Has anyone developed or modified Links Manager to have straight HTML return links versus the ../redirect.php?url=... ?

This would make it much easier for link trades since the redirected link offers very little back to those trading with you regarding the search engines. Being an SEO, this is very important to both me and my clients. It would also seem to be very important (although maybe not known?) to others as well.

Hello Michael,

This is actually already included in LinkMan. Just make sure you have

$settings['clean']=1;

in your settings.php file.

$settings['clean']=1; is for "clean" URLs (http://www.google.com)
$settings['clean']=0; is for redirects (go.php?url=http://www.google.com)

It it set to clean/straight URLs by default.

I know a thing or two about SEO as well, that's why I require the Powered by statement to remain visible and unmodified (unless a license is purchased)

Regards
