I have an idea. Many times I find links to files that make me go through linkbucks.com and hit the "skip ad" to go to the regular site. It would be great if you could replace the linkbuck links with the links to the actual websites and then check for links. Because this script doesn't check for linkbucks but does for the sites they usually go to (rapidshare, megaupload, etc).

Just a thought.

It is possible to do what you have asked. However, linkbucks is a controversial re-director, banned on many boards. The nefarious functionality that re-directors enable, cause me to say no to this request. The links that it obfuscates could come at a price -- your RS/MU/DF credentials. It is a small matter to hijack a session with a re-director and snag usernames/passwords from unaware browsers. The site could easily perform man-in-the-middle exploits. My advice, avoid re-directors.

Hm, okay. Just some people post links to linkbucks and I just wanted to see what you thought about it. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
