Link exchange concept

This is an experimental concept I came up with on webdevrefinery.

The idea is to have a centrally maintained and human moderated set of links that forms a network of possibly SEO positive links. This is meant to help personal websites and freelance developers who would like an honest way to exchange links and facilitate collaboration.

Of course, we can’t accept just anybody to the list, so heres the requirements of entry:

• Non commercial personal websites although unobtrusive ads ok
• No illegal or adult content, i.e no porn nor warez
• Retrieve and output that link code from server side
• Display the links on main page or a links page one click away from main page.

If you reckon that your website meets the above requirements and are interested in joining this list, please contact me with your site url and site title. Heres the link list at present.

The Setup

To set this up for your site, you simply retrieve the contents of http://www.unbolt.net/linkx.php remotely from your site. For example, in PHP you would do something like

<?php
$contents = file_get_contents('http://www.unbolt.net/linkx.php');
echo $contents;
?>

At present, linkx.php recieves the following parameters,

• me - the url you put here will not show up when you call the list.
• format - defines the return format, at present supports json.
