dynamic and static links

Re: dynamic and static links


For SEO purposes plain links are best. The redirect might not be followed for one.

There are many other small reasons.



As far as I know there are none. All the semi-decent scripts I know of use a redirect to count the "hit".

What I suggest is that you modify an existing script to pull the plain URL from the database.



phpadsnew is an ad server.

What you are looking for would be found under queries like:

portal (but you'll get lots of CMS results)
directory
link management
link indexing

A free one I was looking at in the past (but never used) is LinksCaffe

The only other semi-decent free PHP script of this variety that I know of is PHP Links

If you want to mess around in Perl I know of another free one, but it uses flatfiles instead of a database, and flatfile databases are not very stable or scalable.

Note that all of these use a redirect. But this could probably easily be modified (I've never used this software, only evaluated it. So I do not know how and would probably not have time to look at their code).

yeah, I was looking at linkscaffe, but it uses redirects and it's not a huge deal but I not only want visitors to click on it but want spyders to see it as well.

I mentioned phpadsnew because it can setup rotating text links if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, linkscaffe uses a redirect. Thing is, most directory scripts of any quality will. So that's why I advise that you strip the redirect from an existing script.
