Hi, i have some number of Wordpress blogs where people can publish articles for free. The issue is that tons of articles coming into database daily. And blog has no backlinks. I need Pagerank. I need somehow to let users to backlink to me in return. Is there any plugin? Ay idea how to force/let Authors to backlink the articles/site? How you are doing this?
You are going about this all wrong. If you have an Article site, I am assuming you are allowing those same articles to be republished? If that is the case, then embed your links inside of the article and make those links a requirement to keep as part of your terms of usage. If you are bent on making the authors link back to you, well, good luck with that. You are offering a free link spamming repository and they are not likely to do that. You can curb that trend by placing heavier editorial and quality control over the articles to weed out the spammers. Also, place the nofollow attribute or javascript the outbound links so they cannot be seen and only release that restriction, if they link back to you (maybe as some type of promotional badge they can display on their site).
Thank you, this all needs manual work and coding and i wont do this, i would like to know about any Wordpress plugin. I have simple Wordpress with LinkDirectory plugin: http://postonlinearticles.com/
Sorry. Don't know of anything. Actually, I don't feel like searching for you. If you want something automated, cheap, free, you are on your own. I can't in all honesty help you out with that. If you want to build something useful and will add value to the web, then that would be another story of course. Article sites, especially the type of site you want to create, offer no real value and not worth my time.
I think the advice Dodger gave you on the issue in the first place is sound. It doesn't get any easier than this. If you are looking for a plug in that "forces" authors to give a backlink, it doesn't exist.
