Wie Sie Ihre Links mit Hilfe von Standard-Link-Optionen auf Autopilot setzen

There is more to links than just wobei they direct the user – it also matters wie they do so. An important part of creating an effective linking campaign is considering how your links are set up. Failing to configure them appropriately can have a negative impact on your website, including through search engine penalties.

By setting up some default link options, you make it possible to automate the link creation process. For example, you can configure the default Redirect Type for your links, to ensure that all of them redirect effectively. This – and the other default options – helps you get the most from your linking campaigns.

In this post, we’ll introduce Pretty Links’ default link options, explain what they are, and discuss why you might want to use them. We’ll also show you how to set them up effectively using das Pretty Links-Plugin. Fangen wir an!

What Default Link Options Are (And When You Should Use Them)

Default link options are settings that apply universally to all newly-created pretty links. Some of these options include specifying default Redirection Types und enabling ‘nofollow' links. Of course, you can still alter your settings on a per-link basis, and you can change the default settings at any time.

By using default link options, you effectively put all your new links on autopilot. This makes it easier to create and manage your links, saving you time and effort. However, not jede website needs to use default link options. You'll want to consider using them when:

• The majority of your links are used for one purpose (Partnermarketing, for example).
• Your links all (or mostly) have similar needs, such as 301-Weiterleitungen oder Linkverfolgung.

Now that you have a better understanding of why using default link options can be beneficial, let's discuss how to configure them to best meet your needs.

3 Ways to Use Default Link Options Effectively

Now, we're going to take a closer look at the default link options offered by Pretty Links, as well as how to set them up effectively. Let's start by enabling link tracking.

1. Enable Tracking to Improve Your Linking Campaigns

A linking campaign is a deliberate process used to create and manage your on-site and off-site links. By tracking your links, you can see which are most effective, and tweak the ones that aren't performing well enough.

You can enable link tracking on a per-link basis. However, we recommend that you enable it as a default link option, as this helps you keep an eye on alle of your links. To enable tracking as a default link option in Pretty Links, go to Pretty Links > Optionen > Links in the WordPress dashboard:

Prüfen Sie die Box neben Verfolgung einschalten. Once your links have had time to collect information, you can view the results by navigating to Pretty Links > Clicks. Alternatively, you can create a Standard Report, which enables you to directly compare links.

2. Enable ‘nofollow’ Links to Prevent Search Engine Penalties

The links you create and use on your website have one of two settings – dofollow or nofollow. A ‘dofollow' link will share ‘link juice’ with the site it's pointing to, meaning that search engines will use that external site to better understand your own content. However, this isn’t recommended for affiliate links, and it can even lead to search engine penalties in certain situations.

If the majority of your links are to affiliate products, it’s best to enable ‘nofollow' on a default basis. To do this in Pretty Links, return to Pretty Links > Optionen > Links. Then, click the Box neben Enable No Follow:

Now, all new links will be automatically set to nofollow. However, this won’t apply to any previously created links, so be sure to enable nofollow on those individually if necessary.

3. Set Open Graph Meta Tags to Control What Social Media Sites Share

Kurz gesagt, open graph meta tags are text snippets that determine what parts of your content will be shared on soziale Medien sites like Facebook and Twitter. You can use these tags to make sure that important aspects of your content are incorporated when it’s shared across various social platforms.

An set open graph meta tags, you’ll need to enter the tags into your website’s Global Head Skripte field. You can do this under Pretty Links > Optionen > Links wieder einmal:

You can add as few or as many tags as you’d like here. When you're done, remember to save your changes!
