My site has 2 types of membership. FREE,(manual link exchange) and the Advanced membership. You can have the Advanced membership right now FREE for the rest of your life on planet earth There are about 700 sites registered now, and I want to get 2000 advanced memberships before switching to a paid membership. Why? Because I want happy people exchanging links with one click who see the value in the site, and want to help grow this thing exponentially... It is so much easier to exchange links with the advanced membership than the free membership. This is because you don't have to manually copy and paste linking code, upload files, or email people as you do with the regular FREE membership. You're linking code is stored on the system, and when you request a link exchange with another website under the advanced membership, LE automatically updates your html links pages with the other site's linking code. I know it's hard to believe... just think of how many hours you'll save exchanging links by not having to do all the tedious work! But wait there's more....Once your links are up, the system automatically emails the other site other, and you just sit back and wait for the member to login and check their link requests. They either accept or reject the request. The back link checker tool is available for all your links, and you just click a button and it goes out and checks all your links. You can hide or delete links in your directory which no longer have a reciprocal link back to your site. It does require that your server have php, 1 mysql database for all your links and categories, and they must allow remote access to your mysql database. If your server uses the cPanel interface, then you're good to go. Other server software may still allow remote access to your database, and you'll have to check on this if you want the advanced membership. Normally this is accomplished by enabling our IP address on your end. If your webhosting plan doesn't have php, 1 database and permit remote access, then you'll have to join under the FREE membership and exchange links manually. The advanced membership comes with easy step by step instructions to get you up and running. The preferred way to get setup is to just let support take care of it for you. (It's a little bit tricky...but you can try following the instructions yourself if you really want to) There are support testimonials on the support site and support is quick. After you go to the site, click on the "Learn More" link. There are some sample link directories so you can see what the advanced membership does. As you'll see, it integrates a link directory with the rest of your site design seamlessly. Pretty cool huh? You just create the categories for your directory. You will get link requests from other members in the site, and also from the fill in form which you'll have on your site. Anyone browsing your website can enter their information to request a link there. If you want to MERGE all your existing links into LE, then please fill out a support ticket at the support site. For more info, watch the two movies through the "Learn More" link. If you want the Lifetime free upgrade, I need a support ticket and a rep on here would be very cool. ;> Scot
