One of the most powerful elements offered by the WordPress Shortcodes plugin is the link set of shortcodes. With this set of shortcodes you can easily create dynamic adaptable links to any content on your site, which are optimized SEO links.

Introduction

One big problem with WordPress vanilla is that there’s no way to easily cross-reference content. So for instance when you add an attachment to your post, like an image, using the media uploader interface, WordPress simply places an HTML img tag with the absolute URL to that image into the post’s content.

This works fine when you’re just maintaining a simple blog initially but creates problems further down the line. For instance suppose you used to keep your blog at example.com/blog but now you want to move it over to blog.example.com, now you’re in a bit of trouble.
