I have a dedicated server being setup by my host today. While I wait for this, and the domain name and niche have been chosen, it's down to choosing a link list script.

This is where advice from veteran LL owners is invaluable. The obvious route would be to choose the most expensive and expect that to be the best choice. Reading what someone said earlier though, Jel I think, I'm going to need to know the scripts that perform best for adult webmasters.

Anyway, here's a few scripts for us to chew on (no affiliate links apart from my one above to my host):

Gossamer Links v.3.0.1

Price : $450

I like a few things about this script and it's going to take some convincing to consider any other script. The plugins are killer. Many are free and those that aren't free are worth the price. PPC Plugin, for instance, is money in the bank. Think of it, would you pay for a ppc campaign on something like LOR or penisbot? I would. Possibility is they would not sell traffic anyway but, until I know any better, having the option for the future is nice. I also like the fact that this company is like the bank of american. Been around long time and good solid product (from what I hear!).

Dragon List

Price : $325 and subsequent licenses are $75

I am so close to choosing this product over gossamer. Here we have something designed by venturi and mishi - regulars here on the board. The great thing this has going for it is that it's build with the adult webmaster in mind. Not only that but, having submitted to Mishi's LL many times, I fucking LOVE the webmaster-side features. Venturi, Jim, is a wicked guy too and he has helped me with many a coding project. Price is good to and if I setup other niche LLs in the future the low price tag, coupled with experience of setting up the one LL, will make work easier as I go.

I don't have anything to say about these others. That doesn't reflect on their quality. It just means I know fuck all about them.

K Links

Price : from $69

Link Admin

Price : $400

Only things I know about this one is that it was created by Richard of Richard's Realm and Greenguy uses it on LOR. I'm guessing this makes it an excellent script.

X Power Links

Price : $199

Link Organizer

Price : $500

Hot Links SQL

Price : $89.95

PHP Link Directory

Price : $25 to $75

A good all-round LL script from what I hear.

Talk to MrMaryLou if you have any questions, as he's the support guy for Richard.

Though I don't use any of scripts listed, I think LinkAdmin, Gossamer, X Power Links, and DragonList are the most heavily used and trusted. At least, those are the scripts I see discussed most. There was some sort of hub-bub a while back about X Power Links not producing new features, but I believe that was contested by them. Hell, LinkAdmin hasn't released any updates in almost 60 years and it's used very heavily.

Just find a script you feel you can work with and has all the little gadgets you want and run with it.

I agree. So far Gossamer has what I need. But looking more closely today at Link Admin and Dragon List.
