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.

August 25th, 2007 at 10:20 pm Hi there, first of all i like to say, awesome plugin, but i get an error at the top of my site: Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'backlink_head' was given in /home/toogpra/domains/toogpraat.com/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 123 and secondly if i add the line of code to my sidebar, it says call to undefined function. Is there comming a fix for this or is this caused by my template? PS: your contact form antispam on this site isnt working, or i am just dumb and 6+3 aint 9 ? =)
August 28th, 2007 at 4:15 pm could you create another file that strips out the javascript like you did before but for version 1.3? Maybe if you told me what lines of code you are taking out I can do it myself in future version (you know, that whole teach a man to fish thing). Thanks for all your help!
August 29th, 2007 at 1:08 pm In Wordpress 2.2.2, When I activate the your plugin, it show "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error." Please advise. Thanks in advance.
September 2nd, 2007 at 2:22 pm I'm all for trying it out. Taking a look at it now. Cheers. :)
September 2nd, 2007 at 5:30 pm Hey everyone I have addressed some of the problems in the newest release and added a couple new features. Sorry it took me a while to get it up there I was in the middle of changing hosting companies, redesigning my site, and adding vBulletin forums to it. If you have any further requests or bug reports please make them in the forums. It is much easier for me to keep track of them Thanks!
September 2nd, 2007 at 5:33 pm Is there any such plugin for blogspot users as well?
September 4th, 2007 at 3:10 am It would definitely be very useful on my jokes blog based off wordpress. Thanks for the nice plugin.
