2levelsabove Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have seen certain applications do it successfully and yet certain applications fail miserably. Any thoughts on this matter?

2levelsabove Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Developing a tool for a client marketing company that wants to determine on the fly how many back-links a website has or somehow automate that process. For example AllTheRides.com has 4300 sites that have a link pointing back to it. Now how could one approach the problem of trying to calculate that efficiently. Google "Link" command is unreliable at most Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160938-using-php-to-calculate-backlinks/#findComment-849363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijew Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I did something like this way back when. Look up doing this using curl. Basically all you do is throw the back links into a db and use curl to crawl the page and see if the link exists. Write an if/else and update the db accordingly . Kind of a resource hog but not horrible if run as a cron job.
