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.

Well,
It works with 3.8.X.

just one question, how can I skip to have a lot of linkbacks from google with the list above?

Thanks.

[Reef Man]

Dear sir,

I tried visiting the link you gave for your "DCSEO modification," but I am lead to an error page. Is that modification still available, or have you decided to discontinue?

Regards,

Kevin

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO linkback

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry '65535' for key 1

i tried changing the linkbackid to an int value instead of smallint

that didnt do it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but where would one put entries into the blacklist exactly?

I'd also like to enquire whether this modification still works with VB4? And lastly, I noticed that in some of my linkbacks, I have a lot of repetitive links showing up. Would it be possible to somehow have numerous links from the same site (for instance from another forum, it's possible to receive dozens of links from a single thread) consolidated into a single entry without requiring manual interaction?

Thanks

Edit: Just bought vbSEO, and discovered everything I asked is available in there
