AutoLinker (others call it AutoLinks) is a vBulletin 5 keyword linking system designed to automatically convert particular words or phrases used in posts into hyperlinks. There are a number of this mod for vB4 but I've never seen anything for vB5. This is probably the first for vB5!

Here are possible uses of AutoLinker:

• Advertising - You can configure particular keywords to link to products or services that you are selling or advertising for your affiliate marketing program or your e-Commerce site. For example, whenever a user mentions "camera" or "web hosting" in his post, it will be automatically linked to a product page with your affiliate id and if someone clicked that link and bought the product, then you will receive a revenue.
• Linking of frequently used words in your site - In vBulletin.com support forum, how I wished that whenever I mention "enable debug mode" phrase in my post, it would be automatically linked to my blog post or to BirdOPrey5's blog post. Right now I always have to find one of those links and insert it manually into my post. With this mod, Administrators will be able to configure frequently used words, phrases or sentences that will be linked to an appropriate page and they will save a lot of time answering members because helpful links are provided instantly, resulting to high level of satisfaction for members.
• Glossary - If you have definition of terms or online documentation in your site, you could link frequently used terms to that page. For example, "contact us" would link to your Contact Us page.

Features/Benefits:

• Convert keywords in posts in topic pages only or everywhere a post is displayed across the site.
• Autolinks are easily customizable using custom CSS.
• Easily configurable in AdminCP.
• No noticeable drop in performance. Tested on an actual live site with a set of 70 keywords to convert.
• Does not require editing default vB templates.
• Free lifetime upgrades

Limitation:

• Not fully SEO-friendly. I have plans to make it fully SEO-friendly in version 2.0. This is not that bad since search engines still see the original text without the link.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with vB5 and 6 (self-hosted)
• Not compatible with vBCloud. For the vBCloud version, go to this vBCloud AutoLinker thread.

Demo:
See discoverxs' demo links (posts #4 and #7) in the replies below.


Instructions:
Please refer to the installation document included in the file.


Price: $50 (including free lifetime upgrades)
