[PR Enhancement] Mod

[VSDan]

It seems to to me that one means to enhance your PR is to post the Reciprocal Link URL of listed sites; ensures that Google will find your link on sites that are listed in your directory. Backlinks figure highly in the calculation of PR. What I have done is to add the following to link.tpl, to accompany each listing:

{if $link.RECPR_URL}
"{$link.RECPR_URL}"]Linkback
{/if}

Precaution so that Google will find your link on sites linked to in your directory in case the Google robot misses them for whatever reason when spidering the sites.

What will this do if there is no reciprocal link?

Also, where exactly will this get placed in the file?

[VSDan]

1. The conditional will only display link if a reciprocal link exists in the database.

2. You can insert the code anywhere. Wherever you want the linkback HTML to display.

Thanks!

Nice method, but I have tested this code every on line, could you emphasize a bit more on the code and where an accurate line would be to place this?

I get smarty.class errors when placing it anywhere on the tpl file.

Thanks

use this code:

{if $link.RECPR_URL}
<a class="linkback" href="{$link.RECPR_URL}">Linkback</a> {/if}

in your link.tpl after the [read more] link
or pretty much anywhere

[Steven Myers]

Thanks Bobby!

This is tempting me to remove the Free Links and add the Reciprocal. *ponders*

EDIT: Ok, We took off the Free Links and added Backlinks for $3.99 plus added bobby's cool script there.

how is fastline doing?
its a bummer you only have 47 links :(
i really like the name
sorry, but i am not a big fan of non-custom templates though
any good luck

[Steven Myers]

No worries bobby, we're new and only 6 of those are Free Links, rest are paid and featured. We're going to look into a custom template by a professional web designing company and work it from there.

We're doing really good on traffic, but hey, FastLineDirectory is not for everyone, it's just how it works in this world We're also moving over to a new server sometime this week as this host we have is a major *** hole and he loves to update is DB all the time and never send an e-mail out to his paid customers.

Thanks for the compliment on the name!

[Steven Myers]

Thanks bobby, and I changed the contact e-mail to yours and moved you over to Free Directories as you requested from your PM.

Please note that I am looking into changing my plan with my hosting company, so please keep in mind that the management team is doing apache updates to the 1.3.6 as of 2 weeks ago and still developing some bug fixes for future use.

Thanks again!!

thanks for the mod...hehehe hopefully this will help encourage reciprocal links...cuz lmfao so far no one's done one hehehe but oh well, pretty sure most of the submits were bots anyways (finally got captcha workin)

[liskidder]

Is it possible to tweak this so that it shows up on the link detail page? I tried using the code below in detail.tpl but nothing showed up (it worked when I added it to link.tpl).

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

{if $RECPR_URL}
<a class="linkback" href="{$RECPR_URL}">Linkback</a> {/if}
