I want to know what is the best way for a links manager to add links in his db when surfing and selecting web sites.

Uh...couple suggestions:
1) Edit your database off-line with a program like MS Access or MS Excel (there are a number of Topics that address doing this). Then export the file as a tab delimited text file. Then upload the file to your server. Make sure that you update the linksid.txt file.
2) Manually enter in links information via the admin.cgi script.
3) Use the Spider Pro or the other spider program being written by Bmxer to extract links from the Web.
4) Buy a licensed copy of LINKS SQL and use the RDF ODP dump script to add links to your MySQL links table.

OK,
And what do you think about using LWP url checker mod for doing that?
It would be practical to use it and just to have to enter the url in the add form, but it would be better if the links adminisrator have the ability to not enter name and e-mail...is it possible?

Code:
'Contact Name' => [7, 'alpha', 0, 20, 1, '', ''], 'Contact Email' => [8, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '[^,]+@[^,]+\.[^,]+'],
Change the bolded 1 to 0.
Put in a default value in these fields.
Example:
Code:
'Contact Name' => [7, 'alpha', 0, 20, 1, '', ''], 'Contact Email' => [8, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '[^,]+@[^,]+\.[^,]+'],
Add default values in between the ''.
Like the following:
Code:
'Contact Name' => [7, 'alpha', 0, 20, 1, 'admin', ''], 'Contact Email' => [8, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'admin@yourdomain.com', '[^,]+@[^,]+\.[^,]+'],
Good luck!
