You've heard about the fact that some search engine results favor sites with
links from other sites.
You know that having a list of relevant links can be reason enough for visitors to return to your site again and again.
If you've ever tried to maintain a list of links, you know that it can be a lot of work.
Also, some people cheat. When they say they'll link back to you, they don't. Or they will, but after you put up their link, they remove the link to your site.
This is where Master Reciprocal Links comes in. Not only does the program make it easy to maintain a links page, it also finds out who the cheats are!
This is how it works:
Before someone fills in the form to be included on your links page, they must have your link on your page. If they don't, they get caught.
How? When they fill in the form and click the button, a little robot scurries out to their page and takes a look!
The little robot is called "Link Rover". If Link Rover doesn't find your link on their page, their link request never makes it to you.
But if they do have your link on their page, you get an email saying someone requested to be on your links page. Then you go to your handy dandy control panel and either approve it or disapprove it.
If you approve it, it gets added to your list of approved links automatically. If you disapprove it, it goes poof.
You can edit your list of approved links whenever you want. You can delete links at any time. If you think someone may be cheating, send Link Rover out to check.
It's all done in your control panel.
With the click of a button you generate a new links page containing your current list of approved links.
If you need help, there are relevant [?] help links in all the right places.
Master Reciprocal Links is a sophisticated set of programs, with file sizes larger than most free programs. Yet, it is easy to install.
You custom generate your set. All required files, including simple installation instructions, are zipped into one easy-to-download ZIP file. When you click the button on the program generation form, the download starts automatically.
Did I say free? Well, yes, pretty much free. You are required to display 2 half-size banners on your links submission form and on your links page. But we don't ask any money for Master Reciprocal Links; at least not at this time. (A "Pro" version is in the works. That one will have no banners and will not be free.)
