Recently Ivan Widjaya (”Noobpreneur”) was kind enough to invite me for a phpLinkBid Q&A session on his blog. Many folks are curious about how many phpLinkBid sites are really out there now, where this whole bid directory thing is going, and how Webmasters are dealing with SPAM and irrelevant link submissions. Thanks to Ivan’s questions we have a few more answers in this interview with Bidpreneur Directory Blog.

Thanks again Ivan!

After lots and lots and lots of work, I have finally launched phpLinkBid Link Effects. This add-on brings some awesome new functionality to phpLinkBid so it’s a very exciting release. Now phpLinkBid site owners can have a completely new way to monetize their directories, and users can upgrade their links in all kinds of ways. The system was built to support a very flexible system for effects and administrators can customize to their heart’s desire.

I just announced an update for the phpLinkBid Advanced Link Statistics Add-on over in the phpLinkBid Forums. This is just a minor update to fix a bug with MSN indexed pages statistics. Crawling has it’s disadvantages compared to oh, say, and API!

ALS is also due for some more updates in the somewhat near future and a few small improvements will be ready for public beta soon as well. Feedback, feature requests and complaints should be directed to the ALS forums.

Thanks to Directories Forum for the recent interview on phpLinkBid, directories and business in general. Loredan was kind enough to invite me for some important questions on bid directories and some less important questions about my own life. For many details on phpLinkBid history, the growth of phpLinkBid and bid directories, SPAM, future versions of phpLInkBid and more read the full interview at Directories Forum.
