Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Link Exchange Script

What is automatic reciprocal link verification?

The script automatically checks partner websites to verify they have your backlink. It detects broken links, cloaking, nofollow tags, JavaScript redirects, and ensures genuine reciprocal partnerships. Cron-based monitoring continuously validates all active links.

How does cron-based link checking work?

Set up a cron job on your server to automatically run verification checks at your chosen interval (daily, weekly, etc.). The system processes links in batches, sends notifications on failures, and maintains complete verification history. No manual checking required.

What spam detection features are included?

Advanced auto-rejection system with 9 rules: domain blacklist, TLD blacklist, disposable email detection, keyword filtering, language requirements, quality score thresholds, domain age checks, HTTPS requirements, and outbound link limits. Plus CAPTCHA protection (math/image/slider/hybrid types) and honeypot fields.

Can I customize the email templates?

Yes. 7 email templates included (submission confirmation, approval, rejection, broken link alerts, cron reports, admin notifications, password reset). Edit subject and body, use variable replacement ({SITE_NAME}, {WEBSITE_NAME}), send test emails, and support HTML formatting.

What languages are supported?

7 languages pre-translated: English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Italian. Easy language switcher on frontend, admin can enable/disable languages, and simple JSON structure for adding more languages.

What reports and analytics are available?

6 comprehensive reports: Links Overview, Traffic Analysis, Category Performance, Submission Trends, Verification Status, and Activity Summary. All include charts, graphs, custom date ranges, and CSV/PDF export options.

Does it support nested categories?

Yes. Create unlimited parent-child category relationships with hierarchical navigation, breadcrumbs, custom icons (Bootstrap Icons), SEO settings per category, display order control, and automatic slug generation.

What are the server requirements?

PHP 8.0+, MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.2+, cURL extension, JSON extension, PDO extension, and cron job access for automated verification. Works on shared hosting, VPS, or dedicated servers. Complete installation documentation included.

Is support and documentation included?

Yes. 6 months email support for installation, configuration, and usage questions. Comprehensive documentation with cron setup, htaccess configuration, email setup, and troubleshooting guides. Customization services available separately.

Can you customize the script for me?
