I do add a couple subdomains from my own hosting every once in awhile but I usually trade those with other subdomains...I see what you mean though, there's some people on there with like 500 thumblogger subdomains and it gets annoying wading through those to find good trades.

that's right. But sometimes there are some quite good subdomains that are better than a lot of domains :)

Nah - agree all that subdomain stuff is shit.

I can understand a few. But all you are doing is getting a links from the same site. Just makes the people look like they have more trades than they do

I love linkspun!

Let me see if I still have. I will send to you privately.

Not that I have seen. I have been hand checking them.
If you see a place can you show us? That would rock if I didn't have to hand check for dofollow/nofollow stuff.

The are some sites/programs that can find those things.

I'm going to hit this thread with a nice bit of knowledge about trading links / link etiquette, I see a lot of people making some common mistakes.

Script does check for nofollow... I had a trade come back on the error list because the other party had no follow tagged my back link.

The best thing to check is number of trades a person already has...
For the most part guys who have 500+ trades on there aren't listing garbage.
You won't find too many premium sites, but for perfectly relevant hand written bulk back links it's the best free option out there.

link me 50 blogshttp://www.linkspun.com/profile.php?profileID=2714

Good to know! Thanks!

I must have cuaght some stuff before the scripts ran to catch them, i re: the nofollow thing anyhow.

Thanks!

linkspun is great, but it is running slower and slower by the day :(

takes me ages to do anything these days.

Yeah, I'll second that. I'll host it for free to speed the thing up.

Gotta agree with this too, It was very fast in the beginning and now it feels bloated and slow...but still it's an amazing tool.

Yeah create tool, you just need to learn how to budget you time between screen loads. A could purge of cheaters and inactive accounts would speed up the database some. :winkwink:

Hows it running now

The load issue is being worked on right now. I think over the next week you should all notice some speed improvements for sure.

You guys need to realize that with the owner MIA, we don't get feedback and we aren't users of the site, one of our admins has adjusted and cleaned up the DB and we've also let the programmer know about the issues we saw.

If anyone sees an issue in the future, please email it to support {at} amerinoc dot com.

It actually seems to be getting better already. The speed is tolerable now, whereas it was so slow before that I stopped checking.

About a week ago I started getting new trade requests again - and most of these requests were from half decent sites.

we do trade links on linkspun, you [and anyone else! :pimp] will find us as 'matyko42' and 'netconvert'

Peace

Lets do it! :pimp

Signed up over a year ago and never got anything going.

Well, that has changed and I am now open for trades. Take a look at what I have and see if we can do some quality trades.

Thanks Jay for bring this topic up. Helped kick me in the butt and get going. :)

Linkspun name = looky_lou

This isn't exactly what I was talking about, but it's step #1 - I've notcies a lot of people don't ddo shit to keep their blogs updates, thus diminishing the value of the link...

A lot of outgoing links on a few of those. I hit you up for a trade :)

Hi Jay,

When you have a minute, plese add my link. I added yours nine days.
Im pineapplez on linkspun.

:thumbsup

Damn the site is slow!

Amerinoc do something! Don't you have a fast box to put that site in?

I think it's just the coding of the site...it used to be really fast when Link Spun first came out, now it feels sooo bloated...I don't think that's Amerinoc's fault though (at least I hope not!)

When Linkspun started it was kind of thrown together quickly and it handled everything pretty good. As time went on it was sped up with an awesome box and programming tweaks...

But then Jdoughs went missing so Drocd couldn't keep adding more tweaks. The site was originally created with the idea of having perhaps 250,000 trades total and 50,000 of them active at any given time. Since then it has grown to over 750,000 trades with over 100,000 active. There are over 100,000 pages in the system and all of them need their PR checked over and over...

All of that is way more than anticipated with the system in its current form. But Drocd was going to tweak more with Jdoughs monitizing the site and being able to pay for the programming...

In his absence (Jdoughs), Drocd and I have come to an agreement where some tweaks will be made in the coming weeks to speed things up.

Also keep in mind TradeSpun.com can handle your mainstream trades!

I have gotten several on there now, can't wait to see it grow.

I just fixed the PR checker there... You can manually update PR you know is wrong, but it should move through all of the sites PR within a few days.

Yeah, it is slow as balls but it does the trick...VRocks -- are you still active on there?

what happened to Jdoughs ?

Locked up?

Active? I'd say yeah... I have been doing so much moderation lately that my trade requests are back up to 300!
