Additional Information:

Simply send Link Automate’s fully customizable Link Exchange Request Submission Form to anyone requesting a link on your site. When the form is submitted, Automate Link Exchange checks:

• the validity of that site’s email address

• whether or not that site already has a link to yours

• whether it’s a duplicate submission

• link popularity

• relevance of content

• and over 70 other crucial validation criteria

Automate Link Exchange will automatically screen your potential link exchange partners for you, ensuring you only link to sites that can increase your traffic, improve your page rank, and enhance your web reputation.

Best of all, the link pages Link Automate generates for you can be, if you choose, fully searchable. You can customize the look and feel of the pages, including the meta tags, titles, and meta descriptions.  And for optimal search engine visibility you can now choose to name your link pages whatever you like. All link pages are static, search engine friendly HTML pages.

The software has 2 automated modes:

• Full: checks and approves submissions for you, generates and updates link pages, and conducts link checks according to preset rules on a user-specified schedule

• Semi: allows you to manually manage many of processes yourself, oversee approval and rejection of link exchange requests

Reciprocal link checking and dead link checking ensures your link directories stay current with only those sites honoring their agreement with you. The software also allows you to control the text other sites use to describe your site.

Color-coded status flags indicate in an easy-to-read format which sites are Approved, which are under Review, which are Old or imported from existing link pages, and which are Offsite. You can import existing links into your pages or a worksheet, and you can sort your personal directory by title, assigned rating, or date of submission.

To use Link Automate you’ll need PHP 4.1 and MySQL 3.23 or above. You’ll also need either Unix/Linux or Windows web server hosting.

At the time of this writing, there seemed to be about 300+ sites in the Link Automate directory. There were 16 categories plus a rather bulky “Other” category. And Automate Link Exchange offers multi-language support, so your administration panel can operate in your native tongue. How convenient is that? 

They offer a series of articles on the site and an opt-in email newsletter filled with current useful promotional tips.

A free trial download of the Automate Link Exchange software (“around” 14 days – whatever that means) is available on the site.

An Automate Link Exchange license is good for 1 site only and costs $120 USD. Discounts can be arranged by request for licenses for 3 websites or more. For an additional $50, they also offer a Basic customization service that gives your links page the same look and feel as your site.
