Adding php to site

[nicolad1978]

I am trying to link my website to another but they are asking me to use .php. I have had a look all over this site to find out how to do this.

This is the message I received from them:

Several things. It's about using .php technology to AUTOMATICALLY add links to your links page. All you do is add a piece of code to your page - then forget all about links. As more people join the strategy, the more will be linking to your index
> >page. In a few months there could be hundreds of websites all linking to you (and you to them also).

Here is what to do next.

1. Make a new html web page called reciprocal-links.htm
2. Add the code to the page where you want the links to appear
3. Change the htm page to php i.e. links.php
4. Make a link to this page from your index page

This is the code
<?php include("http://www.ihaveawebsite-nowwhat.co.uk/links/?cat=Shopping"); ?>

Can anyone offer any advice with regards to this??

Personally I would not sign up to this sort of linking strategy. you have no control over the links which end up on your site.

To get a decent page rank you need to have good quality links ie those with a PR of 5 plus. and relevant to your site. You can only acheive this if you do it yourself

Also google recognises some of those scripts and classifies them as FFA (free for all) farm scripts. When it does this your PR goes to zero and you no longer appear in their search results.

This kind of thing is best avoided.
