Why you might want article creator variables?
Example: insert a link using main keyword as text anchor.
Just use %keyword% macro to insert a link to example.com using the current article creator keyword as anchor text.
Example 2: insert a link using main keyword AND use a custom url for each keyword.
You can’t enter url into the url box because for each keyword; we want a unique url not shared.
Article variables can be used.
%URL1% is the name of macro.
Macro can be used anywhere in text.
SCM will replace macro with a real value on run time.
Inside our link setting…
%URL1% is used instead of a real url.
When you run task, each link has unique url provided by %URL1% macro.
Red panda link gets unique red-panda url.
