We are planning to start new bidding directory. Need advise about script. Which script is best? http://www.linkbidscript.com/ or http://www.phplinkbid.com/ ? Any other script? Please also mention the logic in favor of your answer.
phpLB it is the most popular at the moment but LBS have the advantage of being free comes with free installation if needed and the guys there develop the things pretty fast. Personally I use both of the scripts on different directories and I can say that both of them are excellent pieces of work. I would go for LBS just to give credit to the newcomers
Thanks all of your posting here. It seems phplinkbid is most popular. Please mention here about the reason of best. Why phplinkbid script is best?
I think my next project will be a Link Bid Script... I've been wanting to develop something else in php
Phplb is the best and professional one i am using it on my site as well www.biddingdirectory.us . So i recommend you to go with phplb . THanks
Yes its good and very profession but on the other hand linkbid script do the same work for free ! i want to know why choose phpLD which cost 25$ if we get same thing for free?
Well I've only used phplb, I think these features for v.1.4, which is due out in the next week or two are looking really good: FEATURES -------- * Unlimited category levels & new category settings * Deep links + unlock by bid + 1.2 deep links MOD converter * Outbid notifications w/ opt-out (configurable by leader outbids + page outbids) * Email manager - mass email, email individual users, log emails * Link expirations + expiration notices * Link approval by admin * Non-whole dollar amounts for bids * Configurable link description lengths + JavaScript character count * Custom language files - edit all public text * Custom link detail page URLs * Latest Links * Linkroll manager BUGS & SCRIPT IMPROVEMENTS -------------------------- * Invalid argument error and empty category select box in buy.php * Automatically add required trailing slash to site URL in config * IPN fixes * Title & description validation improvements * Improved link management interface w/ link status * Return URL fixes * Minimum bid/bid-up fix * path_base for GoDaddy fix * mod_rewrite for broken REQUEST_URI fix * CMS addslashes error (not updating pages w/ quotes) * Category link counts counting unpaid links
Go for phplinkbid there are alot of phplinkbid templates available too i personally own 3 copies of phplb
I use phpLB. Lbs looks promising...I see that it's free, so what's the catch..footer links? I hope to upgrade to phpLB v.1.4 but have a totally customized template. Hopefully it won't give me too big of a headache.
I am using three differnt scripts. PHPLB, PHP LD Bid verison, LBS PHPLB: 1) good - but you pay and keep the back link to the scipt. Most tempates need two back links. 2) PHPLD Bid verion: Nice product, but lack of tempates.. 3) Free + Lost of tempates need only one back link. -- They are going to make it a good script in the next few releases. Find the list here - (2 + 2 + 7) Ranking King - Bidding Directory Mr Linking - Bid Directory Big Bidding Bid For Level Bidding King Bid For Rank Offer For Position Bidding Leader Big Net Link Big Net Links Sharp Directory - Bid for Position
Between phpLD bid script and phpLB, I will go for phpLB as the latter was made for a bidding link directory. I have not tried LBS yet but it sounds good too.
