Exchanging Links for Thrid Party Websites

[beaddirectory]

Does Indexu supports exchanging links for other website?

In broad; I have installed Indexu in beaddirection.com and when people ask for a listing in my beaddirection.com can I ask them a link back to my another website at beadbead.com (not to beaddirection.com). And can this process be made automated such as verifying reciprocal links in my customer's website?

A reply will be appreciated. Specially by Dody.

Currently I dont believe it can be done with the current script but maybe you could make a mod for it....

Or maybe find a way to intergate a full reciprocal link script into your site...

Where can I find mod for it? I don't know php. I would appreciate a help.

You would have to come up with a way of doing it, there currently isnt a mod for this.... so if you cant intergate another script yourself or make up the code, then you might have to get a coder to help ya....

Off topic, whats the purpose of getting the links to the other site? is that the main one, surely it will have a impact on SEO...

Is it reciprocal link? You can force the submitter to add reciprocal link to your website before they submit a link. You can set it in admin panel > Option > Setup > Reciprocal Check

Thanks for the reply Ezykiwi & Dody.

Yes, I will force the submitter to add a reciprocal link to my website first but it will not be the website where I have installed indexu, it will be one of my "other" website and I want to confirm automatically if they have added a reciprocal link to my other website. Is that possible, Dody. Can you help me out.

I damn need it, its my first criteria before I make purchase. And yes it will bring a great impact to my website in terms of SEO as my "other" website will get one way links and I will also provide one way link to submitter's website. And in this way search engines could not determine as link exchange coz these days exchanging links isn't making a difference rather than a one way link. So this feature is a worth while in adding to Indexu.

And I would also want Sitemap for Yahoo and for Viewers to be added to Indexu in coming years. Just a suggestion.

I would be interested in knowing how many people would like this feature (well more who would use a directory script in this manner)

Im wondering how many users are trying to get 1 way traffic to one site, thru another... and how many users are happy just trying to get traffic to 1 main site...

I see. The solution is hacking the code to check the repicprocal link to certain url. It should be very easy by modifying /lib/misc.lib.php

  function IsValidReciprocalURL($url, $reciprocal_url) {
    global $site_url;
    $site_url2 = "http://www.your-other-domain.com";
    $p_url = parse_url($url);
    $p_reciprocal_url = parse_url($reciprocal_url);
    if ($p_url['host'] != $p_reciprocal_url['host']) {
      return FALSE;
    }
    $content = HttpRequest($reciprocal_url);
    if (!ereg($site_url2, $content['html'])):
      return FALSE;
    endif;
    return TRUE;
  }

We'd be happy to assist you if you have any problems.
