Are You SURE Your Link Partners Still Link To You?

It's a fact. While most link partners are scrupulouslyhonest a few are little more than link scam artists. They'll take alink from you to them. Put up your link back. But then when you're notlooking take yours down.

They win. You lose.

Now I'm not saying this happens a lot. But it does happen. Andif you're the type this would irritate, you've got to have a way tokeep your link partners honest.

You do so by monitoring your links. Not like a neurotic everyday - unless you want to. But more like a checking the oil in your car.Maybe once a month. Or every six weeks. You know just to keep things onthe up and up?

Now sure, if you've got nothing better to do, you can do this checking by hand.

. Keep a list of link partners.

. Note the page your link appears on.

. One by one go to the sites, scan the page and eyeball your link. Up front and personal.

Of course if you're like me, you're constantly running out of day before running out of work. So who has time for that?
