I am checking it out. The hosting requirements for PHP to be configured for Safe_Mode = OFF will be a problem for some hosting accounts.

The signup process takes you through a OTO to save $118 on the $197 paid version since the "free version has some features limited and some disabled."

That's two warning flags for an easy to use plug and play free linking solution.

I retrieved the activation email out of the Hotmail spam folder. (Is it really all that hard to write autoresponder emails that don't get flagged as spam?)

Now I am logged in to the members area. I have seen this backend script before that the seller uses to manage their site. I am more interested in figuring out the software used to build the site than the linking service they provide. Did anyone else signup and take a look at the site? Any ideas what software they used to build their site with?

I am having a hard time finding out what exactly I need to do to use the link service. Almost every navigation tab seems to take me to a page promoting downlines or affiliate opportunities for the $197 upgrade.

Finally found the download link in step 3. The pdf bonus in step 4 lead me to "You don't have permission to access /free-version/NewAgeLinkExchange.pdf on this server."

I unzipped the package and viewed the readme. I am a bit discouraged by now because I still can't find a comparison between the free and paid versions.

Can't find any screenshots or links to sample sites of the software in use.

I decided to just submit a support ticket asking how to install it into a WordPress site.

I see three possible uses for this software but don't know how to incorporate it into a WordPress blog:

1. A page template like the sitemap plugin that makes an self-updating directory page with a link under Pages in the sidebar.

2. Substitute the Blogroll code for the link exchange code so that my linked partners appear in the Blogroll

3. Tie into the existing categories somehow so that if a visitor clicks on the Video Game category the archived posts are displayed and the link partners are displayed at the bottom.

I have looked through the code and most of it is encrypted so it doesn't lend itself to easy mods.

It is a lot of work to set up for one website. It's not for mass site promotion. A good opportunity for an outsourcer to provide an installation and configuration service per site.

I'll update this review when I hear back from them. If it will work with WordPress, I will test it further.
