4. Preview of the next ARELIS version - part 7 |
We're currently working on a new ARELIS version. The new ARELIS version will have many new features and many improvements. We think that it will be the best and most complete link exchange, link popularity and off-site web promotion solution. In the next few weeks, we'll show a preview of some of the new ARELIS features in this newsletter. Part 7: Quickly work with link exchange forms Some web sites want you to fill out a form if you want to exchange links with them. The new ARELIS version makes dealing with these web sites as easy as possible. Whenever ARELIS finds a web site with a link exchange form, it will automatically fill out the form for you so that you just have click the Submit button: If the other web site requires a reciprocal link, all you have to do is to tick the Include in link pages checkbox in ARELIS and ARELIS will take care of the rest. Exchanging links has never been easier. It's a free update for registered users The features above are only one of many new features that will be available in the new ARELIS version. A public preview of the new ARELIS version is planned for this month. We'll announce its official release in this newsletter. Although the new version will have many more features than the current ARELIS version, it will be a free update for registered users of the current ARELIS version. If you haven't tested the current ARELIS version yet, you should do so now. |
