Hi, when you have many link trades, regular, abc and whatever, what do you use to check if nobody removed your link, page not expired etc?
Here is a simple php script that Shawn Hogan wipped up in another thread you have to create a text document calle sites.txt which contains the sites you wish to check, only one site per line (complete url: http://www.site.com) <?php $mydomain = "www.domain.com"; // Set this to your domain $list = file_get_contents("sites.txt"); $urls = explode ("\n", $list); ini_set (default_socket_timeout, "5"); echo "<B>Checking back links to $mydomain....</B><P><FONT SIZE=-1>"; foreach ($urls as $url) { if (strlen ($url) && $url{0} != "#") { echo $url . "<B><FONT COLOR="; if (strpos (file_get_contents($url), $mydomain) != FALSE) { echo "GREEN> Found"; } else { echo "RED> Missing"; } echo "</FONT></B><BR>"; } } echo "</FONT>"; ?> Code (markup):
Surfwebtips does the job! They automatically check that nobody have removed your link. It's a remotely hosted service. You need to know the page where your partner link to you. Add that url to your account. Surfwebtips visit this page once a week, looking for a link to your site. You are emailed a link status report every week.
I dont care if it belongs to him or not if its a good stuff. I will try it out, since i dont like dealing with scripts too much
Take a look at here and download "Link Check up" to check your reciprocal link. However, I used it myself and found 70% of not found links is false positive. (said "your link has been removed" but when check it manually I found it)
I like QuidProQuo, it will try to spider the link-partner's site to find your link if it does not find the linkback in the search engines first. It can be much improved, but it does its job.
The script for the directory is eSyndiCat, it is very similar to phpld that you have. You just need to mod the template designs to differentiate yourself from others.
Thats a good idea. It seems like the one you have might be a little easier to modify and more user friendly. the phpld I have is nice with a lot of unctions but hard to develop if you dont know php very well. Thanks again
