welcome to his link Whispers review video I’m Garrett and One of the founders of Atari Hakka and Before we get started I’d like to remind You to hit the subscribe button if you Are just finding us on YouTube because We have a lot more videos like this one Coming up if you want more info on this Review we are going to be putting a blog Post together so click on the card above If you want to read the blog post and See all the screenshots that we put Together but now let’s get started with This video internal links are really Important for SEO They absolutely correlate with higher Rankings we’ve actually done a data Study where we analyzed over a million Internal links and found that they Exactly correlated with pages ranking Higher so if you want to rank higher in Google you should have great internal Linking on your website especially Internal links from pages that receive External links to pass an interest Around your website The problem is internal links is there’s No real automated way of doing it the Way I’ve been doing it so far was to use A site search on Google site column plus My domain and then type the keyword Related to the blog post and Google Would give me a list of posts that would Actually be relevant in this case to
Internal link in my post it works pretty Well but it’s not perfect Think about it for a second let’s say You have a blog post on best SEO WordPress plugins if I was using my Method I would be typing side column Atari hacker world first plugins or SEO Plugins and I would get some Recommendations from Google but my Article is not just about SEO plugins it Has a bunch of sub topics such as site Speed how used messed up the rankings of Millions of websites schema title tags Meta description and all these things Could have relevant internal links for The sub sections of the review and my Tactic doesn’t really cover that so I’m Going to be missing a lot of Opportunities for internal links and we Know these are pretty important for Ranking so it is a bit of a loss for Myself and that’s where link whisperer Enters the market link whisperer Promises to harness the power of AI I Know super high P to find internal link Opportunities for you and they do that For $67 for one site per year or $97 for Three sites per year or $147 for ten Sites so I guess the question for this Review is does link Whisperer bring Enough value to justify its price and to Try to answer that question there’s a Few things I wanted to look into the First one is how relevant are the
Internal link suggestions that link Whisperer makes the second one is How clean is the code of the internal Links I have seen in the past a bunch of Internal linking plug-in using Ajax and JavaScript redirects and really messy Stuff that is just not as good as the Wielding so I’m really gonna look for That third one is does it work with page Builders a lot of people are using Mentor thrive architect oxygen as well There’s a bunch of that beaver and Divi Does this work with it and for how many Resources is gonna take is it going to Slow down your website is it going to Like load extra scripts when you load a Page etc I’m going to be looking into That as well now that we set the stage Let’s jump into it once we still and Activate link whisperer with the key That they give you when you purchase the Plug-in it’s going to load an extra box At the bottom of the edit page of your Post if you use custom posts you can Also set it up there you just need to Trigger in the settings this box will Give you internal linking suggestion you Can limit it to the category of the post Which is really nice if you are building Like self-contained silos and you have a Really strict silo structure or you can Just have it scan your entire site for Suggestions on the left of the table is Going to give you a blob of the article
With a portion of the text highlighted As a proposed internal link this blog is Often enough context but sometimes I Find myself opening the article because I wasn’t exactly sure what the sentence Was or what part of the article this was Which really was difficult for me to Evaluate if the internet was relevant or Not in that colon I also noticed that The anchor text were very long I’d like To keep mine around three to four words Maximum but very often these were like Half sentences or very very long and on The right of the column they are going To give you the title and the URL of the Pages that the thing these links should Be pointing to and also give you a list Of alternative URLs in case you don’t Like the one that they proposed to you So you can pick from different ones so In order to test the recommendations I Decided to take this blog post on Atari Hacker which is a case study that has a Decent amount of incoming links and a Writer link whisper to see what it would Recommend we internal link to I would Then look at how many recommendations Are returned to see how good it is so it Gave me 62 total suggestions and all of These I retained only 17 which is not Bad in the end 70 new internal links on The post I have reviewed in the past It’s actually a lot of internal so I’m Pretty happy with that and I think that
Big deal our rankings in terms of Suggestions many were quite irrelevant Which is annoying but I’m not really mad NLP natural language processing is just Not that good these days and if it was Computers and Google would be writing Content they would not need you they Would not need a SEOs and you would Probably be out of a job watching Computers just ranking all the keywords So don’t be mad either it’s not perfect But still found some decent suggestion The one thing that really annoyed me the Most though is when there was a Suggestion for an internal link and then It was proper missing me a list of pages That I would not have linked to but Rather I would pick another page on the Side that seemed more relevant like in This case our list of affiliate Nicias These things would have made a lot of Sense Problem is link whisper does not let me Input my own URL for the internal link So if i want to add the internal link i Need to actually myself going the Article and with the ausco whereas if I Didn’t have the plug-in which was really Annoying I just wish I had a little box Here where I could input my own URL for That link it would make things much Easier and kind of make up for the low Quality NLP sometimes another thing that Annoyed me with the suggestions is the
Way you edit the anchor text so you can Actually change the anchor text to some Extent I was complaining that it’s a big Long sometime you can actually click the Words and it will change the actual Highlighted text but it’s very clumsy It’s not very consistent and it’s really Hard for you to select the right and Context and one thing I like to do when I do my internal linking is actually Edit the text a little bit so that my Anchor text reflects the key words I Want to rank for which would give so Much more power to this plug-in but I am Absolutely unable to do that in the Plug-in I have to just pick the text That is already in the text and I can’t Change it at all I wish I could double Click it and actually rewrite some of The text and put the right anchor text Here that would add so much value to the Plug-in for me anyway once I was done With my selection and I kind of like Tweak my anchor text etc I clicked on The add links button I just reloaded the Page for me and added all the internal Links just fine I did it on Gutenberg it Worked fine I did under the mentor it Also worked fine so I’m pretty confident That photos supported page builders it’s Going to do a good job and you’re not Going to have to worry about Incompatibilities or something like that Which is a good job from the developers
To be honest then after this was done I Went on the actual post and I opened the HTML of the links just to look at how They build these names and again it was Actually good news here these were Complete normal HTML links There was no crazy Ajax there was no Crazy JavaScript the only thing that Would distinguish these links from maybe A link you would build manually is a CSS Class WPIAL internal link which really Is not a big deal Google does not care About this or big sites have classes on Their links etc it’s not going to affect Your rankings so you don’t have to worry As far as I’m concerned the internal Links built by link whisperer just as Good as the ones you build manually and Finally I looked at the resource cost of The plug-in so what I did is I took one Of my blog posts and I run a GT matrix Test before and then I run it after and You can see there’s pretty much no Difference actually the after one was Faster for some reason I guess the Server got a diet coke or something like That and got a little bit of a boost but Although I didn’t seem to affect things Then I went to query monitor to see if It’s loading any extra scripts on your Page loads I found a bunch of elemental Stuff but I did not find anything to do With link whisperer so it does not Really seem to slow down your website
Maybe it uses some resources when it Scrolls your website for recommendations But that would be temporary and although It does look pretty good on performances Even though I’m sure someone could dig Deeper in there so not I have tried the Very basic function of link whisperer I Guess the final question is is link Whisperer what’s your time and what’s Your money and my answer is like maybe Honestly despite all the frustrations That I listed in just five minutes I Managed to add 17 internal links to a Pretty important page on outside despite Us paying pretty close attention to Internal links and that kind of Highlighted the potential value of the Plug-in to me I think that it can really Add a value on a big site if you don’t Have all the content in mind if you Outsource content uploading if you’re Not paying attention to which page etc I Think you can really give that to Someone that has half a brain and Essentially they will add a lot of Internal links on your site and that Will definitely help your site rank Higher provided the internals are not Nonsensical which the plugin can Definitely do but on the other hand the Fact that I could not edit the anchor Text myself and the fact that I could Not add my own URLs was extremely Frustrating and that’s something you’re
Gonna have to deal with if you’re using – I honestly think that this plug-in Could use a couple of updates and be an Extremely useful SEO plugin so it’s Really up to the developers to put a Little bit more work in there to give it A bit more flexibility change the anchor Text thing change the target URL thing And overall I would be quite happy to Use that and give that to my team so I Guess I’m turning back to you now do you Think this plug-in is worth the money Just tell me in the comment section Below and if you enjoyed this content Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up Subscribe and hit the bell icon so you Don’t miss any of our podcast tutorials Our reviews in the future until then Happy rankings [Music]
