Hi Paul,
i have a few feature request for your great WSN links script:
Link validation from 3rd party sites or one way link partners
In other words, if a link partner is providing you a link from a good quality site and your linking to his/her 3rd party site of choice, will the software easily manage and validate a 3way link exchange? More excact: is it posible to add more then 1 url that
counts as a valid linkback. Now the url I fill in admin> site details> urls .
If a link partner is offering a PR5 or higher link to your site and is asking you to link to another do you turn him down? Definitely not; if the site is of good quality you do not pass up those opportunities. How do you validate link partners if you have multiple sites with link partners that are not actually linking back to that same site, but linking to your main site or multiple favorite sites? Confusing, of course it is. The name of this linking game is to acquire as many link as possible and who cares if that link is coming from a 3 rd party site! Today's link management software it's very difficult to manage 3rd party link exchanges.
More easy email management between link partners: Flag link partners whom you've solicited for links.
Simplified email management to communicate with those link partners that may have misplaced or moved your link is essential to managing any link campaign.
I tell you nothing's more annoying then having to sift through a list of validated links and trying to figure out if the dead reciprocal links are newly solicited or actually dead links that need to be addressed ASAP.
Solicited links need to sit in your links directory for at least a week or two, if you start deleting them prematurely before a webmaster has time to view your link exchange proposal then you've just wasted good research and time locating that link partner.
i think this is adressed already but:
validation links: look for unethical webmasters whom are hiding your links from being indexed from a search engine.
Some webmasters and link managers will intentionally hide their links pages from being indexed, thus not providing a fair trade. Your linking to them and they appear to be linking to you, but in actuality they are not since their pages will never get indexed by a search engine spider.
What about flagging page rank changes? If your link partner had your link on a good high quality links page and all of a sudden during the last search engine update their links pages turned to nothing, that should raise an alarming flag.
Does the software allow you to flag the partner as having a low Google Page Rank so you can investigate in the future if you need to delete them?
You can't catch all the crooks, but at least you can make note about some link partners that have a low directory page rank when their home page is triple in rank. This usually is a red flag for me and I always try to check up within the next major Search Engine updates to see if the pages are still stagnant or has improved. Personally I view stagnant pages that don't improve over a two month period as 'FISHY' and will delete them no questions asked. You can check a links page and it may be valid but how do you know that this links partner hasn't deleted all html links to his directory within his site? Not without spending hours researching someone's else's site and who has the time!
Add comments to each link partner if necessary?
What if a link partner is spamming your directory with parked domains that are named differently but are actually the exact same site? These link partners will try to acquire multiple links from your site and return the exact same link back to you from their site. If you can make note of these link partners then you will be ahead of the game.
