Reciprocal Links To Category Where Site Is Listed

[Brad]

I read about this idea on DigitalPoint... (credit: The Whimpering Warrior! (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=19030))

The idea is to make the reciprocal links to be to the actual category.

This benefits both your directory and the users, providing an incentive for users to place a reciprocal link on your website.

It does two things:
- Increases your PR directory pages PR
- Increases your visitors PR by associating with your website

I think this could be done easily with JavaScript... Have the form elements interact with eachother to update the link URL displayed.

Anyone fluent enough in Javascript to take on this task? Note: modifications will be needed for both SEO friendly URLs and non-friendly.

Maybe I don't get what you are wanting. Show a category tht lists only recips?!? Sorta like on my kartkorner website but instead of on a page in a cat?

That is not what I mean.

I mean that when the reciprocal link is generated (on the submit page), it links to the category which the users forum is listed. This way, the user doesn't link to your directory, but rather a category in your directory. Then, the category's PR will inflate. (The reciprocal link benefits both parties rather than just one as both PRs will evidently inflate)

I gotcha. i don't think it would take anything more then just slihly modifying your submit.tpl to capture the url on the fly to be used for the recip listing. Then have it validate against the dynamically created url as per the category. Then you have two links that link back to each other rather then to homepages...

Is anyone able to do this mod?

I realized that after doing my last script. It takes a bit of finess of the actual php script and then calling upon it in the tpl file as a tpl defined variable.
