Wordpress Plugin Idea: Hardlink Exchange w/ reciprocal checker
 

Is it possible for someone to create a hard link exchange plugin for wordpress that checks reciprocal links?

I know I can install a secondary script and call it via php, but it would be killer if we had something built into wordpress that did everything automatically from within the wordpress control panel

nice idea

anothe rnice idea jace!

nice idea man your on the ball with the blog stuff lately

I am trying man

I am basically just building up a new blog network and being very public about what I like, dislike and want whle I do it

hopefully helping people along the way

thats a good idea!

ok, how about this

how much would a programmer familiar with wordpress charge me to write this plugin to my specs?

get in touch with woj he's done a few wordpress projects for us

www.wojfun.com

a traffic trading link exchange mod would be pretty sweet too i think...

I wouldn't mind sponsoring such a plugin.

yeah, once I get my link exchange plugin going, I am going to be working on a traffic trading system

we think we have found a solution

I will bump this thread when we figure out if it will work or not

basically, taking a existing script and porting it into a wordpress plugin

I might be willing to throw some money in on this too.
I've been wanting something like that for a while.

id be in for pitching, i could use both the hardlink exchange and traffic exchange mods for my wordpress blogs. i've been thinking on those two for some time now.

nice idea jace!

He looked upon the land, and saw that there was RSS... and it was good.

Nothing new on this idea yet?

nope, I had a buddy working on something but he got busy and can't finish it

hey jace, if you're still doing something about a traffic exchange script, hit me up, i'm still looking, and would be willing willing to help pitch in on something if you're interested...

I had one coded a while back but about the same time I quit doing much with blogs. Let me see if I can dig it out as it may have been on an old laptop and if so that HD crashed. I may still have it in an old email though. May also not work with newer WP versions as it has never been really tested. There is a copy of it on www.erectionblog.com - at the bottom of all the links you will see an "add you link" link. In the admin section for manage links it adds an extra column that shows if the recip is valid.

eek, no self adding links

does it give the ability to put the link into a queue for approval before posting it?

Sure. I can try to get in touch with the guy I did this for at the beginning of the year, but since my PC crash, I don't have any of my old emails, ICQs, etc ... I have no idea where I'd even start to look for his contact information.

I gave him the source to it, so he'd likely be willing to sell you a copy directly. He wasn't a GFY'er, unfortunately.

anyone got traffic trade plugins for wordpress, anyone? anyone at all? :)

I am sure it can be moded to do so. I emailed it to the email in your sig.

Already exists.
