Backlinkseller at a glance

What the extension does

The extension brings your Backlinkseller advertising slots into the YOOtheme Pro builder as an element of its own. You place the element where the links are to appear and style it like any other list in the builder — bullets, columns, spacing, link style.

Until now the slots had to be built in through a child theme or a custom template fragment. That is no longer necessary: the extension is a plugin that registers itself with the builder.

The screenshots in this manual were taken on a German Joomla installation. The extension follows the language of your installation, so the labels appear in English on an English backend.

How the links reach the page

  1. While the page is being built, the element asks the Backlinkseller service for the links intended for this exact page address.
  2. The answer is taken apart: address, link text and the text before and after it are extracted from every entry.
  3. The element outputs the entries as a list — in the style you set in the builder.
  4. The result is cached so that not every page view triggers a new request. For how long is up to you.

What you need for it

  • An account at backlinkseller.de with an ID of your own
  • Joomla 6 and PHP 8.3
  • YOOtheme Pro 4.5 or 5.x as the active template

A child theme is not required. An existing one does no harm either.

What you can configure

The credentials live centrally in the plugin settings, not on the individual element: ID, channel, cache lifetime and optionally a fixed page address. The appearance, by contrast, is set per element in the builder — so you can present the same account differently on different pages.

The details are under Plugin settings  and Using the element in the builder .

Important before you go live

The Backlinkseller service is contacted unencrypted, and every request transmits the visitor's IP address and the requested page address to the service. Both have consequences for your privacy policy. Please read Privacy and security  before enabling this on a public website.

Applies to version 2.7.4.
