LinKtoLinK is the Windows
application that helps you manage reciprocal website
links: from the initial offering to the testing of each
implemented link.
LinKtoLinK comes in two versions.
The free ad-supported version provides basic services to manage
an unlimited number of reciprocal links for one website. The LinKtoLinK Pro
version enables
you to manage an unlimited number of websites and corresponding links
and has many additional productivity features geared to the
professional. It comes with a free 30-day evaluation period.
Here’s what the free
ad-supported version gives you:
 |
No Evaluation Time Limit. Use
as much and as often as you want courtesy of Boundaries
Unlimited and the companies whose ads are displayed on the
main screen. |
|
|
 |
Intuitive
main screen. Website and corresponding
link information is presented in split panes
similar to Windows Explorer. Plus it has a third
pane at the bottom to display e-mail and link
testing activity. |
| |
|
 |
Makes it easy to keep track of your reciprocal links. |
| |
 |
Organizes
reciprocal links to each of your websites into 6
status categories: |
| |
|
- |
Offer (making an
offer or waiting for a response); |
| |
|
- |
In-Process (offer
accepted, but links not yet implemented); |
| |
|
- |
Active (agreed-to
links are present when tested); |
| |
|
- |
Broken (one or
more agreed-to links are no longer present or
there is some other problem such as the server
for website is not responding); |
| |
|
- |
Inactive (link is
no longer active); and |
| |
|
- |
Declined (offer
was refused). |
| |
 |
Provides tabs so
you can easily view those links having a
particular status. |
| |
 |
Tests each
agreed-to link. (You must have an active Internet account
and be using Internet Explorer 4.0+, Netscape 4.0+, or AOL
Browser 4.0+ as your default browser.) Based on the test rules
selected in your site’s properties, LinKtoLinK will
test: |
| |
|
- |
Your link on
someone else's link page; |
| |
|
- |
Your image, such as a banner or icon, on someone
else's link page; |
| |
|
- |
The reciprocal
link on your link page; and |
| |
|
- |
The reciprocal image, such as a banner or icon, on
your link page. |
| |
 |
Automatically
changes link status based on test results: |
| |
|
- |
Moves a link to
"Broken" if an agreed-to link is not
found or there is no server response from a
website. |
| |
|
- |
Moves broken
links back to "Active" if the agreed-to
links are later found. |
| |
 |
Has
easy-to-interpret icons on the main screen so you
can quickly determine a link's status and its
test results. |
| |
|
 |
Versatile
E-Mail Service. |
| |
 |
Select and send 8
different e-mail messages (7 pre-defined and 1
user-defined). This set of messages can be
different for each of your websites. |
| |
 |
Change messages
to meet your special needs by using the e-mail
template editor. 19 tag fields are available to
insert information from your LinKtoLinK site and link properties
so that you can make each message as personalized
as possible. |
| |
 |
Proof each
template with a built-in spell checker. |
| |
 |
Attach a file to
any e-mail template. Great for including an image
file with your correspondence. |
| |
 |
Preview e-mail
messages for completeness before sending them. |
| |
 |
Receive blind
carbon copies (bcc:'s) of the e-mails you send
(optional). |
|
 |
You must have an active SMTP
Internet e-mail account to send e-mail messages. Note that the
LinKtoLinK e-mail service successfully works with the AOL
Browser 5.0+. When using the AOL Browser 4.0, you may
have to cut-n-paste messages from the e-mail template
screen then manually edit and use AOL's e-mail service. |
| |
|
 |
Results log and site report. |
| |
 |
Watch e-mail and
test activity on the Results Log pane of the main
screen in real-time. Print, save, or delete the
