Thanks for creating a nice link manager script. The only feature missing is the ability to create categories to organize the links. I would like to build up a good amount of links but do not want to have too many links on one page. Some link exchangers even require there not be too many links on one page. This also helps with relevancy.

The other request is that I would like to change the name of the links.php file. There is some evidence that Google devalues pages named "links". Or if the index.php file was the links page instead of the admin so I would only need to change the directory name.

hi matt

i think i understand what you are after-
heres a workround or two which i stumbled upon by accident:
example:
http://www.artengland.co.uk/resources1/
as you can see ive named this one "index". What this one is doing is simply reading a remote database. ( i have half a dozen sites link pages all using one linkman database)

regarding google PR/SERPS some sites using this database have quickly gotten a PR on the links page, whilst others have not. I think the header/footer content plays as important a part as the file name.

heres an identical one, only weeks old, also with a google PR. http://www.stedman-art.co.uk/linkmaster/ Its worth noting that the file for this page is "index" - the whole thing reads from a linkman installation with the index.php (admin panel page) removed, so that URLs are submitted to the "remote" site. However this can be in another folder (eg linkman2 or whatever) on the same site.

I suspect the PR is only due to the one click from a PR3 home page, though.

Im not sure PR is all its cracked up to be, these PRs seem to vary day by day

Note that you can read from a remote file, but not write to one.

Doing it this way (reading a remote flat file/txt file) you can name a links page file whatever you like. Likewise its meta title, description etc. in the header (header.txt)

Maybe this is some help?

ps. any clues on how to randomise the order of links? (see my other post)
