Attention: Starting with version 1.6, Sphider-plus supports logging of 'Most popular links'. This item requires additional rows in 'links' table of the database. If you update from a former version of Sphider-plus, please run the .../admin/install_bestclick.php script. If you upgrade from original Sphider or install from scratch, you don't need to run this script. Its features are also included in the other installation scripts.
