Emma Webb’s Reciprocal Links

Visitors submit a link request with [ewrl_submit]. You approve it, or add a partner yourself, under Reciprocal links. Approved partners are shown with [ewrl_links] or the Reciprocal links widget.

A daily check requests only the backlink page the submitter entered, to see if your domain is still on that page. No screenshots are loaded. The plugin does not call WordPress.com, Google Analytics, or the author’s server.

Privacy

The public form stores the site name, site URL, backlink URL, and description the visitor types. A short-lived transient limits repeat submissions from the same address. Incoming referrer hostnames are stored locally. The daily backlink check requests the partner URL stored with an approved link. Nothing is sent to a third-party analytics or screenshot service.
