Link Machine Review
I have used a lot of link management software programs and nothing comes close to the Link Machine.
So, what is so great about this Link Management Software?
Well, the list of features is actually massive, but what I like is that
the software was designed using good link management practices. e.g. you
can quickly see not only the PR of the potential link partner, but also
the PR of the link page where they have placed your link. There is Alexa
data in there too. You can run a report to list all partners who have
a PR 0.
With penalties being issued by Google, you need to be very careful who
you link to. Linking to a penalised site will possibly get you penalised
too. This PR 0 report can help identify problem links, and then remove
them with one click.
Another cool feature is the search engine optimization tools. It can check the top ten listings for your keyword and give you a detailed analysis of why they are in the top ten and what you need to change in your own site to be in the top ten too. It also has a Rank Tracker to let you know what position your site is in on the search engines.
Another fabulous feature is that Link Machine can check all of your link
partners to make sure they still link back to you. If they don't, you
can easily send them an email, or more simply remove them.
Adding new partners is easy since you have a variety of tools to help
you find partners, some unique to this software. It can completely automate the difficult task of link exchanges. When link requests come in, you can quickly check their site, their links page, their PR etc etc, and accept of reject. This script is phenomenal.
Setting up Link Machine is so easy.
1. Create a folder on your server to hold the Link Machine scripts, and
upload the install.php file:
2. Open the install.php file in your browser:
Linkmachine will install on your server, and then ask you
to either create a new account, or login if you already have one:
I login using the email address that was used to create
my account initially.
Congratulations, Link Machine has been installed:
It is then up to me to edit the template to be used, which
is as simple as taking any webpage on my site, removing the content of
that page, and inserting the following placeholder which tells LinkMachine
where to insert the content:
Under Settings:
I can change the Link Categories, Upload my new template (in the Link
Page Format section), plus a whole lot more.
A few quick entries in the site settings screen tell Link Machine where
to generate my links page to, and what to call it.
You can see a finished Links Machine Directory at the Business Directory.
I highly recommend the Linkmachine.
