What Do You Want To See In The Next Version Of Strictly AutoTags

By Strictly-Software

Hello, this post is to ask my users of  the paid for version of my plugin, Strictly AutoTags what features they would like to see in the next version.

What would make you spend another £40 to get a new version of the code?

Here are some ideas I am thinking about but I welcome comments. You are the buyers so you know what would make it better or which bugs need fixing better than me.

My Thoughts On Options

One option is to add the title of the article into any links converted from plain text into clickable links - good for SEO.

Also an "Auto Categorisation" feature. So not only Auto Tagging but Auto Categorisation.

This would be done through boxes that you could add to the admin form one by one.

One to hold a number of words, the other a number/count of words that needed to be matched, the other a category.

So the logic would be that if the number of words specified in the box, e.g 5 words related to terrorism, al-Qaeda, ISIL, ISIS, Jihad John, Islamic State, then the category "Terrorism" is added to the post

A "limit" to the number of tags you can have. Once this limit is reached no new tags are added OR you could specify that the auto clean function is run so tags with less than 2 posts using them are removed and then tagging can continue.

A similar option for when for when the tagging stops working for no apparent reason. This may just be me as no-one has complained about it. However it does happen on my sites with 25,000+ tags. Usually after an update of WordPress or Jetpack plugin code.

Personally a re-save of my admin settings or a clean out of old tags seems to fix this for me.

So a CRON job feature to run regularly and check for recent non tagged posts and then these articles are re-tagged.

Or an auto memory manager feature, a bit like my Strictly Sitemap plugin, which checks the amount of memory used on the last posting and keeps setting the memory to the right size on each post e.g the last size + 10%, or if it goes down, the last size used. Or allow you to specify an amount to be set in admin.

Tell me which feature you like or would like to see in the next Strictly-Software AutoTags plugin!

Strictly AutoTags 2.0.8 Released

Strictly Auto Tags 2.0.8 Released


I have just released a new version of Strictly AutoTags (or Strictly Auto Tags) which includes extra SEO options which will enable you to now not only wrap certain tags in <strong> tags but also link them to their related tag page.

This feature is called Deep Linking and the aim is that you can let BOTS find extra content related to your article quickly from the post.

You can control the number of words per tag that get deep-linked as well as limiting the deep-linking to tags with a minimum number of posts e.g only deep-link tags with 10 posts associated with them.

The benefit of deeplinking when you are saving a post and not as other SEO plugins do on outputting it is that you speed up the display of the article.

Remember you only save a post one or a few times whilst it can be displayed thousands of times (with or without a caching plugin).

There are also options to clean out the SEO options e.g remove the deep-linking and bolding when you save a post so that every edit gets a new AutoTag scan.

If you want to check out a website that has been using the plugin for sometime then check out www.ukhorseracingtipster.com and see the tags that are displayed for each article.

If you like the plugin and make a donation then let me know and I will add a backlink from this site to yours so that you get some free advertising and some PR / Link Juice from Google.
