    Hello...

    Do you do maintenence on your directory?

    Well most newer versions of phpld offer you regular maintenence cycles...

    Why should i worry this?

    Because it shows....

    1. Server Not found ....Dead links ( slows down your indexing )
    2. Service unavailable ( give a few days )
    3. Forbidden errors ( You know... dead link )
    4. Bandwidth limit exceeded ( Wait a few days and recheck )

    I strongly believe that when you do regular maintenence on your directory your only helping yourself
    as well as Google achieve faster indexing which means better overall rankings....

    BIZ-KING was done when it had close to 2000+ links and when i finally did 6 months later i had dead 400+ dead links and dead reciprocals....:eek:

    So whats your take? Care to share ....

    thx

    Do you use the build in link validation system to weed out invalid recips ?

    We 'look under the hood' every day, maybe only for minor maintenance
    Or maybe we do a 'full service' edit
    Or check the dead links
    etc etc
    But the answer to your question is YES we do maintenance

    Well to be honest i found that you could delete recips by accident...
    so now i go to each after they are invalid and manually check to see if my link is still alive if so then they are pplaced back into the system ....

    If Not then a letter is sent and if not answered within a week they are deleted..

    thx
