To the link list gods -- Question

[AcidMaX]

OK I am starting up a site that will be a link list. I am curious about the software that can be found that will count in/out hits and then rank the links accordingly based on category.

I am looking for something preferably free, but cheap will be ok to.

Any advice you can give on the software out there?

I bought phpListPro and it turned out to be a scam from what I can tell since there is no support for it and practically no directions.

I then found a personal links 2.0 which is good and I can customize if need be, but would wrather find something done already and save my time working on the site.

I know about AutoRank PHP/Pro, but im not really interested in it, unless its a last resort.

P.S. And if you feel so inclined, maybe some advise on submitting my link list, where to submit/how etc. I am new to the link list game and would like as much info as possible.


Please advise,
Andy
