I started noticing this error on some of my blogs:

ajax error in outlink collection

when clicking on a link. A box would pop up, state the error, then disappear.

I tracked it down to using the zdstatistics plugin. There may be some incompatibility with another plugin, or more likely newer versions of WordPress.

Deactivating the zdstatistics plugin fixed the error.

Since I have started using Piwik to track referring links and keywords there is no reason to use a stats plugin like zdstatistics or Google Analytics anyway.

There is an interesting service called Links Alpha that will take your WordPress blog posts and automatically repost them to Twitter, Facebook, and other social network websites.

This should be a great way to get easy backlinks to your blog.

So I tried this with a Twitter account.

Unfortunately, Links Alpha insists on making Twitter posts using a url shortener. The Links Alpha help guide, which is not very helpful, indicates that one can use their url shortener account to get stats of clicks through their link. All you have to do is enter your bit.ly account information.

The problem is I did not do this. I did not want shortened links. Rather, straight links from Twitter to my blog for maximum seo benefit.

Links Alpha used its own url shortener (not bit.ly) anyway.

So I found another WordPress plugin called WP to Twitter. Takes a little bit to setup through Twitter, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

WP to Twitter worked perfectly. My WordPress blog posts saw the title of the post immediately appear on Twitter, with a direct link back to my blog post.

But now the question is can Twitter be set to not no-follow links in Tweets?

Here is a list of websites where you can submit an article with spin syntax, and the site will then distribute different spun versions of your article to other sites (typically WordPress blogs):

Syndicate Kahuna – $67 per month

Notes: Put links within the article using the special token. There are no author resource boxes.

SEO Linkvine – $67 per month

Niche Press Platinum – $67 per month

Article Ranks – $39 per month or there is a pay as go option where each article costs $2 and a minimum deposit of $20 is required.

Notes: Put links within the article. There are no author resource boxes. The divider between spinning options is ‘~’ instead of ‘|’ as used with most spinning programs, so a search and replace needs to be done when copying from another program.

Important: Based on my experience some of the sites in this network have good rankings. The quality appears to be better than some other services.

Submit Eaze – $78.95 one time fee.

This software will automatically create accounts for you at article sites. You can then add your spin ready article to the software and it will spin the article title, article body, and author resource box – and automatically submit your unique articles to the article sites. You can also manually add as many article sites as you want to submit uniquely spun articles yourself. Must have software for the price. (Also includes ability to quickly submit your site to over a thousand directory sites.)

TrafficKaboom – $497 yearly or $147 every 3 months.

I believe this is by the owners of Syndicate Kahuna (Traffic Kahuna) and I think some of the ‘testimonials’ are by that “TK” system. It is not clear how different Kaboom is.

I decided not to try this service because of the high $147 entry point just to try it, a stupid name, and a bogus scarcity of being limited to 500 members. Looks more like a pitch for quick cash rather than an ongoing service.

Not Recommended:

Articles Crush – $47 per month.

Note: Links within the article are not allowed. Must put links in an author resource box.

Horrible experience. They put the wrong author on the article plus there were other problems. The owner was an incredible jerk and quite inhospitable to a number of customers. Stay away from this if they’re still in business.

SEO Link Machine – $37 per month.

Did not try this service although very tempted at the price. Offers article spinning and a drip feed.

The problems: This is a private blog network of new, no value, PR0, .info blogs, owned by one person. The comments for the service indicated he was really struggling trying to answer if the blogs were on unique C classes – not sure if he actually ever answered that. Plus someone posted a link to a couple blogs and the content on them was absolutely horrible.

No quality control and I did not want to be associated with that even to try it out. With one owner the entire network could be gone tomorrow. But maybe in the future this will look better.
