LinkEX

I started checking backlinks, I stopped after 4. Two of the sites I just auto-added a day or so ago were bad, I go to
the site and there's nothing there so the program is right. Could I have hit a "cheater" that fast? I just
added it so how did it verify when I auto-added it?

Two more sites had the link right where it should be, but the program suspended them anyway and says "missing
backlink". I checked the html source of the sites looking for "nofollow" or something and everything is
OK.

My settings are default and this is the latest version, I just got it working.

If I was automatically checking the links I would have probably suspended everyone.

If I have to check each one of these manually it's going to be a lot of time so I'm waiting to see if it's something I'm
doing or the program has a bug..

On a side issue, it would be nice to have a different looking icon on the "page=admin" page for the
"Status" when I select "immune" or "suspended" so I can tell, like the sites I checked, I
set them to immune for now but can't tell that on the list. There should also be a mouseover for the status icons
(doesn't have to be javascript, I think "alt" works).

More info, I don't know if your forum is going to like this so I may have to post twice or maybe you can look at the
source of this post if it screws up the html stuff.

"Validate anchor" is NOT checked in my settings.

One of the sites that has my link but doesn't verify, the source looks like this on his list.

<li><a href="http://www.whatever.nl" title="whatever words">whatever
words</a>&nbsp;description text here&nbsp;</li>

Each one of those is on it's own line. I don't know if the "li" is screwing with your check but I looked at
your "function getLinks()" and it looks pretty liberal, but I can't say I understood exactly what all that
stuff was doing.

If I try to autoadd that site again, I just get "[ linkex ] [ ]" WTF is "[ ]" ??? Does that
mean good ? or what?

Another detail, the link list is on a inside page, he is at "whatever.nl" but my links are on a page at
"whatever.nl/link-list/" and that's how his "Linking info" shows on those settings.

Maybe it's only looking on the main page? I don't have that checked in my settings "Index exchange only".

BTW: Man, that's a lot of code you wrote there, it must be a nightmare to maintain.

I just checked the other site that was having problems and it is exactly the same thing, when I try to autoadd again it
does the same thing, and the URL is listed the same way except this site doesn't have the "li" part, it's a
basic normal default linkex list and on it's main page (but in a scroll box).

WTF is going on?

It's not clear what URL is supposed to be in the URL field when you autoadd, I was putting in my link page like
"domain.com/linklist.php" when I autoadded and now they are all listing that as my main link, the link people
are supposed to click on (but I want "domain.com"), maybe that's what's wrong? Would you please make that
field more clear? Why is it there when my settings are all set correctly the way I want?

I tried autoadding it both ways with this last site but it just says "[ ]" so I assume it already sees me on
the list and rejects any new additions.

I will try with a new linkex site and see if maybe it was just me being stupid.

OK I found something out, I added my "domain.com/linklist.php" to the "Alternative backlinks" and
now both of those sites verify.

BUT.... There's no place to put a "Reciprocal link URL" in the settings!!! Why not?

When people add to my site using the form at my site or by autoadd, how do they (or linkex) know to go to the
"domain.com/linklist.php" page to look for their link????

When I autoadd the other site should be SHOWING my link "domain.com" and NOT
"domain.com/linklist.php"!!

I just tried to audoadd to a new site with just "domain.com" in the "URL" box and it didn't go, but
if I enter "domain.com/linklist.php" into the autoadd "URL" box it goes OK but the site lists my
site as "domain.com/linklist.php"!! That's not what I want.

What am I doing wrong? Can you please make it more clear?

OK I figured it out, the FIX for this is here:
http://linkex.dk/forums/t2679-autoadd-recip-link-problems-the-fix-is-here.html

Basically it's......

In the file "index.php", in function linkex on line 2295 change this:
'lurl' => $link, into this: 'lurl' => $config->url,

Now it will send your main link for people to click on, but the reciprocal
link will be used to check where the links are on your site (or maybe a
different site, depending on if you are doing 3rd party or not).
