Links To Us Hack

This is my 3rd hack (second to be realeased) I hope you enjoy this great new website promotional tool.

This hack is designed to operate on its own or with Lesane's store hack If you have the store hack installed you can give points to members when people click the link on their website.

This hack makes it easy for everyone to put an image or text link from their site to yours. it produces the code for the user so all they have to do is copy and paste the html tag to their site.
There are 3 variations of banners and links that your guests or members can choose

1) Produces the code for a link with a remotely hosted image or banner.
2) Produces the code for an image link that is hosted on your server. (switchable for both guests and members)
3) Produces the code(s) for a set of special banner or image links that is hosted on your server. Basicly if you have other banners you can add them, and even restrict their use to members only.(switchable for both guests and members)

All the links that are produced by the code lead back to the linkstous.php and when clicked on from another website the surfer well be brought to a welcome page of your site,
If the link followed was from a non-member, the welcome page they come to is a generic page that you will create in your config,
however your members can develop a personalized their own welcome page for when somebody clicks the link on their site.

There is also a link counter so you can keep track of how many click-throughts you get from non-member links and also from each member individually, there is a "Top 10 Linkers" in the members area and a full stats page in the admin that has a top 50 member linkers list.
The system will not count or give points if the owner of the link clicks on it themselves!
