Hard Link Question

[DougCooper]

Is is possible to make the links in the link directory 'hard links' for better search engine results, ie www.yoursite.com/links/bobswebsite instead of the random code that is shown

[Brian]

Just to be sure I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying on the showlink.php page that you'd rather have http://vbadvanced.com instead of http://yoursite/links/showlink?l=21 as the link? If that's what you mean, it could be changed to only have the URL, but that would prevent the script from being able to track the number of hits on a link.

[DougCooper]

not quite what I meant, what I'm asking is in stead of having the link as http://yoursite/links/showlink?l=21 could you not have it as http://yoursite/links/name_of_site_your_linking_to

That is what Brain said. As Brain says you will not be able to track statistics on views.

[DougCooper]

Stats on the links isn't important for me

[Brian]

If they're not important then you could just edit your 'ADV_LINKS_SHOWLINK' template and replace the URL in the link with $link[url].
