It seems to me there is an error in the linkchecker.
I used a 32k big list of stat-services together with a parked domain of mine that is 2 years old. It has 1 backlink so I thought it would be a good test to see how these statlinks can be best made visible to search engines.
So I used the rapid indexer. Newest version. Loaded the list of services with correct marker and in the other file I wrote the domain. Without www or
http://. Only the tld and the second level domain. In the form domain.com (Not my real domain).
After it was finished, nearly 100% didnt receive an error and I wanted to check if the links are there. With the linkchecker.
Unfortunately the linkchecker cant handle the statsfile with the marker and isnt automatically replacing the url. So I had to replace the marker and take this file to check. As domain I again checked in the form domain.com without www or something else.
The check started and nearly 100% were shown as found. So i checked the sites manually and... no link there. Sometimes there is wrote on these sites "Couldnt find something about domain.com" but its not a link. And sometimes even this isnt there. Then the only place where domain.com is mentioned is the url of the page.
So I thought maybe it needs the http. So I used then
http://domain.com
http://www.domain.com
Now it seems it finds less results as found. But... the link isnt on the page. On one page the link is there... somehow. But leads to a subdirectory that isnt there on the targetpage. Which means this link is useless and shouldnt be found.
And again there are sites where nowhere a link is visible. But now i found what the checker maybe confused. A link in the form:
http://twitter.com/home?status=http.../matthewg15/4268537926/ http://bit.ly/cwpp30
That means if thats the link that was found its not real. Its only part of another link and no real backlink.
So it seems something needs to be fixed there so that only real backlinks are found. That means for me that subdirectories doesnt count as long as I didnt check "Match Domain only" in Link Checker...
Edit: By the way it would be interesting to let the linkchecker check if the link is no- or d-o-f-o-l-l-o-w (Whats the thing to make these 2 words stars???). Or is there already a way to check this?
