How do I use Link Page Manager.com?
First, sign up for an account, then there are two things you must do:
1. You must have a link page hosted on your server and you need to edit the page to insert the links from our database. There are two ways to do this.
The easiest way is to download a php script from here, called linkdisplay.txt edit the third line (instructions are in the file) rename it to linkdisplay.php and upload it to where your link page is stored and insert a line into your page to run that script:
For a php page you should insert include 'linkdisplay.php';
For a plain .html file you can insert:
<!--#include virtual="linkdisplay.php"-->
into your link page where you want the links to be displayed.
This requires the use of SSI, server side includes. If your link page has an extension of .htm or .html this probably won't work, so you'll need to create a .htaccess to enable SSI for those files.
Simply create a text file called .htaccess (Windows users won't be able to make a file with this name, so call it htaccess.txt for the moment) edit this file and insert the following lines into it:
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .htm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
On the second line change .htm to the extension your link page uses.
Upload this file to the directory where your link page is stored (Windows users rename this to .htaccess) and your links should now show up.
Or you can download htaccess.txt and upload it to your site and rename it to .htaccess
Another method is to use iframes and with this method you have a choice, you can use the iframe to open our site directly:
http://www.linkpagemanager.com/lpmdisplay.php?site=yourlogin
This method will make your visitors think they're still on your site, but search engines like Google will know the links are coming from us.
Or you can use it to open linkdisplay.php as mentioned in the first method and this will fool search engines into thinking those links are coming from your site and you will get an increased page rank from people linking to you.
2. Now that you have the links from our database displayed on your site, you need to let your visitors add their links to your site.
To do this just place a link on your link page that points to:
http://www.linkpagemanager.com/addlink.php?site=yourlogin
The link text may be whatever you want.
For example:
Click <a href="http://www.linkpagemanager.com/addlink.php?site=yourlogin">here</a> to add your link.
What are the benefits of using Link Page Manager.com over other link exchange websites?
There are three main benefits of using our site:
1. We don't require the people who want to trade links with you to also sign up to our website. If that was a requirement you would have noticably less link exchanges.
2. We perform daily reciprocal link checks. If your link partner's site has gone down, or if they remove your link, their link will not be visible on your page either until their site is back up, or they add your link back.
3. Your visitors and more importantly search engines will have absolutely no idea that the links on your page are stored on another server, it will look just like the rest of your site.
But how will my page actually look?
It will look like a normal part of your site, check out the examples on this page.
Someone just added their link, but my link is not on their site and I'm still showing theirs.
Link checks are performed at midnight, their link will be disabled at that time, unless your link is placed on their site before then.
Someone has finally added my link to their page, but their link is still disabled
As above, their link will be checked at midnight and then set to active.
