The link board

A link exchange board for travel blogs

Ask for links to a page that deserves them, or offer a spot on yours. Members answer with offers from their own sites, and you accept the ones you want.

Four rules keep the board fair

The board checks them itself, not a moderator, so they hold for every member on every day.

2 open posts each, seven days apiece

The board stays a conversation rather than a feed. A post closes on its own after a week, and closing it early is one click.

Title

La Rioja by train: every route, costed

Why it's worth linking to

Updated this spring, with timetables and fares for all six lines.

Open for a week

Post

Up to 2 links ahead, no further

You can receive a couple of links before you give one back. After that the board asks you to help somebody else first.

No swaps, no chains, nothing for sale

Nobody is paired up to link to each other, and nobody pays. You accept the replies you want and owe nothing for the rest.

Every accepted link is on the record

Accepting a reply puts the link on My links for both of you, and it counts toward the balance from then on.

What a post looks like from both sides

The same post, as the member who wrote it and as the members answering it see it.

Name the page and why

Pick one of your approved sites, name the page, and say in a line why it is worth linking to.

You stay in charge of every link

The board suggests and members offer. The decisions stay yours.

  • Accept or ignore

    Only the offers you accept become links.

  • Close a post any time

    Got what you needed? Close it and the offers stop.

  • Choose your site

    Post from any of your approved sites, one at a time.

  • Report a problem

    A person reads every report about a post or a member.

Questions, answered
