Here is a link to download the current version WP-Backlinks version 1.1.1 (Latest Aug-31-2007)
I am glad to announce that I will be releasing my backlinks plugin I have been working on. It is a beta release as of July 25th 2007. I have a lot I want to add to this plugin but It seems to be pretty stable.I just need to get it out there and get some bug reports back from everyone. I hope this plugin makes it easy for you to gain backlinks and get your weblog as popular as it should be.
##Description##
WP-Backlinks is a plugin that makes it easy to trade and manage your backlinks on a weblog. There will be a form for other weblog owners to fill out in your side navigation with their site details and and the url to the weblog article that has a link to your site. Once the form is filled out WP-Backlinks will spider that page and make sure that they really did put a link to your weblog on that page. It will also log the page rank of that page. In the admin section you will have to approve any new links to be displayed on yourweblog so that there aren’t any inappropriate links going on your weblog. You can set a limit of how many links to trade per article. The default is five. Here’s the math. If you have a weblog that has 1000 articles and you trade 5 links per article of your weblog that would be an additional 5000 incoming backlinks. Your pagerank and traffic would definitely start to rise and any text-link-ads or what ever advertising you are doing if any would also become more valuable. There are a lot of features that I am going to ad to this plugin so stay tuned.
== Installation ==
1. Upload `wp-backlinks/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. go to your widgets admin tools located in the admin section under the presentation tab and drag the backlinks widget into the list.If you are using a theme that doesn’t support widgets just add this line of code to your sidebar.php page <?php widget_backlink(); ?>
4. To add WP-backlink to a page, create a page where you want your backlinks to go and in code format write <!–backlinks–> This will display your links and a description for each link.

Here is a link to download the current version WP-Backlinks version 1
This version written and tested on wordpress 2.2.1 I plan on testing it on earlier versions! if you do test this on a version other then 2.2.1 go to my forums and tell me how it worked!
WP-Backlinks is intended for Wordpress weblogs only and is not compatible with any other weblogs or websites!
August 3rd, 2007 at 7:53 pm It doesn't, I didn't want it to do any tracking because most people already have tracking for their site. I would suggest using google analytics, it shows you everything you would want to know. Sorry!
August 4th, 2007 at 5:27 am If possible - on the manage the links screen - it would be great if we could see the post that the link was added on. For example - I'm a lot more picky with our home page links than with the links that are on the sub pages. Additionally - several people have submitted links - and in the reciprocal field they put down our main site - another site that links to our blog. Any way to make the verify script confirm that the domain that links back in the reciprocal is the same domain as the one the page would be linking to.
