Website Publicity

Hey People,

I just finished a site and I've got myself in the search engines (well just google and I need it to crawl my site to update) but I don't seem to be able to find a place that I can list my site that have other PHP programs. Mabye we need a place that people can post their websites (not just programs). With people's sites hosting programs and their own stuff for download. My site is www.meezerk.com and I can't seem to get the word out. If anybody has any ideas, please let me know.

Well www.hotscripts.com I think still allows you to list a PHP related web site. My site www.phpscriptsearch.com won't allow you to list your site but don't forget to add your programs.

You should add your programs to all of the sites you can find because this is what will provide you with more traffic.

Hotscripts.com and cgi-resource are two very popular choices. I use Hotscripts at least twice a week and have used it to locate several free and pay application solutions.

Hey, how does your CowCounter script work? By passing the value in the URL, it seems like I could create a little loop that'll just go about creating files in the directory... what if I specified "index.php" as the parameter, would it then overwrite that file??

You can set it up so that it uses a seperate directory on your server. Just copy ALL files to that directory and call the image from there so it will not touch your site. However, I did test your question and it does change the first letter of the file that you call if it is not a counter file (hense you can disable CowCounter itself). I think I'm gona fix this problem right now and you should be able to download v1.1 in about 30 minutes.

Thanks

That's a good idea.
