    Yet another Web Dev tool

    Heya all!

    I've just cut a minute to stop by GFY and let you guys know that I've just finished working on another project of mine. Links Wizard is yet another web development tool that I needed so much but couldnt find anywhere, so there it was born. 90% of the features was suggested to me by other web developers. If you guys feel that there's a feature missing, the please let me know. Feel free to download, and test things out:

      Quick list of features:
      • Almost 100,000 of URLs can be processed within 24 hour period!
      • Links Wizard fetches an average of 100 links per minute on Pentium 4 3Ghz with 512 RAM on ADSL connection. An overal performance is determined by the speed you're connecting to the web sites.
      • Browse to the page you desire to manage links at.
      • Easy to use navigation and feature understanding.

              By the way, I just installed a sample directory script with links collected by Links Wizard:
              http://www.astanda.com/dir/
              It only takes few minutes to fetch hundreds of links with Titles, Emails, and Description; validating links as they come, leaving bad ones behind.

                  Looks nice for building link directories - can't wait for the full version to try.

                      Well, not just building directories. TGP owners can check galleries for recip links, redirects, server errors, etc. You can collect contact email addresses from web sites of your interest from DMOZ, Google, or any other search engine.
                      The next version I'm working on has an option to access DNS information for each web site, pull out emails, physical addresses, phone numbers, etc.

                              Google pagerank is on my to do list.

                              Search "string"? Go to Config, then Misc. In the "Recip link checking" enter a text string or a regular expression to search for within the contents of each URL. Put a check mark right below the recip text box to get only those web sites that have that string.
                              For example, if you want to check if any of the galleries on your TGP have a link to The Huns Yellow Pages: <a(.*)href="http://(.*)thehun.com(.*)>(.*)</a>, or if any gallery has the word illegal somewhere in the content.
                              There's a Test button to test any URL with your custom configuration. Just be careful with invalid regular expressions, as they will most likely put an infinite loop inside the program. For more help with regular expressions search Google for "Regular Expressions".
                              Note: all regular expressions and text strings are case insensitive.

                                      As soon as I find a credit card proccessing service that can charge for the software download. I've been turned down by few for the reason that I live in Estonia (eastern europe), that includes PayPal. I've requested pre-sales verification from two companies, and awaiting their reply. They should check the software, verify my banking info, etc.
                                      The price for the full version depends on the volume of sales, chargebacks, piracy, etc. Though, no matter what, the price will not be greater than $39. I also wanted manage a members section where you'd pay once, and then have unlimited access to future versions. Verotel.com would do just fine, but they decided not to.

                                      So, the answer is: ASAP

                                          Also, I've compiled a full version for eSyndiCat Pro. If you use eSyndiCat Pro, then there's a link to the full version 1.2.2 download on their forums: http://www.esyndicat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1246

                                                  By the way Links Wizard 1.2.3 full version is available from http://www.plimus.com
                                                  If anybody is interested, I can setup a 50/50 affiliate program right from Plimus. Contact me over the email pgolovko[At]yahoo.com if any one is running a webmaster resource web site and would be interested in getting 50% from Links Wizard sales. All you need is an affiliate account with Plimus.com, and I need to add your affiliate ID to my list.
                                                  Your 50% from ($39 minus Plimus share) should be somewhere around $18. So it will be about $180 if you refer just 10 customers.
                                                  Let me know if you're interested.
