The Bulk Auto-Interlinking Tool is essential for sites with thousands of pages. Instead of creating interlinks manually for each post, you can generate hundreds of semantic connections with just a few clicks.

Step 1: Open the Bulk 2.0 Tool

  1. Navigate to the Bulk 2.0 tool in your LinkBoss dashboard.
  2. Click the New Bulk button to start a new bulk interlinking session.

Step 2: Take a Backup (Strongly Recommended)

Before making any changes, take a backup of your site. This allows you to revert all modifications if anything goes wrong during the bulk linking process.

  1. Use the backup option available at the top of the interface.
  2. Confirm the backup before proceeding.

Step 3: Review How the Tool Inserts Links

At the top of the interface you will find a detailed explanation of how the tool creates links. Take a moment to read it. Key points:

  • The tool finds the most semantically relevant paragraph for each target topic.
  • It then adds two to three new contextual sentences that naturally contain NLP-optimized anchor text.
  • Example link insertions are displayed in the interface for reference.

Step 4: Import Your Orphan Page URLs

  1. You can paste URLs manually, or click to fetch and import orphan URLs from a specific category.
  2. Select the category that contains your orphan pages.
  3. Click Submit to complete the import.

Step 5: Configure the Link Filters

Configure the filters to ensure every orphan page receives at least one internal link.

  1. Set Max Inbound Links per Page to a minimum of 1.
  2. Set Max Outbound Links per Page to 10 (or adjust as needed).
  3. Choose whether to allow or disallow reciprocal links based on your preferences.

Step 6: Generate Link Suggestions

  1. Click Suggest Links to let the tool generate link pairs.
  2. Review the number of suggested link pairs. If not all orphan pages are receiving suggestions, it means the semantic similarity threshold is too strict.
  3. Click Visualize to see which pages are still orphaned.

Step 7: Adjust the Semantic Similarity Threshold (If Needed)

If some pages are still orphaned after generating suggestions, the similarity score needs to be lowered.

  1. Reduce the Minimum Semantic Similarity Score.
  2. Keep lowering the threshold until suggestions appear for all orphan pages.
  3. Re-run Suggest Links and use the Visualize button to confirm all pages are now covered.

Step 8: Select All Suggested Links

  1. Click Select All to choose all the suggested link pairs.
  2. Check the Skip Paragraph option if you want to avoid placing links in the first few paragraphs of your posts.

Step 9: Create the Links

  1. Once satisfied with the link suggestions, click Create Links.
  2. Wait for the bulk linking process to complete. You can manually refresh after a few moments to check the status.

Step 10: Verify the Results

  1. Once finished, click on any source URL from the results list.
  2. The newly added link text will be highlighted on the page, showing you exactly where the internal link was inserted.
  3. Repeat this check for a few pages to confirm links are placed correctly and naturally.

Tips for Best Results

  • Always take a backup before running a bulk operation.
  • Use the Visualize feature after each threshold adjustment to ensure full coverage.
  • Enable Skip Paragraph to keep your introductions clean and free of forced links.
  • After completing a bulk run, spot-check several pages to validate the quality of inserted link text.
  • Process orphan pages by category to keep your interlinking efforts organized.

By using the Bulk 2.0 tool, you can fix upto 200 orphan pages in minutes — a task that would otherwise require hours of manual effort.
