Blog Flux Update

Receint Blog Flux Update - email announcement they sent us.

Hello jporterindustries,

It has been a while since we sent out an email, and a few things have happened since then.

First off, Google has updated the public PageRank value. For those using our PageRank Checker - http://pr.blogflux.com - we have cleared our cache so the new PageRank values should be showing. On that same vein, we have updated our tracker to be a 301 redirect. Those concerned about SEO values etc and us using a redirector - you can relax about that now!

Secondly, I was off to some conference and have fallen behind a bit. In fact, as of right now there are 261 blogs waiting approval. It is a balancing act - keeping quality high with manual verification while also making sure blogs get approved fast enough. With that, I am happy to announce that a new team member has been added to the site. He will be helping with approving blogs and adding even more features. So those still waiting to be approved - sorry, we will get to you.

Lastly, and most exciting to me, is the announcement of our link-tracking service, LinkLog. Available at http://linklog.blogflux.com the service allows you to track all links clicked on your site by just adding some JavaScript to your site. The service is very cool - it gives you a breakdown on a per day/week/month/year basis. Furthermore, if you look up info on a link, it gives you a breakdown on that link, on what page it was clicked from and what link text was used. We also track unique clicks and total clicks. Check out the demo at http://linklog.blogflux.com/demo.html

Best of all, LinkLog is the perfect compliment to MapStats - http://mapstats.blogflux.com With the two combined you can find out where your visitors are from, how they are arriving at your site, what pages they are viewing, and where they are going to leave your website.

As always, the service is free. And as always, we are working on improving the service and adding totally new (and useful) services.

With this done now and out of the way, I will be concentrating on firstly answering all emails I have received and then working on getting the rest of the blogs approved.

As always, do not hesitate to email me your concerns, questions, or comments.

Cheers.

Regards,
Ahmed Farooq
