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.

It's strange but now it's back to doing it one at a time again, no biggie though all you have to do is just click Go every time it reloads until they are gone. Does the blacklist take wildcards? For example Google has sites in a ton of countries (see here for example http://c.asselin.free.fr/french/googleworldwide.htm ) and it would be cool to exclude them all if possible.
Yeah after I wrote that I realized they probably don't have a Safeway in the UK but I bet they still have lots of slimy chickens just like we do in the US.
I did think about adding wildcard support. It wouldn't be hard. For now just imagine that there's a wildcard inserted before and after each thing you type in the box You can put anything you like there btw, but be very careful that you don't filter out good results!
Yeah, if you have multiple linkbacks to mod, if you click yes to all, it will only remove one at a time, it keeps reloading and waiting for a click to remove another one, till they are all gone.

For now I have turned it off, just because I am getting about 20 different google countries an hour and there are way too many for me to decifer and add one at a time. Still have it installed though, looking forward to this update.
