Our website uses RSS XML link trades with our competitors, to link with each other when we have an article in common. We want an XML management tool, via a website, that will automatically track and control links on our site, based on the XML feeds of our competitors sites. The system will be expected to: 1. Read our RSS XML as well as our competitors, and accurately see matching entries. You will have to be creative to see most of the matches, we expect 90%+ matching, and the ability to manually make matches. 2. Visit their URL's and verify they are linking to us. 3. Control the links on our website, based on XML and link-checker. 4. Each competing website will have an account to use this system, and see which links are 1. Missing 2. Active 3. Unlisted. It will provide them with a custom XML file of the sites we see as matches, but they are not linking to. 5. Check once every day for changes to other sites' XML files, and track changes over time so we can see how fast they're moving. 6. Update our links every day so we're 100% efficient 7. To make things super easy, we have an example of what we're looking for, and access will be given to the winning bidder.

We will give you our complete RSS XML feed to populate a database on your server, and then expect to receive everything zipped up and sent to us to implement on our Redhat server. We will give specifics of server should you ask and need to know. Also we expect help and debugging with the migration to our server.
