While I’m usually looking for quality links to point to my sites, there are times when I feel like I just need a little extra juice of any type pointing to certain pages. I have a network of sites I have used for this purpose in the past but I was always looking for a way to be able to throw my links across a high number IP’s with distinct registration information that could not easily be identified as a network. It was also important that I be able to use PHP in order to automate a lot of the site creation work.

Enter the Free PHP Hosting sites. Of course free hosting has been around since the geocities days, but these are different. It’s free PHP hosting - generally on a subdomain of the host. Granted, they aren’t the world’s highest quality links, but getting deep links to your internal, long-tail pages from 100 different IP’s with little effort is worth something. Plus, you don’t have to mess with buying domain names, hiding your registration information, paying hosting fees, or all of the usual headaches of making a link network look like its not… a network.
