Advanced Link Manager gives you the ability to generate web pages with links to your partners and upload them automatically to your website.

Generating link pages in Advanced Link Manager is easy. All you need to do is assign links to a category and then go to the [Tools] -> [Generate link pages] menu to access the wizard.

To assign a link to a category just right click on a link in the Unverified Referrers report and choose Assign to link category. If no category is created, or if you want to create a new category, choose New in the above menu.

It is important to understand that there are two types of categories in Advanced Link Manager. Therefore you need to assign the link to a link category, and not to a referrer category, which is used for other purposes.

Once you have assigned the links to your categories you can begin generating your link pages.

Access the link page generator wizard by going to the [Tools] -> [Generate link pages] menu. The first step of the wizard allows you to select an existing template, or create a new one if none exists.

If you need to create a new template, select "New Template" and click on Next. The following step allows you to define the layout of the link page. Once you define a template, you can use it later to generate your link pages.

Defining a link page layout consists of selecting how the categories will be shown (all in one page, or each category in its own page), how many links you want to show on each page, and how the HTML page should look when generated.

For the HTML page layout, you also have the ability to define templates. A default template exists that can help you get started right away, but you can always create a new one to customize the look and feel of your link pages.

The next step of the wizard allows you to specify how the links and their respective categories will be sorted.

The final step of the wizard allows you to define the location of your link page(s). By default they are saved in a folder, but you can upload them to your website using a predefined FTP template.

When the wizard finishes, the link pages are generated. You are then presented with a dialog that allows you to generate the link pages again in case you wish to change something, or edit the HTML template, to match the same look and feel as your website.

Link Page HTML Layout

The link pages HTML layout can be customized and the changes can be saved in a template for later use. To access the link page HTML layout manager, go to [Options] and click on the [Manage link page HTML layout] menu.

There are two templates created by default, one for each type of layout: all categories in one page and each category in its own page. When you create a new template, you can begin with one of these templates and then customize them to your needs.

To customize the HTML code, click on the section you wish to change. An HTML editor will open where you can edit your changes. Click OK to save the changes and then Preview to see if everything looks as it should.

There are two HTML sections that you can customize: Index page and Category page. These are two separate entities when you create the link pages with one category per page. However, when you choose to display all categories in the same page, these two entities combine to give you the same result in one page.
