Linksy Reviews

Right now, this is not as good as it could be.

I was expecting it to scan my articles, "understand" what they are about, and then make sensible suggestions to each article.

Unfortunately, their AI does not actually understand what articles are about at all. It seems to really just rely on the keywords or alternative keywords you give articles to figure out if a link should be placed. Then maybe matches them to a few similar words.

It means you end up with some really weird links that don't make sense, or where the anchor text makes no sense to what it's linking to.

This might be interesting in a year or so, if they can get it working properly with AI that actually "understands" what articles are about. Right now, it just doesn't perform as advertised.

Ultimately you are better off understanding your own articles and linking sensibly manually. And that's probably going to take you the same amount of time as well.

Also, the UI is pretty terrible and confusing. There are way too many screens and too many places to do things. It could do with a massive re-imagining of the UI to make it easier to use. And it is quite hard to ACTUALLY use once you are on the correct screen, because the font is so large and the window to work in is so small.

I do think this could go somewhere, but I would look at it again in a year if it was still on AppSumo then.

Just have to give a shout out to Linksy. I've been using it for a few months on a blog we've had for years that has a weekly podcast, so there's lots of content that needed linking. I'm sure I'm not using it to it's fullest potential, but it's been so helpful and easy to create internal links. The software scans your blogs to find link opportunities, and then gives you rankings on the link options. It's easy to add both incoming and outgoing links, and while I haven't tried it much, there are some cool automation features as well.

And I also added Linksy to my brand new website, but then I did something to break it (don't start deleting databases if you don't know what you're doing... OOPS!) Anyway, Olalekan has been so helpful in helping me fix the issue (even though I caused it - not the fault of Linksy at all.)

Hoping I get the same help with the other plugin I broke.

Thanks again Olalekan for being so very helpful and for your great software! It's saving me a ton of time on creating internal links.

It took me a while to figure out how I could use the software, but then I realized it was saving me a lot of time. The main problem I found is that the credits are low T1 and I have to generate text first so I can proofread it and add my links. In most cases the generated text is not very good. I want to be able to not generate the text first, but manually add what I need.

Installed Linksy on two client websites and the internal linking features are super comprehensive. I really like the 'auto-insert' top 3 auto-linking suggestions when adding blog posts, and the AI processing of keywords and suggested blog content is pretty good too. I was going to get Link Whisper but I found Linksy is miles ahead in terms of capabilities. Also, Olalekan is super responsive when fixing bugs. I reported 2 bugs over the weekend and they were fixed within a matter of days.

The product isn’t bad. I like its link suggestions.

I just wish it would show orphan pages on the website like link whisper does.

Sometimes I forget to link back to a page so they just sit there orphaned. Link whisper was so good at showing that.

I hope they bring this function soon
