Thread: Vantage Theme

Vantage Theme

Hello,

I was interested in your Classipress theme as it is similar in structure to a link directory, I then noticed you have a "Vantage" business directory theme scheduled for release.

Will this behave like a link directory, i.e. allowing people to list their sites for a link?

If so will it support checking for reciprocal links, and allow reciprocal links to be on another domain? By that I mean, install "Vantage on Domain.com but require reciprocal links to Domain2.com, or even rotate the targets for reciprocal links between Domain2.com, Domain3.com, Domain4.com....

If so will these reciprocal links be checked to ensure they are valid, i.e. check page is not no indexed / no followed, check page is not blocked by robots.txt, check that the link itself is not no followed? It would be good if there were an option to check whether the page is indexed in google, and check its postion in relation to the front page of the site, i.e. only allow links from link pages that are themselves linked from the front page of the listers website, to prevent use of orphaned pages for the reciprocal link.

It would be good to be able to set the user agent that was used when checking links too.

Thanks, Jez

At this stage we don't have full details of the functionality of the new themes, so if you are interested to know more about them, you can sign up for the newsletter as per the links on the themes page, and learn more as it comes to hand. I would recommend following the Appthemes blog or twitter as this is where official announcements are made in the first instance.
