How to make a link in VK for everyone’s joy and amusement

What should everyone know about hyperlinking?

A hyperlink is a conductor on the Internet. Using it, you get to the site and find out the necessary addresses on the network. A hyperlink is an element of a text image in a document or on an online platform that helps you move to other pages of the site, to certain parts of the document, message, and also to launch third-party applications.

The hyperlink can be recognized by its blue color, which is successfully hidden in the text. However, this familiar type of hyperlink is far from the only one. Let's get acquainted with the types of hyperlinks. By the way, there are 5 of them in total:

• The anchor hyperlink is the one we mentioned earlier. A piece of text with similar formatting, if not for the blue outline, would not be distinguishable from the rest of the text sentences.
• A non-anchor hyperlink is simply a combination of letters that does not express an idea, but is contained in the text. Formatted as a URL.
• Anchor hyperlink – used when moving from one part of a document to another. Most often represented by content on the site.
• External hyperlink – a link to go to a resource outside the document.
• An internal hyperlink is a link for a “journey” within a site or document.

Please note that these species may overlap with each other. An anchor hyperlink is clearly an internal link, as it facilitates movement within the site.

How can you easily insert a link into a VKontakte text to any person, public page or group?

Good day everyone, my dear friends. Dmitry Kostin is with you again and we will get ready to work again. Recently I was asked if I knew how to insert a link into a VKontakte text to make it look more representative and neat. Well, I say that I know. Then he asked to show him how to do it, otherwise he didn’t even know about such a function.

And as it turns out, many people don’t know about this feature, although at times they want to disguise their links to communities, etc.

Unfortunately, this feature does not work for hyperlinks (although it used to exist), that is, for links leading to an external site. Here, excuse me, you will have to see the entire path from start to finish. The only way to disguise yourself in this case is to use a short link service or create a wiki page instead of the usual way. Then your path will not be visible. But I will write about this later.

But thanks to the built-in feature, you can give verbal links to personal pages, public pages, groups and even individual posts. Let's figure out how to make a link to a person using a word on VKontakte.

The whole process occurs thanks to a simple markup formula. Write a template of this type in any of your messages:

[page_id|Link text]

To go to the personal page (personal profile) of any person. That is, you need to write in full the ID that comes immediately after the vk.com address. For example, [id1237908|This is me]. This post will lead directly to my page. And if you replaced your id with a word in the settings, then write it like that, for example [damle|It's me again]. This way you substitute your name for the transition.

There are no other pages, clubs or groups with this ID, so there will never be any matches.

Let me show you some examples so you don't get confused. I think you understand about personal pages, let’s look at an example with publics and groups.

[public105277710|My public VKontakte]

[koskomp|My public VKontakte]

Essentially, these are two identical links that lead to the same public page on VK. The only thing is that in the settings I replaced the numeric ID with an alphabetic one. But as you can see in the examples, the meaning does not change. You will always end up on the same page.

Here absolutely the same thing happens with groups, again we also copy and paste what comes after the vk.com address.

[club88825811|Rope amusement park]

[skytown_msk|Rope amusement park]

Now you know how to insert a link into the VKontakte text so that you can go to any community or to any personal page. Easy, isn't it? And in this form everything really looks much better.

Well, that seems to be all I was going to tell you. I think that this function will be useful to you and you will certainly use it. Well, I recommend that you subscribe to my blog updates to always be aware of all the important events. Good luck to you. Bye bye!

Best regards, Dmitry Kostin.

Hyperlinks and VKontakte: looking for common ground

The social network Vkontakte has long been known for its famous mix. We can’t do without jokes about how VKontakte is just a cocktail of Instagram, TikTok and Telegram. Yes, it’s difficult to fit clips, stories, and a messenger on one platform, and it’s even more difficult to not turn all these functions into a hellish mixture of plagiarism.

But VKontakte cannot exist without its own chips? One of the features of the social network is the ability to use hyperlinks everywhere: from clips and stories to your page and personal messages.

It cannot be said that the use of hyperlinks is some kind of innovation that only reached VK, no, it’s just that other platforms cannot boast of such a range of its use.

On VKontakte you can use a hyperlink in the following cases:

• tagging a user on your own or someone else’s page;
• post in the community;
• message in messenger;
• release of a video on VK;
• publishing a story on the platform;
• tagging an event, announcement, album on the user’s page.

We make a word link to the community

Here everything is done exactly the same, just instead of the page address we enter the community address. For example, I again enter the following entry into the text field on my page:

[compprofi|Computer help] in Nikolaev

I click on the “Send” button. And I get the following result:

As you can see, the phrase “Computer Help” has begun to refer to a specific community.

And let me show you, as an example, how to make a URL for the same community in the form of an emoticon.

How a hyperlink works in VK

First, let’s honestly answer the question: “Why do you need hyperlinks in VK?”

If they were originally invented to tag your friends in posts, share communities, and download materials from third-party resources, now hyperlinks are another advertising weapon that works great in the fight for online promotion.

By clicking on a hyperlink, the reader goes to the specified address without making any effort in the form of searching the page.

There are two ways to create a hyperlink: using parentheses and square brackets. Don't be alarmed, you don't have to learn programming before creating a hyperlink.

It is worth noting that the code is written manually, but for this you will need to know the name of what you are writing about (friend’s first and last name, community, etc.). By the way, there is no difference between round and square brackets. Write whatever suits your needs or the layout of your laptop.

The anchor hyperlink layout looks like this: [id|link text] or (id|link text). Let's explain with a specific example.

Let's say you want to advertise the culinary community "Who's the boss here?" at the end of my post. To hook the reader, you use the phrase “read here.”

If the community identifier is the entry @ktozdesxozyayka, then the anchor hyperlink is formatted as follows: [ktozdesxozyayka|read here]. The same entry can be written using parentheses: (ktozdesxozyayka|read here).

How to make a picture a link on VKontakte

I have already shown you how to make a VKontakte link using a word. Now let's look at a similar example and learn how to make pictures with VKontakte links .

What is it for

This method is used when designing Wiki pages (see how to create a page for a menu in a VK group). They are used to create additional information in public pages and groups (see why transfer a public page to a group).

How to make a picture a link in VK

First of all, we go to the group in which we want to create a new Wiki page and design it (see how to beautifully design a group on VKontakte and make a menu). To do this, use the following link:

https://vk.com/pages?act=edit&oid=-***&p=***

Where, instead of the first three asterisks, we insert the group id (see how to get the VKontakte group id). At the end, we write a title for the page. Example:

https://vk.com/pages?act=edit&oid=-61259589&p=News

Now let's insert a picture here (see how to add a photo to an album in contact), and make sure it is a link to an external site.

Let's switch to Wiki markup mode. To do this, click on the corresponding icon at the top right.

Now we use this code.

[[photo***_***|**x**px|site address]]

After the text “Photo”, you need to insert the photo number. You can find it out while viewing it by copying the text from the address bar of your browser.

In the second block we indicate the size in pixels for our photo. And in the third block, we write the desired link.

Here's an example:

[[photo3667352_331027162|300x400px|vksetup.ru]]

After that, just save the page. It will look something like this.

At the same time, if you click on the picture, you will go to the site you indicated.

For the same purposes, you can use a visual editor. We return to it, and in the toolbar select the “Add photo” item.

Select or upload the desired photo. When it is added to the page, click on it with the mouse cursor. And fill in the required fields in the form that appears. Don’t forget to indicate the address of the desired site in the “Link” field.

When finished, click the "Edit" button.

The resource came from outside: how to make a link to an external source?

In order to share an external site on VK, you will have to insert a non-anchor link. The application controls the use of third-party resources due to the threat of hacking and viruses.

Restricting the use of anchor hyperlinks in communities, comments and messages saves users from cunning scammers who, we must admit, can carry out their plans without an arbitrary anchor.

The service still offers an automatically selected anchor based on the content of the page that the user adds to his wall or simply shares it in a group or dialogue.

You might often come across a case where, when you go to a site that has already been checked in the browser, VK warns about possible fraud and viruses. This happens when a social network cannot find an anchor for a resource, so it does not know whether it is malicious or completely harmless.

Surprisingly, such warnings pop up even when the user posts a link to Instagram.

The anchor of a site is its Title (conditional second heading). Sometimes it matches the name of the site when you search for it in the browser, sometimes these are completely different sentences that are similar in just one or two words. However, this no longer depends on Vkontakte.

Headings are composed by an editor, copywriter, blogger, in general, the one who stands behind the site and its content. By the way, when creating a headline, the platform retrieves the first graphic image if it is attached to the article. An external link will not look boring and gloomy.

In order to leave a hyperlink to a third-party resource, you must adhere to the following algorithm:

1. Start by writing a post. To create a post, find the publishing window in the “My Page” section.
2. After writing down your main idea, click on “Attach”, then “Note”. You will see an icon for the coupling of two rings (chain), and you should click there.
3. Insert the address of a third-party site.
4. Select the text attached to the link and click on “Hyperlink”.
5. Click on "External Hyperlink" and enter the site address.
6. Save the note and publish the post.

How to make a link an emoji

VKontakte has another way to set a hyperlink - linking it to an emoticon . In this case, clicking on the smiley in the message will redirect you to the required page.

This can be done in the same way as described above, only insert a smile . For example: @ID***(emoticon) .

You cannot link to a third-party site using the methods described above , but there is another option.

First of all, you should decide what the hyperlink will be used for. To put it simply, to transmit information, all you need to do is insert the website address into the message and send it. If you need the beauty of the text, then it is advisable to make the hyperlink look beautiful: remove www and http.

Hiding groups and interesting VKontakte pages

It is worth noting that when you insert an external link into a message, a preview of the site , but it can be removed if necessary.

Instagram users tag their friends in photos, VKontakte fans leave hyperlinks on their pages. It is, of course, up to the users themselves to decide which is simpler, more interesting and better. But first, you should find out how to leave a link to a person directly on your wall.

Instructions

First of all, create a post according to the standard scheme for publishing any post on VK (the main one is “What’s new with you?”). Before clicking the final checkmark, be sure to tag the user. The signal for the platform will be the entry of the following icon: “*”.

The system will automatically show the first person in the list of friends, but if the person you need is not among the proposed list, you can find him yourself when you start typing his name, surname or identifier into the search line.

After clicking on the desired person, start entering text using brackets. We talked about the fact that they can be either round or square; the shape does not affect the result. You can write any text inside.

After completing the task, click on the checkbox so that the entry is published and becomes visible to other users of the social network.

By using the VK application from your phone, you make your life easier. In the mobile version, inserting a hyperlink to a person is even easier and faster.

To do this, click on the dog icon in the publication creation window and select the desired user. The hyperlink will be generated based on the name of the mentioned user, you won’t even have to find the parentheses or square brackets icons on your keyboard.

Shortening VKontakte links

Not so long ago, the VKontakte link shortening service became widespread. Thanks to it, you can shorten any website address, no matter how long.

After using the abbreviation, the page address will take a compact form , such as vk.cc/1122dd.

It was created with the aim of protecting users of the social network from spam and phishing sites.

It's quite simple to use:

• Go to the site vk.cc
• In the center of the page, in the field, copy the desired address and press the button "Reduce»

You don't need to do anything else. Below we will get the necessary abbreviation, which can be used in the future.

In addition, for this purpose there is a special extension for the Google Chrome browser, which can be downloaded and installed in the Google store.

How to tag a community: create a hyperlink to the group

There are many special combinations on the social network that allow you to solve problems in an instant that would seem to take many times longer. In order to tag a community you need to know several of these techniques.

The first step always starts as usual: start by creating your note. After writing the text, enter the command “@club”. Now you need to insert the group ID into the field.

Let's return to the culinary community "Who's the boss here?" Yes, today we will do a fair amount of training on it, testing a non-existent group, like a laboratory animal. After specifying the id, you need to write the hyperlink text in brackets.

Considering all the steps taken, we can create a certain hyperlink formula for the community: @clubktozdesxozyayka (read here) . Now, when you click on the phrase “read here,” you will be taken to the “Who’s the boss here?” community.

Why use a hashtag

We already know how to put a hashtag on VKontakte, but what is it used for? As a rule, hashtags are used for quick and easy navigation on a social network; they are also used to promote goods or services.

Often hashtags are used:

• On your personal page (in the “What’s new with you?” field);
• In the group (the “Write a message” column);
• In the public (if you are an administrator).

Search posts by hashtags

You can search for news and posts on relevant topics using hashtags. This is done very simply. First, you need to click on the top menu of the social network “Communities”, then go to the “News” section. You must enter a hashtag in the search column and you will see all posts with that hashtag.

If you are promoting a group using hashtags, then you should not overuse them. The optimal number of hashtags for an entry is 4 hashtags, and it is worth mentioning the name of the city, group and keywords of the entry.

Now you know some secrets of promoting a group, namely, how to put hashtags and links. Read about other ways to promote your brainchild here. And, by the way, don’t worry about providers blocking VK.

Mentions in dialogue: how to make a hyperlink in a VK message?

Sometimes on VKontakte you have to share not only third-party resources, but also posts from this social network. You might think that a repost button was invented for this, but no. Some communities and users limit the reposting of their posts.

Publications must be shared using links. In order to share a post in a message, you need to follow the following procedure:

• Go to the desired dialog and start typing.
• Find the interlocking rings icon, when you hover over it you will see the words “Add link”.
• Paste the link to the post into the field.
• Paste the entry from the box into the message and send it.

How to make an active link on VKontakte

Most users of the VKontakte website have already noticed unusual links in various posts and comments. The site allows you to publish links of different types for different pages. So how to make an active VKontakte link? What types are they? Now we will answer your questions.

The easiest way to create such a VKontakte link is to simply duplicate it into a test line. And if you insert such a link into the comment field, the system creates a thumbnail of this page with a description, and your unique link leads to it. If you enter a link in the signature under a photo, video, or note, it will become active and all users can follow this link.

There is also a record of external links.

This method is not very different from the previous method of recording internal links. Let's take a closer look at external links. As we already said, you can simply place the link in the text, or give it a more neat look.

The link must be replaced with a word or a ready-made phrase. It's not difficult at all and doesn't take long. You just need to give it a certain shape: for example, [https://vk.com/|Best website in the world]. It should be noted that the entry is created in square brackets. And inside, before the dash, they write a link, and after the dash, the phrase that you want to see in place of the link.

Replacing a link with an image.

The link can also be replaced with a picture. On VKontakte, each image has the following name form: photos-*****_*****, where * are numbers. You can get it by right-clicking on the image, through the menu: “copy link to image”. Here is a form for recording links through pictures: [[photos-*****_*****|50px|https://elhow.ru/]]. 50 is the image size.

You can specify any value that is sure to suit your conditions.
