New Collaborative Social Bookmarking Feature

Neurolinker continues to evolve, as I scour the web for more good ways to get links. The newest feature I added to neurolinker is collaborative social bookmarking (CBM), which is a fancy term that basically means the each user gets a chance to help out each other user by doing some social bookmarking on places like StumbleUpon, Furl and Delicious. When you do bookmarking for others, you get brownie points that Neurolinker actually keeps track of. If you have more brownie points than everyone else, then your sites filter to the top of everyone's bookmarking task list. So the more you bookmark for others, the more they will bookmark for you. This is a pretty simple way for everyone to get permanent one way backlinks to their site.

We Did It! 1000 Sites

We just passed the 1000 website mark. Neurolinker continues its robust growth at around 20-40 new websites each and every day. All these sites are indexed in the search engines, and all these sites are regular websites from real people, not some spammy blog farm. People are getting some nice relevant links. I have some sites in there as well. I have a credit card website (PR3) where virtually every single one of my outlinks and backlinks is related to credit cards, debt management or loans. I'm really pleased with how relevant the links are in most cases. Of course I've had a few cases where poeple with one and only one website in very obscure niches and no patience have been disappointed that Neurolinker couldn't get the a ton of links in their obscure little niche. But virtually everyone in the network is seeing some terrific backlinks and some good search engine ranking improvement as well.

I also started another backlink blog at my domain name neurolinker.biz to get a little more mileage out of my neurolinker domains.

Article Marketing in Neurolinker

I just released the new features in Neurolinker - the most important of which is the new Article Marketing feature. Now you can add up to 100 articles for each of your websites. These articles show up as separate pages on other people's websites, giving you some nice backlinks in context, just the way the search engines like. Similarly, you can also host other people's articles on your own site and get a ton of free content.

I added several other features to the latest version too:

• Users can now specify manual categories for their websites to help Neurolinker decide how to get more relevant links


• Users can now reject a small precentage (1 out of every 10) of their outlinks.


• The linkpage now has links to some of the links/resources pages on the member sites in order to give help the search engines index and rank the linkpages themselves.


• The Main Page now tracks user support requests to help users find their support request ticket numbers

Finally, we're closing in on 1000 sites - we should be there by the weekend at the latest!

Now Over 900 Sites

Neurolinker continues to grow rapidly and now has over 900 websites in the system. This means that websites are getting more and more backlinks each week that goes by. By early next week, I plan to roll out a new version of Neurolinker that will add some article marketing features to the system, which I know will make existing users really happy and will bring in a whole bunch of new people as well.

Neurolinker Without Curl

I had a few customers who had access to PHP on their sites, but their hosting account did not allow the use of curl. Curl is the package inside PHP that allows PHP to communicate between servers, and my code needs this to get the linkpage HTML for each site. But since curl isn't available for some people, I decided to develop a version that didn't use curl. Instead it uses native low level network communication functions inside PHP to do the HTTP GET command directly. For the end user, this simply means they have an additional PHP file to install on their servers to make the thing work. But users report that it works fine, so now there is indeed an option available for people who have PHP without curl.

Over 800 Sites and Growing

The Neurolinker network just passed 800 sites, continuing its rapid expansion. At this rate we'll hit 1000 sites in the next week or so!

I haven't posted recently because I'm furiously at work on some new Neurolinker features that will make the system blow the door off the competition. I don't want to give it away just yet, but there is one new feature in particular that will bring a huge smile to fams of one particular highly effective link building technique. I expect everything will be done by the end of this week, then tested for a few days and rolled out. Keep an eye out for a big anouncement,
