Web application (server) - backlinks counter
Purpose:
To count the exact number of backlinks to each URL (depending on the search engine), for up to 20 URLs.
For example, we want to know exactly how many backlinks go to [login to view URL], how many backlinks go specifically to the page [login to view URL], and [login to view URL], etc. (up to 20 URLs).
Accuracy is very important here.
Application Functionality:
The user chooses/enters their options according to the variables (see “user variables” below). If the user enters all variables as required, and presses the “Go” button, the application must run.
The application will then count the number of backlinks to each of the URLs that the user has specified, according to the search engine (and region) that they have specified (see “user variables”).
Example Output (you would present this in a table format, 2 columns):
Page URL Number of Backlinks
[login to view URL] 55
[login to view URL] 15
[login to view URL] 0
[login to view URL] 4
