The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I tried this new linkexchange plugin and i am really impressed. I am a webmistress and manage about 50 web projects.
Every day we get about 3 link exchange requests and it needs a lot of time to exchange the links manually.
So - with this plugin it's really quick and easy to exchange links with others.
Now, I just tell my partners to take part on this system.

The advantage of this system is, that you can create full sentences which contain your keyword.
So you can give your key a sense and it's more difficult for google to find the network.
With this feature, you can embed your keyword in the source page and not just show the key.

I was also impressed of the high quantity of settings in the account manager. You can set up nearly everything you need.

It looks like the system has a proper domain checking, because I got some really good links for a fair price.

The other advantage is, that the link sentence is automatically put at the end of the text.
It's dangerous to put the links in a special module position, because it's easy for google to detect it.

However, it would be useful to publish also a module for this service, so the people can choose, what they like to use.
And, the system is missing some security checks of the link giving domains.

Overall it's a good plugin and system.
I asked the seoslave service for an automatic banned and penalty check and they told me they will work on it and include it in the new version.

This module allows you, to show links to other pages on your own homepage.

Please be careful with showing too many links from your page - you can loose your pagerank and also get a google penalty. Try to show only one or two links per page.

The risk of this plugin is very high, because it shows only the link without any text around. There is no sentence - it's just the link.
So it's really easy to find Linksystems for google.

Be careful with this plugin.
I've already lost about 5 quality pages in cause of using automatic backlinks.

On the other hand the most pages of the automatic backlink system are only linkbuilding pages. I used the system for a long time and got about 50% useless links, about 20% penalty links and even about 10% links from banned domains. It looks like abm doesn't check their sites carefully and has no automatic system to do that.

Actually it is a good idea, but the implementation is not carefully done.

So in my opinion the use is very risky at this time.

If you want to use it, i think it's better to try it with the loadmodule feature {loadposition user1} of joomla. So at least, you can put some text arround the keyword(s).
