Hi Team,
We need a mod for reciprical links...
Let me explain :
Currently, when some adds their URL and it gets accepted the submittor then removes the link from their website.
What we need is a ramdom link checker that looks for the link on their website. If its not found, PS sends them an automatic email asking them to put it back on telling them that it will check again in 7 days time.
PS then goes and checks (7 days later) again, if not found sends them another email message automatically warning if the link is not added their link will automatically be delete in 7 days time.
Again, PS checks one more time, if the link is still not there it deletes the link in the PS directory or better still, puts it into a suspended directory!
This would be an ace mod!...
Regards

Bad idea.
If they removed link in the first place, your email or 10 of them nothing more than a waste of your time.
Solution: your link gone, their followed it instantly. Let them worry about what happened to their link.

Hi,
Thanks for that,
I refer to good customer care practices,
Removing their link from your site without telling them just because they have removed your from theirs makes no sense?
By demonstarting to submittors that you are a 'pro-active site' shows your committed to what you do. Sending them a polite message about the missing link would re-inforce this.

Why not? They violated conditions and neglected to maintain their end of the agreement. Granted some people delete links accidentally and in this case one polite reminder is in order. But given that 98% of sites you get submitted by SEO companies and webmasters with dozens of sites and for whom you reminders nothing more than nuisance or better yet by spambot submitter script that never will see your reminder, your politeness want do any good when it’s going to fall on a deaf ear.
This is not a public relation issue but rather subject of abuse of trust. Sending one reminder and being ignored is more than enough good reason to take swift actions thus to show to the public your commitment to maintain self-respect and put them on notice that your directory is not a garbage dump and that you care about it reputation.
But then again, what do I know and you maybe right |

Amray,
I agree with Rik, and here is why. If someone removes your link currently, how do you know wheter or not it is gone? You have to manually check. I have 130,000 links and there is no way I am going to check every reciporcal, so many webmasters get away with this method. On my other sites they are notified and many times they put the link back on! Then they never do it again.
This would help: Reciprocal link checker to the url sumitted, the ability to change the url the reciprocal is on, the ability to run a check, and the ability to send automated e-mails is the appropriate way to go about this. Plus we need to be notified through the control panel, that the reciprocal did not find the links. This is not a waste of time, I think it is very important.
This does not have to do with junk links, it has to do with promotion (your terms can cover the junk link issue).

As I said, one courtesy reminder email will be more than enough.
To have control panel that will manage links is totally different story and here I agree with you 100%
