Product Overview

Click here to view in full sizeLinKtoLinK 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    - Inactive (link is no longer active); and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 log as desired.
  Use the site report for reference purposes.
   
Backup services. Maintain a backup database on any available drive including floppies and zip disks. Protect against data losses from a power outage while working in LinKtoLinK or against other unforeseen catastrophes!
   
Utilities to repair and compact the LinKtoLinK database.
