New Improved Linker’s Union: Site Updates

Randall McCarley

by Randall McCarley
July 6th, 2007

Hint: Skip to the end for a great link-building tip.

I finally upgraded WordPress to 2.2 and the process seems to be smooth. If you catch any errors are random strangeness please shoot me an email @ info [at] linkers union . com.

With that update I’m hoping the login and commenting problems that have plagued this site will be fixed. Do me a favor and comment to let me know it works for you (it always worked for me - go figure).

Just before the update I did some house-cleaning removing the forums (”there were forums?” you ask - yes there were). If there is interest in yet another link exchange and discussion forum let me know and I’ll consider reactivating it. In the mean time there is always SEO Refugee for more link-building, SEO and web development tips. I love that place, now you should go over and love it too.

I moved the navigation and dropped in Adsense Ads per Mystery Mentor’s Adsense Tips. I’m hoping to swap them out with YPN and am waiting eagerly to hear back from them (Shhhh - don’t tell Google!). Not even a confirmation email so far…

And regular readers probably noticed I have started to use the “more” operator for Wordpress. There are a couple reasons for this including driving more PR to the Free Link Giveaways (more value for you) and just because I look at this site more than anyone else and scrolling through several long posts gets a bit old.

I also bumped up the font-size a bit because my eyes are getting old.

So there you are, the new and improved Linker’s Union. If you have any suggestions for improvement drop me a line.

And here is your link-building tip: tell your friends about the Free Link Giveaway. I want to do another blast this weekend. How will this help you get a link? Send a note like this…

I know a guy that is giving away free links. The site is a PR5 so those could be pretty valuable especially for start-up sites like yours. He’s been doing this for months now and really doesn’t want anything in return.

But I do.

If you want a free link, throw one my way and I’ll hook you up.

Everyone wins!

    Comment power on!

    I solved the comments issue. It has to do with URL redirecting and solving the canonical issue. Oddly it only effects some sites and most get a pass. The official WP Trac is here: Comment Posting Leads to Blank Page.

    So now I need a different canonical fix and just for this site as all the others work fine.
