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.

September 7th, 2007 at 1:27 pm Hi Eric, Thank You for your nice plugin! Have used it on my blog http://blog.chokyi.com. May I know how to change the input box size? I wish to make it smaller so that it fits into my theme. Thanks! :-D Best Regards, Chokyi Ooi Online Business Alliance

September 9th, 2007 at 5:07 am great plug-in!!! I added the widget like you said but the Cutline theme seems to place the links form on the side of the sidebar not actually below in a list like you would normally see it. Have you seen this in other Cutline themes or has anyone had this problem? ...again excellent plugin...I just need to have it in the sidebar not to the side of the sidebar... Cheers!
September 9th, 2007 at 1:57 pm Hi Eric: Your latest version 1 for the WP-Backlinks Plug-in produces "1" error when tested for compliance with XHTML 1.0 Transitional using WP2.2.2. Below is a copy of the code that appears in my source code for the Links Page .... this is the sidebar portion of the code produced automatically by the plug-in. The error is in the single line halfway down: "" It should read: " I have checked your wp-backlinks.php code and can't understand why the "style" entry below does not have the type attribute and value included, as your code seems to be OK. Can you please examine this and advise as to how to fix the error. I am using WP2.2.2. I would like to retain 100% compliance with XHTML 1.0 and in many instances, this has required edits to plug-ins which I use to add various features to my blog. I want to get my setup perfect as I intend, very soon, to replicate it across 20+sites for "Internet Millionaire Blueprint" at http://InternetMillionaireBlueprint.com. Many thanks and I do hope you can help out! You will need to look at the source code version of the section below to view the actual code copy. (I probably should have turned it into an image for this post).

September 9th, 2007 at 5:00 pm I discovered it shows up incorrectly in firefox. Internet Explorer works fine. I added it to a post I made as well in your forum under Krusher. ...love the plugin.
September 10th, 2007 at 5:39 am how to put the form on a page rather on the sidebar?
September 11th, 2007 at 7:06 am i just installed this plugin on my blog and i love it! thank you!
September 12th, 2007 at 4:26 pm Anyone know what the difference between FireFox and IE that would cause the form to float outside to the left? This is what I mean....my site www.pokergta.com viewed in firefox. If you view it in explorer you won't see the diference.
