Adding links exchange manager in Wordpress (Linkman)
Print This Post
Exchange links is crucial if you want to improve your Google Page Rank. Why do people do it. Most of the part is because SE (search engine) love website with high page ranks. It shows readers likes your pages, meaning there’s alot of traffic. A website also can get index by SE by link exchange. Some people buy links to but sometimes it’s too expensive, idealy we do reciprocal links.
So how do we do it in Wordpress, go grab your self a copy of Linkman. This is a great reciprocal links script plus it’s free. We are going to implant this script into Wordpress, so brace yourself, and here we go
- Extract the zip file, open up the folder and use your favorite text editor to open setting.php file, change the password for admin and website URL. Others are optional.
- Upload to Wordpress root folder, it should look like www.yoursite.com/blog/linkman
- Next go to www.nosq.com and download RunPHP wordpress plugin. Install and activate the plugin (Assume you already know how to do this).
- Now login to your Wordpress admin, and create new page, enter Partners both in the title column and post slug. Make sure the run PHP code? is tick.
- In the Page Content insert these script
<phpcode>
<?php include("/path/to/my/links.php"); ?>
</phpcode>
The “/path/to/my/links.php” can be “../linkman/links.php” or “www.yoursite.com/blog/linkman/links.php”, try each one and see which works.
- With your text editor open up the form.html and copy the whole script and paste it just below the php script above. And save.
- There you have it a complete reciprocal links in your wordpress blog. So now you have to do is login to linkman login page eg. www.yoursite.com/linkman/index.php and edit the setting there, it’s pretty straight forward.
Noted: Some have encountered problem when submitting links. As alternative you can use a pop-up script to open the form, rather than paste the form.html script into the page it self. Go to Pop-up Javascipt creator page, follow the instructions.
Pop-up Tips: Copy the Step One script in header.php within the theme that you’re using. And copy the Step Second in the page content with the script above.

Hi:)
I reconfigured and uploaded the ’settings.php’ file to my top most root directory, in my ftp program where it looks like just a slash. I then uploaded all the other files to that same folder. I created a folder called “linkman”. I installed and activated the php plugin, although the theme I use, Ikarus, and WP 2.6.2 include the ExecPHP plugin already.
Question: I created a Page (not a post) and included this -
I then included the html form code. The form looks great, except that the code above gives a buncha errors that say ’stream not found in directory’etc.
and
When I try and add a URL, I get a 404 page not found error.
Am I supposed to create a 2nd page for the links to go to? A ’subfolder’ in the linkman folder or what am I doing wrong? The php code SHOWS on the page itself, plus where do the links go once they’re added (haven’t been able to do that yet 404 error)
AND there is no ‘post slug’ area in the “Write Pages” section of the admin area, not in WP 2.6.2 anyway. Where am I goofing this up?
Thank you in advance:)
