How Glossary Terms Affect Your SEO

Related Terms and Articles on a Term page
Related Terms and Articles on a Term page
Glossary term pages are all linked together through a related terms mechanism and via the central index page.

This helps to create a strong infrastructure that enhances your site's SEO by quickly and continuously building a network of internal links.


WCAG 2.0 Support

The Glossary follows WCAG 2.0 recommendations.

It allows users with disabilities to navigate between glossary terms using the keyboard.

It is realized by adding ARIA attributes to glossary terms to help screen readers to understand the context.

Example of ARIA attrubutes added to glossary terms
Example of ARIA attrubutes added to glossary terms

Term pages can display related terms and articles that use the glossary term, helping lead users deeper into your site content.

By providing useful term definitions or supporting media in simple tooltips, users won’t need to rely on external resources to understand your content, no matter how technical it may be.

They will understand your content better and stay on your page longer, making both them and Google happy. Create the ultimate resource with this WordPress wiki plugin.


How Does the WordPress Knowledge Base Plugin Improve Your Site’s SEO?

  1. Generate Internal Linking – The plugin lets you automatically create links to term pages from existing blog posts or pages.

    This means that you have created thousand of backlinks in a matter of seconds to a term page from within your site with no extra work on your end!

  2. Integrate External Resources – You can easily add definitions for each term from multiple trusted sources like Merriam-Webster and Wikipedia.

    Linking to trusted resources helps validate your content with users and Google alike.

  3. Build Term Pages with Valuable Information – The Glossary plugin automatically creates a post for each term in the glossary and helps connect users to related terms and articles.

    This can help draw users into your site when they search for this terminology in Google, and help them stay on your site longer.


Translating The Plugin Interface

All frontend labels can be easily changed to any language so the user interface will speak your language. This also includes the alphabetic index page list.

For multilingual sites, the plugin further integrates with Google Translate and Merriam Webster, so you can translate specific words or phrases from a source language to a target language.

Translated terms and definitions can be displayed in both or a single language and enabled or disabled for individual terms.

With features similar to Wikipedia and Wikia, this dictionary addon is perfect for enriching Wiki platforms in any language.


Built For Performance

Do you have thousand of terms to add to your Glossary / wiki or dictionary? That’s ok. The premium version of WordPress plugin places no limits on the number of terms you can add and is optimized to run quickly.

The bottleneck is the server. When you reach thousands of items, the server might become overloaded. In that case the plugin offers performance and debugging tools to help you, such as server-side pagination.


Encyclopedia and Dictionary Integrations

The plugin functionality enables you to display content directly from Wikipedia, Merriam-Webster Dictionary, or Thesaurus by connecting the plugin with free API keys.

Fetch excerpts of their definitions in popup tooltips. Clicking on the term will route users to the term page where they can read full definitions, complete with supporting images, video, or audio files.

Connecting Wikipedia will turn the dictionary tool into the best WordPress wiki plugin, and your site into an encyclopedia. Show up-to-date wiki articles every time a user highlights a term.

Using Merriam-Webster Dictionary makes it both a super dictionary addon and a traditional glossary. Let users find out the definition of more complex terms.

This is a simple and fast way for users to access supplementary information without leaving your page or post.

Customer Reviews for the Tooltip Glossary

  • The one to choose if you need a glossary

    I spent a week testing all tooltip/glossary plugin's available for WP - most of them in their pro versions. CM Tooltip is actually the most inexpensive, but the most advanced too! It is the one to choose, if you do need a glossary. They provide the most elaborate documentation with lots of sophisticated features to customise to my needs - maybe yours too. After all it is the most inexpensive - it saves a lot of time!

    @spresy
  • Great product for English learners!

    I use this glossary tool to teach English to foreign students. It’s great for this purpose! I’m using the free version.

    One enhancement that really add to the value would be to allow the glossary entry to be various forms of a word such that ALL forms would be automatically tool-tipped.

    Glossary Entry Example: provision#provisions#provisioned#provisioning Definition: [goes here]

  • Working properly!

    Good plugin.

  • Wonderful tool and great support

    We’re using the tooltips extensively and can’t be happier with it. The issues we had were dealt with swiftly and in a very polite and friendly manner. Highly recommended!

    olaflexemo
  • Very Pleased

    So far I’ve had an excellent experience with this plugin. The free version did everything the author said it will do. I upgraded to the Ecommerce version and had a minor display problem which their support took care of in record time. I heartily recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a good glossary plugin.

    Now two weeks later. I’m now VERY VERY pleased with the plugin and the people who created it. A major conflict showed up with another really important plugin on my site. I honestly thought I would have to ask CreativeMinds for my money back. I sent in a support request and a fellow named John got back to me right away with a very nice fix to the problem. Wow! I wish I could give them another 5 stars.

  • Excellent plugin, ideal for websites using uncommon/specialis terms and Acronyms

    I run a website that relies on users understanding the meaning of the terminology used throughout, without sending them off to a Glossary page every few sentences. This plugin makes it seamlessly simple, by adding tooltip-style pop-up glossary definitions…. What’s more, the plugin offers the additional option of linking the glossary entries to a separate page for more in-depth definitions and links to websites that give more information and links to external/internal websites, pages and resources. This mean that the user can view the concise glossary tooltip definition by hovering over the term, and then visit the in-depth description page by clicking on it.

    Functionality, flexibility and options exactly as advertised and more. But the support is what makes this 5 star!

  • Amazing service

    Purchased the Pro version, only to find out it does not support categories (didn’t read that, my bad). Send a e-mail on sunday to upgrade to pro+. I got a answer within 10 minutes and it was taken care of within 30 minutes totaal. Amazing service and besides that: amazing plugin!

    Had a conflict issue with plugin and their support worked until the issue was resolved. Very good adaptable plugin. Loads of features, perhaps too many 🙂

  • Well done!

    What a great plugin! I easily added definitions for words that need defining and the plugin did the rest. The language learners can now mouseover the words they might not know and have definition show up in a tooltip.

    Many thanks for creating this!

    After installing the plugin, it was really easy to use, but I was missing some additions to the plugin. I contacted their support, asking if it was possible to change my view and ask for these additions, and they did it. I am very pleased now!

  • Great product with great support

    We used this glossary tool for our new website which has 1600 glossary terms in 7 languages.

    The plugin is working great and any issues we encountered surrounding the multilingual aspect of the website where dealt with by support in an eager, fast and enthusiastic manner.

    We also tried out other glossary plugins, but this tool got the job done with extra features not available in other plugins.

    The support is top class and will enable you to achieve your objective.

    I recommend this plugin 100% for your glossary needs.

  • Great Plugin

    I’m still in the process of setting up my glossary of stock market terms, but so far I have been able to do everything I want to do, except for the linking of glossary terms to the tooltip itself, which I’ve been told by support affects the performance of the plugin too much. But otherwise I’m very happy. The tooltips look professional and everything links perfectly. I’m also able to add videos and images to glossary terms, which is very helpful. And it allows you to add synonyms that automatically appear in the glossary index page. I tried quite a few glossary plugins before this one, and this is the only one that offers to most in terms of functionality. And support is very responsive. Overall, I’m happy, thanks Creative Minds.

  • Très utile et fonctionne parfaitement

    Vraiment un bon plugin pour gérer un Wiki automatique. Juste être prudent lors des mises à jour, vérifier que toutes les options sont bien configurées et ne pas oublier de réactiver la licence. Les options de configuration dans la version Ecommerce sont vraiment nombreuses et peuvent convenir à tous les besoins. Si vous voulez voir un exemple d’utilisation c’est ici : [Link redacted]

  • The Best Glossary Plugin

    If you are about to do research on the best glossary plugin, let me save you some time. The CM Tooltip Glossary plugin is by far the best. Let me explain why… I researched about 10 of the most popular plugins for my site [Link redacted], I looked up each one, researched its functionality and then finally decided on CM Tooltip Glossary. Here’s why… most people are simply looking for a way to list out a few terms. However, this is missing the larger picture, which is quickly building a massive link structure for SEO. This is what CM Tooltip Glossary does amazing. While other plugins simply list the terms in a grid format, CM Tooltip gives you the ability to automatically create links to the glossary pages from existing blog or article pages. This means within seconds, you have the ability to create hundreds of backlinks to the term page from within your site. It also offers a variety of customization options for the terms and how they are displayed when you hover over them. You can easily add multiple sources to each term, which again, is a great way to strengthen your SEO. Bottom line: If you’re going to build a glossary, you might as well build on that creates value other than listing a few terms on your website.

  • Fantastic plugin with great support

    We’re using this to add references to a field guide. It works wonderfully. Support experience: We were experiencing an issue where occasionally, one of the references would break and show the HTML with the entirety of the information. I opened a ticket and set messed up providing them access to help troubleshoot. However, just by my description, they were able to provide the fix (to my custom code) to address the issue.

    Long story short, we have a custom function that customizes our post titles breaking plant names into name, genus & family. It was breaking the code for the glossary entries. They provided the code to exclude the Glossary titles from our function.

    It works wonderfully!

    mgargiullo
  • Excellent support

    My site uses a custom theme, and the CM support team helped me to figure out why the theme didn’t play nicely with this plugin. Definitely worth what I paid for the premium plugin!

  • Great plugin, excellent support

    This is a first class plugin with a very extensive feature set. I use it as part of a small knowledge base and it is a tremendous timesaver. If anything, the hover activated tooltip part of the plugin, although very well implemented, is secondary to some of the other features – especially the automated term highlighting and the inclusion of related articles at the foot of each page (all customizable on a page/post by page/post basis) .

    I did run into one or two fairly minor issues related to integration of the plugin with the WP theme that I am using. Support to resolve these issues went beyond excellent.

    Highly recommended on all counts.

    There are a log of great plugins out there and this is one of them. Not only does it work excellent but the support was so fast I was amazed even with the amount of questions I was throwing at them. That is what makes a plugin great. I can see that it helped with SEO and that was one of the reasons for adding it.

  • Best Tooltip Plugin on Market & Dev Is Very Responsive

    Have looked at all tooltip plugins on market and this one works the best for us, by far. The dev is VERY responsive and has gone out of his way at least four or five times to fix issues we were having, some being conflicts with other plugins that were coded poorly …. He has even gone as far as to update cm tooltips to prevent said conflicts from occurring…. even though it was the fault of another plugin. One of the most responsive plugin developers I’ve worked with, by far!

  • Pro user – Does what it ays

    We’re currently pro users (licensed users) and recently had some hiccups when we upgraded WordPress to 4.2.2. In the end they were all items on our end / our responsibility, but support was extremely fast in responding (and also very non judgmental). The plugin is very robust and gives you a lot of control.

  • Powerful plugin, lots of options

    It’s not the most intuitive plugin but it’s very powerful and the developer has put a lot of thought into how it works. I noted some accessibility issues (WCAG 2.0 AA criteria) and the developer has been responsive to my suggestion of making the plugin compliant. They have committed to fixing this in future releases 🙂

  • New version CM tooltip 3.1.7 : Great plugin and awesome support

    Since I installed Twenty Thirteen switched from Hueman, CM tooltip plugin stopped showing on the page. It still appeared as float but not on the actual page.

    I contacted the CM tooltip team and they released up-date so it won’t send auto RSS feed…..this does not make any sense to a newbie like me but their quick response to my problem was great!!!

    As I have English/Japanese site for Japanese food recipes and recommended places in Japan. I wanted to have cooking and food terminologies on my site.

    This plugin has been a great way to do what I wanted.

    If anybody is interested making a glossary like that, this can be an example 😉

  • Very impressed!

    CM Glossary Tooltip has been a great addition to my website. I use a lot of different financial terms on my site and tooltip provides more info on the terms I use to make it much easier for my readers to understand. The feedback I have received on my site after installing CM Glossary Tooltip has been very positive. Everyone has commented on how much they like the fact that they simple need to “hover” over the terms they don’t understand in order to see a definition of it in more detail. I have also received many comments on the A-Z Glossary Index Page that shows provides the links back to the source page. Many of my financial reports can be linked here and visitors on my website have provided a lot of positive feedback for this new improvement. I was so impressed with the free edition, that I purchased the Pro Edition of Word Press Glossary. It has been very beneficial for me to be able to add synonyms and abbreviations as well as plural forms of words. The Pro Edition allows me to generate link types for much larger glossaries and this feature alone has been well worth the money. I have been very happy with this product and highly recommend it.

    wallflower2000
  • Wonderful!

    I loved this software so much! I enjoy writing and reading informational articles that have plenty of medical terminology. If I am reading the work of people who use this software, I can understand the article easier. Rather than having to Google search for each definition, I can hover above the word to get a definition. Knowing this, I am sure my readers also find it easier to understand what I am saying when I use medical terminology. Like any product, there is always room for improvement; unlike every creator, this software is improved on a daily basis. Great software, unique software. Buy it!

  • outstanding – features * admin interface * styling * support

    This is just BLISS for information workers, teachers, researchers, a FAQ provider, a business directory, a project knowledgebase. OUTSTANDING – FEATURES * ADMIN INTERFACE * STYLING * SUPPORT

    I have searched for years and years to find the best way to present articles online and at last at last I have it. Tooltips Glossary is very well presented on the admin side with plenty of admin info notes. It has tons of options so I can be fussy and get what I want. Heaven. The really huge thing is its core – the global sitewide links which attach to every instance of the titles of its articles (Terms). So wherever that word occurs, it becomes a link, and the link opens its article. Not only that, a hover on the term gives the summary excerpt (a definition perhaps) or the first paragraph depending how you set it. Yet more – I can add synonyms like a plural, or variation of the word, or an alias name for a person. So when all these show up they will all link to the original article. (I have to use a small workaround for author names e.g. Smith, John; but it’s no big deal)

    The Glossary – FAQ Knowledgebase Dictionary Encyclopedia Encyclopaedia Directory Index or whatever you want to name it – has its own index page which lists all the titles as links A-Z in various styles I can choose. The Glossary has Categories so David the Dev has just added a way to have category index pages too. There are also Tags. Then there are Related Articles links and a whole lot more.

    Styling is good and there’s an extra plugin for styling the popup Tooltips boxes.

    Support has been outstanding. David is keenly interested in developing the plugin and things I suggested expecting to pay for as custom features have calmly been added to the plugin within a week or two! How cool is that? David also understands what I ask for, or else carefully checks to see he does.

    I am using the Ecocommerce (top level) of Tooltips Glossary but I did also find the free version is excellent. I went for the top version because it provides fast support and I’m a fussy admin, and because I really needed a couple of the premium extra features.

    Don’t go for inferior plugins if you want a good site. Get the best like this because this is the kind of plugin which will carry the centre of your WP or else a major section of it. messing with inferior copies.

  • Great way to add for site users

    With this plugin I was not only able to provide the extra lexis detail my English language students need, but by linking to the dictionary and Wikipedia, I was able to add enormous amounts of content to my site with ease. The support is fast and well, supportive. A small error was quickly remedied and I would not hesitate to recommend this plugin and the people behind it.

  • Added value to my content

  • Great plugin

    I use the free version of this plugin on my home improvement blog to provide definitions to words and phrases that may not be familiar to my readers. Also in combination with Yoast’s SEO plugin, it makes every entry search engine friendly.

    Unlike some plugins I have tried CM Tool Tip Glossary has performed flawlessly with no conflicts with WP or any of the other plugin’s I use.

    While the free version has been a great addition to my site, I am strongly considering purchasing a pro version to take advantage of even more features.

    I am managing a website that offer Physics tutorials. My website if fully loaded with terms that are related to the subject. CM Glossary Tooltip helped me a lot to assist my visitors understand the content with less hassle. Before I used this tool, a lot of visitors had to Google the stuff in order to figure the exact location. But CM Glossary Tooltip provided an ideal solution to it through linking glossary terms. I am highly impressed by its results and can recommend this for any WordPress based website out there!

  • Really satisfied

    This plugin has been a great boon to my gamer website which is about welcoming newcomers to the gaming community. I use a ton of game terms and such on there that some people simply don’t know and I’ve been asked many times what certain words and phrases mean. This has clarified so many things for the users of my site and that is exactly what I want in my site, understanding. I’ve even gotten comments and messages telling me they like that new feature. I love how easy it is to use and it’s customization is a must have for me. Really happy that I found this and I’m gonna continue using it.

  • Absolutely Genius

    This program helps make an educational support group the best it can be. So many times we have terms used that someone may think they know but this allows to clearly understand the terms and language used in such instances. Our site, educating the world about CHD is a prime example. This plugin is a must have for any site using terms that may not be familiar to all people. Works flawlessly with around 80 plugins. Easy to set up and use. Intuitive with very little learning. Thank you to the Author for a fine, well behaved plugin!

    Job Well done!

    willandmae
  • Does the job well, excellent support

    A slick, straightforward and highly manageable way of adding tooltip popups to sites. Very customisable: you can tell it only to highlight the first instance of a word or phrase on a page, for example, or to omit certain words or whole pages from pop-ups.

    The tool also builds its own glossary, which can be extensively styled. The only drawback is that if this glossary page shows the definitions in full, then rolling over the titles pops up exactly the same definition as readers are already viewing – and there’s no way to turn this off for titles alone. Otherwise, an excellent tool with terrific customer support.

  • Excellent Functionality and Top Notch Support

    Plugin author has been constantly improving and adapting this product to my needs. It has been an integral part of our website providing tool tips of complex medical terms for dog owners. We couldn’t help owners as well as we do without it.

    The many updates have been extensive and recently, at my request, the plugin is now compatible with bbPress forums! This was critical to helping owners with sick dogs.

    I did need to spend some time working with settings, but those detailed settings allowed me to really fine tune how this looks on our website. I still have to look into the linking with dictionaries!

    I really like how this integrates with my SEO plugin. This draws people into the site who search this terminology in google.

    I appreciate the author’s sensitivity that we may not want this on every page and there are several settings to fine tune this.

    The entry is so easy that other moderators can help make entries.

    The applications for this as a training and educational tool are extensive. I can also use photos in the tooltips.

    Buying the upgrade is really worth the support you receive.

  • Comprehensive!

    While there’s a few features I’d like to see, this is one heck of a good plugin. We cranked out 281 new and very useful pages in our site in a matter of a couple of hours start to finish. Two thumbs up and five stars.

    dwf
  • Super handy!

    We were able to use the plugin to construct a glossary from spreadsheet data we have. The instructions provided in the settings page to properly produce comma-quote delimited CSV were very helpful as well.

    My only wish was that it was a bit more clear in that you have to manually add the glossary taxonomy/categories first, note down the categoryID, and integrate that to your spreadsheet data before importing. In other words, a more beginner/non-developer friendly way of explaining the process.

    Otherwise, great plugin with rapid support response time!

    An amazingly clever plug-in that far surpasses anything related to it. The developer is a great guy and sets a higher standard not only for customer support, but responsiveness, in my case to a bug in the pro version which he fixed within 48 hours. If you are wondering about the pro plus edition, don’t. It’s really the best of the best!
