Miscellaneous Hacks - DCSEO Linkbacks (Refbacks implementation)

Introduction

Dear Friends,

After much thought I have decided to release part of my upcoming DCSEO modification to the community for free.

What does this modification do?

This modification offers you the facility to track URLs that link to threads on your forum. Instead of me trying to explain to you what a linkback actually is I'll link you to wikipedia's explanation of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkback

This modification implements refbacks, but not trackbacks or pingbacks (these will be included in the DCSEO modification). Any sites that the system *thinks* link to you, are put into an approval queue in the admincp which you will see in the left-hand nav after you install the mod. This moderation queue can be turned off, but I would strongly reccomend never turning it off!

The reason this will offer you a major benefit to your search engine rankings and PR (for google), is that it will create relevant inbound and outbound traffic to your forum which the search engines love.

Installation

Download the attached zip and open the readme.txt file, and follow the instructions within it.

Support

I will be around to offer support wherever possible, but please do not PM me asking for support, as I will not respond. If you have any bugs, report them in this thread and I'll fix them as soon as possible. I am rather busy at the moment with work during the day, and full-time development of the DCSEO product in the evenings, so please be patient with me if I take a little while responding to your posts.

Nice mod here Dean! Just a couple of issues, one is that I am getting a ton from google is that something you are working on omitting? The other is that I said no to all on approve refback but they won't go away. It just takes me to the successfully moderated and then back with all the links still there.

Edit: I see what it's doing, it removes them one at a time even though I selected No to all. Then when I click Go at the bottom it only removes one, then Go again removes the next one, etc.

Hi eric

Just as I'm about to release the update, you go and find another bug for me I'll go off and fix it now and release 1.1. And yes, a blacklist feature is being added which includes google/yahoo/msn by default and you can add anything else you want to it

[ericgtr]

haha, I am usually the bringer of bugs! I always love your work man, thanks for making this available to us. I will keep an eye out for the update.
