Main Window Description
The main working window of LinkAssistant is made up of 4 sections: Partners, Email, Browser and Report.
Main Window Section Tabs
You can navigate through these sections by clicking the corresponding tabs or using the hot keys: Alt-1, Alt-2, Alt-3, Alt-4.
Partners Section
Partner Section displays a list of all your link partners. Here you can see the partner's domain and backlink page URLs, contact info, status, assigned category in the links directory, Google PR and a variety of ranking factors. You can select what data on the partners to display by configuring the workspace.
It is in the Partner Section where most of the actions with your link partners are performed: you can add and remove partners, edit partner information, set up links to partner websites, assign anchor texts, verify if partners are linking back, and so on.
Email Section
The Email Section gives you access to LinkAssistant's fully functional email client. Here you can manage all your correspondence with your link partners: send out and receive emails, create and edit email templates, quickly add new partners who contacted you with link exchange requests as well as edit the existing link partnerships.
Before you can start working with emails you need to configure your email client settings.
Browser Section
The Browser Section is ... well an Internet browser, only it's not just a regular browser, but one that was specifically designed and tweaked for link building. Here, besides simply browsing the websites, you can quickly add them to your partner list, update partner info, automatically fill out link exchange forms and harvest the URLs of all websites a webpage links to (a great way to find relevant partners).
Report Section
Report Section gives you flexible reporting tools to analyze your link building campaign. Here you get the dynamics of your link building in graphs and figures. You can evaluate how fruitful your efforts were and how they affected your PageRank, link popularity and other ranking factors.
The reports are fully customizable. You can change the look and feel of the reports, choose what data to display and brand the reports with your company logo by configuring the report templates.
Reports can also be quickly saved to your hard drive, emailed, or uploaded to the web using a variety of publishing options.
