NETWORK SETTINGS

First Name, Last Name, and Email Address: Please provide accurate and complete contact details so we can keep you informed and up-to-date with important news related to the network. The email address you use here is also the email address where you’ll receive notification that you’ve either been approved or declined from participating in the network.

Outbound Links Per Post: This is where you define how many outbound links “could be” included on each blog post you make. Consider it a maximum setting rather than an absolute value as the exact number of links will be varried (but remain below your maximum setting here) depending on the actual keyword content of your blog post, and assuming other partners in the network wish to use those keyword terms for their own links. If set at the maximum setting of 6 you could potentially only have 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or no outbound links on each post.

Open Links In New Window: This will open all outbond links placed on your blog in a new window.

Cache My Incoming Links: This feature will allow you to cache your incoming links on other partners blogs for a certain period of time. It’s recommended that you leave this at set at “Indefinitely” as it will keep all links previously assigned to you in place permanently. If set at 30, 60, or 90 days the network will attempt to reassign all of your incoming links to different partners blogs (assuming there are positions available) at those time intervals - allowing you to redistribute your links around the network.

Default New Post Setting: Leaving this feature “On” will ensure all new posts made to your blog become part of the network and earn you credits. You can then exclude any future posts on a case by case basis, when making those posts, using the check box feature you’ll find on the “create / edit” new post section in WordPress. If set to “Off” all new posts made by your blog will be excluded from the network by default and you’ll have to manually include them when making those posts by checking the box when you create / edit a new post in WordPress. If you’re looking to earn maximum credits it is best to leave this on.

 

YOUR CONTEXTUAL LINKS

This is where you need to enter the keyword terms you wish to use as anchor text for your links, and the URL’s that those keywords should link to when other partners link back to your blog.

You can include up to 10 different URL / Anchor Text combinations here, however the URL’s must belong to the domain your blog is installed on. If you would like more information about selecting the correct keyword terms for maximum advantage please read this document.

 

NETWORK MODERATION

This section requires you to moderate other blogs that are waiting to be accepted into the network (assuming there are new members awaiting approval at that time). This action will also only be required occasionally but when it does appear please take your time to moderate these blogs thoroughly.

Please ensure you’re familar with the Moderation Quality Control Guidelines we’ve defined and then visit each URL listed taking a few minutes to review each blog. Each blog must meet the minimum requirements based on your interpreation of those guidelines. If you believe the blog to be of acceptable quality then change the respective drop down menu to “Approve”. If you believe it’s below the acceptable quality standard then change then select “Deny” from the respective drop down menu.

NOTE: Multiple members are asked to moderate the same blog to ensure there is no bais occuring. We then work out whether that blog should be accepted or decline based on an “average opinion ratio” from all unique members input. As a result please be fair in this process and realise that in order to become a partner yourself (and retain acceptable quality status) other members are also reviewing your own blog. You can read more about the overall moderation process here.
