Today I red one very interesting blog by Blue Hat SEO on Link Saturation with Link Matching which is kind‘a new concept for me and really got me interested. From my own experience I do believe that there is a huge amount of backlinks to our websites sitting there in the middle of nowhere, not being indexed by the search engines because of poor internal linking structure or whatever other reason. The Blue Hat SEO covered the idea that if you help that website get indexed, you will be awarded with good backlink and I definitely agree that this will/is possible with some specific script. Also on his website he proposes the use of PHP/PERL/JAVASCRIPT for pinging this website to get crawled by search engines, but I think there is one quite more intelligent way in which you don‘t have to ping everyone but only confirmed link locations. Here is how:

• When you find that you receive a hit from a web page (not a search engine), the CMS should check:
• 1st If this "refferer url" is not already in your CACHED LIST (special location in the database where you keep all referer URLs and their hits) and if it‘s already listed then increase the hits or if its not then:
• Checks if this referer URL really contains a link to your website and its not from restricted location (aka email or whatever other resource it might be) and if its visible then list in in the referers database and request ping for the search engine crawlers to index that website

One other use for this module can be to easily locate referring URLs that you exchanged links or even paid for and see how many hits you got from them ....

It is quite common that webmasters exchange links with the hopes to bring traffic from them but instead they are just dead links sitting only for the search engines to see. With this module you will be able to see the website that you receive traffic from and how many hits you got from each individual URL for some period.

Currently the biggest problem that my team has to figure out how to solve is the large database this feature will create as if you receive 1 hit from 10,000 URLs then the cms will end up with a huge list of URLs and this will be quite database consuming. For now I'm planning to develop this script to store the website url, the website itself, the link to which this page is referring and the hit count for that particular page. In this way we will have all key metrics to analyze which website is bringing us traffic and how much.

Yes AW Stats does provide some of those metrics but they are not quite precise since they do not show clearly if this page is a public or a private page (aka email message) and in this way its not really useful. For a change this will be a great tool and I hope I can get the maximum of it.

Lets not forget to thank Blue Hat SEO for the great idea!
