Effortless Install and Updates Click to learn more Most scripts make you upload files, CHMOD them and run complicated setup/upgrade processes. With WSN Links, upgrading to a new release is one click in your admin panel (no uploading, no permissions issues). You can even use a tool to upgrade dozens of your sites at once. Initial setup is also super-simple: upload one file, fill in your database info and it'll install the rest of the files automatically. If you'd rather do nothing at all, professional installation is included free.
	Search Engine Optimization Click to learn more Apache URL rewriting ensures relevant keywords are in your URLs. Google sitemap generation tells google the value of pages. Set meta tags overall and per-category or per-link. Use the reciprocal linking tools to trade links with your site's visitors, and keep an automated eye on them to ensure they keep the link in place. You can also let your visitors exchange links with other sites listed in your directory via the powerful link exchange system -- fit for running a dedicated link trading site, if you like.
	Web 2.0 Features Click to learn more WSN Links comes with all the community-building interactive features you want, but probably never expected to get: comments and ratings, an invitations system, saved links, tagging, guestbooks, avatars, private messaging, buddy and ignore lists, member ranks and ratings, a moderator system, instant messaging, a shoutbox, even a chat room. WSN Links takes full advantage of RSS, allowing you or others to submit feeds whose links will be automatically added to the directory every day. Of course you can also make feeds, from the standard whole-directory feed to per-category or any other sort of custom feed you can imagine.
	Easy Integration Click to learn more Already have a bunch members who signed up with another script? WSN Links can integrate with most MySQL-based member systems, and the integration wizard makes it easy. Includes but not limited to all the WSN scripts, phpBB, vBulletin, Invision, Mambo, PHP-Nuke, SMF, WordPress, e107 and FusionBB. You can also match the visual look and feel of WSN Links to the rest of your site using the stylesheet and templates system.
	Adjusts to Your Needs Click to learn more Take what you want, leave what you don't. WSN Links features switches with which you can turn functionality on and off instantly. If you don't want something, just turn it off. The "simple" setup option defaults most switches to off so that those who want a no-frills links directory can have their wish... and activate a frill or two any time.
	Not Just For Links Click to learn more Despite its name, WSN Links can handle any sort of directory or related concept. People use it for cookbooks, coupons, games, business directories, article directories, software directories and more.
