Maintain list of do follow blog isn’t easy specially when you need to keep it up to date. Recent alexa update make me think. How to update the list with minimal effort

After googling for alexa rank script finally I found interesting php class written by David Walsh. Combine his class with existing do follow blog list by Jimmy Kurnia Indradjaya for this php code :

<?php
/*

with
Indonesia DO Follow list at http://jimmykurniaindradjaya.com/2008/06/07/daftar-situs-indonesia-yang-do-follow
to keep up to date list

/* the alexa rank class */
class alexa
{
/* initial vars */
var $xml;
var $values;
var $alexa_address;

/* the constructor */
function alexa($alexa_address,$domain)
{
$this->alexa_address = $alexa_address;
$this->xml = $this->get_data($domain);
$this->set();
}

/* gets the xml data from Alexa */
function get_data($domain)
{
$url = $this->alexa_address.'http://'.$domain;
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url) or die('Cannot retrieve feed');
return $xml;
}

/* set values in the XML that we want */
function set()
{
$this->values['rank'] = ($this->xml->SD->POPULARITY['TEXT'] ? number_format($this->xml->SD->POPULARITY['TEXT']) : 0);
$this->values['reach'] = ($this->xml->SD->REACH['RANK'] ? number_format($this->xml->SD->REACH['RANK']) : 0);
$this->values['linksin'] = ($this->xml->SD->LINKSIN['NUM'] ? number_format($this->xml->SD->LINKSIN['NUM']) : 0);
}

/* returns the requested value */
function get($value)
{
return (isset($this->values[$value]) ? $this->values[$value] : '"'.$value.'" does not exist.');
}
}

/* retrieve & display rank */

/*
$alexa_connector = new alexa('http://alexa.com/xml/dad?url=','rasyid.net'); // domain only!
echo 'Rank :: '.$alexa_connector->get('rank'); // returns 118
