How to create affiliate link with auto linking feature
Go to ThirstyAffiliates -> New Affiliate Link.
Type your link name. Paste affiliate link in Destination URL.
Scroll down up to Autolink Keywords section.
Type your keywords in the box. You can type as many as you like. Here I am using 3 keywords for my Thirstyaffiliates affiliate link. So those 3 keywords always show my affiliate link. When I use any one of above four keywords in my other posts, it will automatically show my affiliate link.
You can set Limit (per keyword) option. Or it will automatically display global setting. Here I have set 1. because I wanted to show my affiliate link once per keyword in a post. When you want to show 2 times, you can set 2. That number is considered per post.
For example, if I use Manage Affiliate links keyword two times in a post, affiliate link shows only one time, the second word does not have the hyperlink. If I set 2 as my limit. Those two terms will show affiliate link.
I prefer to set it as 1. Because too many links will have the negative impact.
