Just checking if Linkman is SEO friendly, as I was using google web tools to check my site
and it didn't pick up anything in the links folder where linkman is living,
all the info is in the linksinfo.txt file and is showing up OK in all browsers.
its an issue for me as I need the links seen by search engines.

Can anyone confirm yes or no

Many thanks

Search engines have no problems picking up linkman links page.

Note that search engines won't be looking at the "linkinfo.txt" file - this is just the database file with all the details. Search engines will have access to your links page.

Just make sure you place a link to links.php somewhere on your website.

Hi Kleman

After checking & checking again and using w3.org checklink still no joy :?
so change some files back to original (sometimes it works as I've been messing about :oops: )
still nothing, back to basics logged in and see I've played with the

Normal links or redirects: settings :cry:

To everyone out there "DON'T TOUCH THIS" unless you know what you are doing.
it masks the links with:

http://yourdomain.com/linkman/go.php?ur ... nkyard.com

and confuses robots crawlers etc.
but I'm sure its go for some thing :)

I find that SEO friendly can be determend by how you have your meta tags set. These are some I am using and work well for me. I place this script in my header.txt before the line: <style type="text/css">

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title> YOUR TITLE </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css;">
<meta name="Author" content="YOUR INFORMATION">
<meta name="Keywords" content="Links, Links Directory, Reciprocal Links, Links Management">
<meta name="Description" content="YOUR DESCRPTION">
<meta name="rating" CONTENT="General">
<meta name="revisit-after" CONTENT="31 days">
<meta name="distribution" CONTENT="Global">
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> <! --This is requiered by Screenshots to prevent cached action. You can also try: <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> -->
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">

In the end this works for me.
