Check the link efficiency | A link is considered efficient in case it can be loaded or contains redirection to an available page. |
Checking method | There are two methods of checking a link efficiency - by means of sockets or with the help of file_get_contents() function. The first method is preferable, as it allows setting timeout for a site and defining redirection via headers ("Location: "). The second method is recommended only in case sockets handling is forbidden by the hosting provider. |
Timeout for a site (sec) | Timeout for a site can be set only for checking by means of sockets. |
Maximum number of redirections | The parameter defines maximum number of redirections from page to page; upon reaching it, the link checking is aborted (to avoid cycling). |
Check backward link | The function allows defining the presence of a link to the given address at the checked page. In case "URL with a backward link" field is specified for a link, then the backward link will be checked at this page. Otherwise, the backward link will be checked at the main resource address. |
Check for URL in the tag <a href="URL">...</a> |
Checking a backward link for <a> tag with the given address. In case asterisk (*) is set at the end of the link, then links with random ending will be considered. For instance, "http://server.com/from.php?*" allows defining all backward links to the from.php script. |
Check for HTML-code at a page | Checking the defined HTML-code availability at the resource page, for instance, a banner code, a button code etc. Empty lines and spaces at the beginning and at the end of lines are not considered. |
Get Google PageRank (PR) rating | Google PageRank rating acquisition during links checking. |

Number of checking results at a page | Number of links in a batch, checked at a script call. Upon reaching the given number, checked page is refreshed and the script is performed anew. |
In case additional fields for a link description are necessary, one should indicate their names in this form.
