Link manager software

[CAZ]

Is there a way to automate link aquisition and/or exchanges?
I.E products like...
xxxhttp://linkmachine.net/xxx

Sure. There is a way to jump off a cliff too. All automated link exchangers are bad.

I guess what i am looking for is something that will manage links rather than get or place links.
thoughts?

i dont believe there is anything wrong with using a automated link program, it makes the process easier for both partys and with most of them you have total control, so if they are bad its because the user is not using the software correctly. i admit to getting many pr0 links starting off to up my link count, but i have since set my program to only search pr3 or better and you can totally choose which ones you link to. the software basically finds the sites for you then you make the decisions from there! just my opinion!!!!!

Yes That php link directory looks excelent, I wish I'd found it before.
I started by making a manual link directory, not realising how many links I needed and checking them ect. and how much work that would be.
I then got the gotlinks directory which is super easy to operate. I just check all pages before I accept them and it automatically takes them off ect. if they don't link back. Its easy in that it takes me roughly 1 minute every 3-4 days to see if anyone has requested to link to me or not. I have about 130 or so link exchanges through that, they dont seem to show up in the SE's though, except msn for some reason.
I also subscribed to link metro, this has been ok. You just submit your site then ppl contact you if they want to exchange, You have to manually exchange but linkmetro checks if they are linked to you before and you can either accept or decline.
I recently got linkmachine, it's ok. You can get a free package, and you get a free 10 day trial on top of that of the premium package. I didn't find the premium package very good at all for many reasons. I will continue with the free package as you just wait for an email that someone has filled out to link to you and click either accept or decline.
So now I have 3 link directories on my site, not sure if thats good or bad, but I cant think why it would be any different than having 1 with lots of pages.

Do not waste your money on reciprocalmanager.

I have had nothing but problems with it. The features listed do not fully work.

The owner has offered me my purchase price back I just dont have time right now to start over on linking.
