Hello,
I'm new here and this is my first post.
From what I can tell of WSN Links so far, it's POWERFUL!!!
Maybe too powerful for my needs; like cracking a walnut with a sledge hammer.
I'm trying to use WSN Links as
a reciprocal link manager.
So for example, I don't need the full blown membership system. I don't need PM's or IM's. I don't need advance searches that include search by member. I don't need registration that asks for default style, AIM, ICQ, etc. I don't really need members to be able to create private subscription lists. I'm sure there is more.
But obviously I do need a subset of the membership. I can't just disable it in Switches. I need people to be able to submit a Site Name, URL, description, reciprocal link, etc.
Further I love how WSN Link is one of the only affordable scripts that has auto reciprocal link checking to make sure partners continue linking to me; it has payment systems incorporated in it to allow partners to pay for featured placement; it can create RSS feeds by category; and it allow me as the admin to override many things, such as give some a free Featured Listing or not require a reciprocal link.
My question, can someone (perhaps who has used WSN Links as just a reciprocal link manager) give me pointers on which switches to set and which modifications will need to be made?
I know that WSN Links can be a POWERFUL reciprocal manager and that's what I need. A powerful reciprocal link manager, nothing more, nothing less.
And now a features question:
For the sake of argument, let's say I have the domain www.example.com and my directory lives at www.example.com/directory.
I have a network of sites, sports.example.com, travel.example.com, and business.example.com. And for ease of maintenance, I decide as I said to host my network's directory at www.example.com/directory rather than maintain a separate niche directory for each subdomain.
Within the directory I have the categories sports, travel, and business.
I'd like to have a way that when someone submits a link under the sports category, they're required to link back to sports.example.com; a submission under business requires a link back to business.example.com; and so on.
In short, can WSN Links handle different reciprocal links by category?
Thank you in advance. |
