For those of you selling links for multiple sites, different time periods, etc, how do you keep track of everything? Excel spreadsheets? Special software?
Just put <!-- Expires: Date --> if youre going to look at your code once in a while. You could also just use word or excel like you said.
Thats fine for a few sites, but many of us have 100's of pages we can sell links on. Does anyone use any software for selling/tracking link sales and exchanges for many sites?
simple txt file is doing it for me. ServerUnion, I believe there's no software that could do that with hardcoded links.
If anyone using a spreadsheet could post a template, I'd like to see how you set it up and what data you list (link, page it's on, price, expiration, etc) Thanks
I list all of that information on an Excel spreadsheet I show the actual link, location, expiration date, and amount paid. I probably will include a column showing the email address so that I can hunt people down to renew.
I use google calender, I do one entry with all the details, then one entry on the expiration date, with a link back to the details.
I use an excel spreadsheet, but I only have a few links to manage. If you think about it, though, isn't all adbrite/adsense/bidvertiser is a link managing program? I could easily create a pretty simple links system to use. Have a category for each site, give it the CSS code to use, then publish. In fact, that seems like a really good idea and I think I might do it, lol.
would anyone be interested in a php solution? paid of course... if there is demand I might try to figure one out
Excel is pretty good to use and easy to track based on date. I don't really think there is a need for any software.
I think I'll play around with Excel and try a few different layouts, and I might try Access too. Probably not necessary, but it could help later on for analysis and allow some cool "soon to expire" link alerts and such.
I used my outlook. Calendar for reminders, and task list for the details about the link, purchaser and amount.
I was using IBP and add expiration date and other details as notes. But i guess it will not be enough when my links to manage are too much..
I am using access tables to track Created a table for Exchange, two way, 3 way and link buy and sinks sold. So far so good. Thanks
