A new WordPress plugin, WP-Backlinks, was released last week that I decided to check out as the plugin had an impressive name. The plugin’s name is a bit confusing as what the plugin actually does is help manage link exchanges, although I really think that most sites won’t need this plugin.
The WP-Backlinks plugin adds a form to each of your pages so that other site owners can let you know when they’ve created a link to your site. These entries then all appear within the admin section as well as the Page Rank of each page requesting a link, where you can decide whether or not to include a link back to that site, on the relevant page on your site.
Personally, I can’t see a practical use for this plugin as I doubt that many site owners have more link exchange requests than they can handle manually. Also, smaller blogs that would benefit the most from link exchanges aren’t going to get that many requests.
