Linkbacks

Does anyone use this? -->Linkbacks

Is it worth it?

 

Well Linkbacks are only one aspect of vBSEO. Since we have vBSEO installed, yes we are using Linkbacks. I'm not entirely sure I know what the benefits are, but I like being able to see what sites are linking to us, and in what context.

 

I just noticed the "Share" drop down you have. :doh:

 

We're working on configuring VBSEO as I type. So I'm still trying to understand it.

 

Very cool. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll see if I can help. It was confusing for me at first, too but their support forums have a lot of helpful threads.

 

Thanks, I cheated though, I hired one of their people to install it for me

 

Is there any benefit to approving them or not? I don't really understand the concept.

Thanks.

 

You could always see referral links in the server logs if you want, but it is more convenient to view them in the control panel. I only approve the links that say something nice about my community, but it's occasionally useful in determining where a troll attack is coming from

 

That is nice to know

 

Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet. :p

 

If the trolls are smart, they don't use live links. But not all of them are smart.

 

I've heard of it before...back during that invasion of that other site. The other forum kept talking about it but I didn't understand how it worked.
