Keeping track of bought and free links

I will like to share the way I keep track of my bought and free links, and discuss a little how you guys do it, to see if I am doing it the best way

I register all the links on a Excel file with the following fields:

URL (url the link is on)
PR of the Page
PR of the Site
Owner Contact (DP nick, e-mail, paypal address)
Data Submitted
Data Active
Normal Price
Price Paid (if you get any discount)
Type of link (PR – Permanent Regular; 1F – 1 year Featured; 1S – 1 year sitewide, 1H – 1 year homepage etc..)
URL the link points to
Anchor text
Description (More on directory submissions)

Any comments
Cheers

 

It really becomes a pain in the ass to check all these links...especially when the number really gets up up. I really didn't want to, but I eventually sprung and purchased Advanced Link Manager (advancedlinkmanager.com) to help me keep track of them all. I run reports every once in a while and can compare links against other days to see what changed. I think the standard version goes for like $50 and they do have a trial for 30 days. Check it out.

 

I downloaded the free trail (advancedlinkmanager.com) i have no idea how do u upload say 300 sites that are supposed to have links to your site and check if really do?

 

I was just wondering if there were programs for this .....

Thanks I will have to check out that advanced link manager...

Anyone else have good software reviews ?

 

Do you have a list of these sites? If you run the project, it will gather links from the search engine and report the pr, anchor, alexa, and # links you have on that page. If it's a reciprocal link, you can just import you link page and it can look though those. You can also manually add links into the project and just assign them as either "Paid", "Link Exchange", or whatever you choose.

 

Hmm i think MystikMedia has something similar.. havent looked at it properly though.. it should be on his main url.

edit: here it is http://www.mystikmedia.com/link-checkup.asp not sure if its what your looking for..

 

Oh wow - Great Call!

 

ah cool, wasnt sure if thats what you were after

 

Exactly what I was looking for !

REPP coming your way

 

well guys, why dont u create your own php files to keep it? save it to the database and then u can do all kind of query via sql, no?

 

If we were all database and php guru's that would be great,

Granted , I know php and sql, but just don't have the time , and $19.99 is instant software

 

Haha yeah, off the shelf software a lifesaver
