    Q:Do I need any database such as MySQL etc.?
    A: No, you needn't. All the data is stored in text files (when Mod_rewrite enabled) or simply in ready to use html files in a folder on your server.

    Q:I opened an account, confirmed it, what next?
    A:Read Help section first, then login to your account and click "Add own website" link to add your website. After you added your website you will be offered to download a zip archive with the script inside. Unpack it and read readme.txt file for installation instruction. After you installed the script on your server the first thing to do is to customize the Public Sign Up page which is a really powerful instrument that you should use to its full extent. It virtually places your link building campaigns on autopilot!
    Go to Edit Account -> Add Link Page Settings and choose websites criteria you wish to accept in link exchange such as minimum Google Page Rank of the reciprocal link page, maximum number of links on that page etc...

    Q:Can your script check cloak link pages? In a cloak page all links are sick with rel="nofollow". Link partners have to really look at the code in google cache to see the rel="nofollow".
    A:Yes, it can check cloak pages, since it acts more as a spider than a browser. Since cloaking usually hides the links from users browsers and reveals the rel="nofollow" to search engine spiders our script can easily track this.
    Besides, there is a reliable way to red flag any cloaking by checking google cache of the page, for example in 2 months of after a link partner placed a back link to your website, which our software checks too.
    By checking Google Cache we find cloaking pages with 100% certainty!

    Moreover we check for and retreive anything webmasters ever dreamed of!
    All the back links are checked for:
    javascript
    rel="nofollow" in the <a href="http://...."> (link itself)
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> in the <HEAD>
    Our software checkes the pages if they are cached by Google, the date of last cache, if there is your link in the cache, if there is no rel="nofollow", no content="index,follow"> in the <HEAD>
    Google Page Rank (PR), Google back links, Alexa Rank are also checked and written into the database.
    robots.txt is checked too

    You get a detailed report into your email box every time such a check is done.

    Q:I installed the script, but it is not working. The links pages are not displayed.
    A:Make sure you gave 777 permission rights to the folder where our script is located. Give 777 rights only to the folder, not the files directory.php, showdirectory.php, manual_links.php, ml_list_update.php files, since in some cases your server won't let those file to run properly.

    If you see 500 Internal Server Error try to change the rights of our script folder to default 755. Also change to 644 the rights of all .php files inside the script's folder and open in your browser http://{Your site}/{url to directory}/install.php again. This often helps (you should see Script Installed Successfully message) and means that your server doesn't allow 777 rights, but this is no problem in this case, the script will function properly.

    Q:Do you offer contextual linking?
    A:Yes, we do. We offer 2 choices.
    1) You can add articles in your directory link pages with links and images. In order to do that, when you add a link partner leave the "site title" field empty and place your article with links code into the "site description" field.

    2) We offer an absolutely new approach to swapping links. It's called Context or content links. In fact, it's not new at all, it is a natural way of placing outbound links and it was done in such a way until links directories appeared.
    Context links can be placed anywhere on your website in a place you chose yourself. The best way to place them is your content pages.
    If you have a website with hundreds or thousands of pages generated by one or several pages of php script this is exactly what you need. Just place a piece of our php code into your php page and in your account panel specify the code and place (location on your site) of your link partner. It will appear instantly on the page that you specified and you wouldn't have to worry about checking its back links, deleting inactive, finding fraud link partners etc... Everything will be done automatically by our Software.

    Q:I'm very much worried if WebmasterLagoon.com goes offline and stops its services. What will happen to my link partners and link pages?
    A:You don't have to worry about your link partners being managed on our servers, since you can easily make a CSV dump of them and use in any other links managing program or database.
    Secondly, all the data is also stored in html or txt files on your server and in case we should have a downtime your hard work will never be lost. All of your existing link pages will do fine without us.
