RLS is a public 3rd party outbound link counting and verification tool. It is also a simple and quick tool to look up a referring and destination link pair and see in simple terms how many times that link has been used.

The blatant misuse of keywords in website metadata has made them largely redundant from a search engine optimisation point of view (apart from compliance). In really simple terms SEO is about good organic content and mostly creating links from one site to another. With referlinkshare.com site owners can easily get real information about how many times one sites users are clicking through to another site. This information is publicly available and ultimately designed so that one site can use it to encourage another site to create a reciprocal link.

referlinkshare.com sits between the referring and destination websites. When a user clicks an outbound link on the referring site they are taken via referlinkshare.com to their destination link. Their click is recorded in a database on referlinkshare.com. No private information about the user is stored.

No. Technical content warning - referlinkshare.com does not use the meta refresh tag to forward a user to the destination link. All of the action takes place 'server side' where the link pair are examined. If the link pair exists on the database the share count record is incremented by one. If the link pair doesn't exist a new record is created. Once this query has taken place the user is forwarded using a HTTP header location directive.

The site is owned and was developed by graphics-it.com. It was created to compliment the links management tools available to users of Colab™ (Graphics IT's Client CMS toolset).

RLS is not intended to be a substitute for Google Analytics. On the plus side you are not required to register to use this service nor do you have to add any javascript to your website. Also you don't have to wade through a Google Analytics dashboard! You simply create an RLS link on this page and paste it into the links page on your site. Visit the lookup page to check the performance of that specific link.

RLS is not intended to be a substitute for your site statistics software. If you know the difference between hits, unique visitors, visits, kbytes and pages and enjoy wading through these stats then maybe it's not for you. Refer|Link|Share's underlying theme is 'keep it simple stupid'. It is a simple and quick tool to look up a referring and destination link pair and see in simple terms how many times that link has been used.
