Backlinks

Backlinks is a plugin which is basically copies the google backlink functionality. The reason I started it was because after a plugin problem where I stopped receiving trackbacks in some popular posts, I couldn’t see who had linked to me unless I did a manual search. That annoyed me to no end.

Plus, because a substancial amount of people still use Blospot which stubbornly refuses to implement trackbacks, you do not see the full number of pages linking to you.

Thus Backlinks was born. At the moment is at a very basic version and I plan to add some more nice features. You use it by simply adding its tag to your templates (see the readme file).

Where to get it.

As always, you can get the latest stable version at the Plugin Codex or simply grab the development version.

Great Idea!
Works perfect, caching would be really nice because on heavy Blogs it puts load on the Server.
Any chance for this?
Thanks!

Certainly but I'm not very knowledgeable with php or simplepie so I learn as I go. If you know how to achieve it, feel free to let me know

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you're a SEO Consultant and you can't even get your own PR above 3 then you're in the wrong line of business.

Unfortunately I can't really help you as I'm not an expert on this. Google around and I'm certain you'll find some articles

why

db0 07.04.09 / 9am

It looks as if the simplepie cache location is not writable. Can you check if the backlinks/cache directory is 755?

YiPing 07.04.09 / 9am

ies,i check it.but the error is here.
i use the php code from backlinks.com,not the plugin.
and thank you the reply.

db0 07.04.09 / 9am

Er what? If you're not using my plugin how am I supposed to help you?

Bong 07.04.09 / 1pm

I mistook this with another existing WordPress plugin with the same plugin name. I'm just not sure if it predates yours.

Do I need to set the permissions differently? Is that safe hacker attack wise?

Thanks for any suggestions to this newbie!

db0 20.04.09 / 10am

I'm afraid not

db0 20.04.09 / 10am

The cache directory should be writable by the owner of the site. This is generally safe.

You're added the php call to your template? Have you made them visible even if no backlinks are available for the page?

Great plugin, proving very useful for backlink building.

Cricketmaniac 25.06.09 / 1pm

The best way to increase PR is:

1. Do best of the optimization (Proper meta tags, XML sitemap, Robots.txt, add your site to Google Webmasters, Google Analytics & like wise)
2. Ping your site at the best Pinging sites
3. Make high PR & thematic back links.
4. Do Social media submissions in the best of the social media bookmarking sites like Stumble upon, Digg, Delicious, Faves, Jumptags etc.
5. Update your site/blog regularly so that Search Engine always find new content on the site.

Believe me, check out my Cricket Blog. I started it on May 8th 2009 & I checked the PR of it yesterday (June 24 2009), the PR shooted upto 1. Previously it was NA.

Erghm, PR 1 is the lowest you can have. So what happened is pretty natural and it means that Google acknowledged your existence.

Have your say

02.07 Quote of the day: P2P Anarcho-Communism
Quoth DaydreamNation

Anarcho-communism is a bit like p2p data transfers. When everyone has a file and a proper system to check the integrity of their files (md5), one bad seeder doesn’t ruin the file for everyone.

I like
29.06 Bumming out
The Barefoot Bum’s slum seems to be suddenly closed. Anyone have any theories as for why? If he’d closed it himself I’d expect the actual content to remain for archival purposes rather than being removed.
24.06 Bumming Mutualism
The Barefoot Bum has started reading and analyzing the Kevin Carson’s Studies in Mutualist Political Economy. This should be interesting. Larry generally is very sharp when it comes to such issues so if this is the first part of a series, it will be something to follow closely.
